As you may know, that set has an (early) ATSC tuner. I found one of them a while ago and rescued it from a recycling bin. It does have stereo speakers. Unfortunately, its ATSC implementation was flawed, with very noticeable interlacing artifacts. I found it annoying enough to be unwatchable, and since the ATSC tuner had everything to do with why I rescued it, back to the recycling it went.
I suspect with digital over-the-air TV switching to mpeg4 slowly that the tuner in this TV will become very irrelevant in the future. I plan on using it for the composite and component inputs mostly. Laserdiscs so far look pretty great on the set!
The only Sharp TV I have is an 19" TV/VCR combo from 1995. The TV and VCR still works fine. The only thing I had to do to the VCR to get it to play was clean the video heads. I'm currently using at as my bedroom set with a Sega Genesis hooked up via RF. On the composite input I have my trustee old Sony Blue Ray player from 2012 that still has a composite output. On older sharp TVs from the 80s. There is problem that can render the set as trash. I had a Montgomery wards set (OEM was Sharp) and on the yoke were it touches the rubber wedges the yoke windings were completely ate to pieces. With the yoke destroyed I scraped the set for parts.
that would be a pretty good TV for early HD era consoles like the original xbox up to the 360 era. and even with a component to HDMI adapter you could plug in modern consoles that's a good find!
Luckily for me I don't need to store analog TVs except for VCR and VHS tapes reasons. I had a vertical problem with my last TV but had a quicker warm up (brighter on mid settings) tube on than this video's tube; meaning, my tube has more hours but other internal electronic hardware failure causes a need for components tradeoff on same model and maker TVs. Its ashame I can't keep TVs I recycle or threw away for now antique reasons but their bulky size and unweildy weight is not worth their value to be storing.

Nice old tech, works right out of the dumpster! Save that to setup with retro consoles!

Trash picked CRT is best CRT.
