PRODUCT DISPOSAL
This product utilizes lamp containing a small amount of mercury.
Disposal of these materials may be regulated due to environmental
considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact
your local authorities, the Electronics Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org,
the lamp recycling organization www.lamprecycle.org, or Sharp at
1-800-BE-SHARP.
U.S.A. ONLY
Caution Concerning Lamp Replacement
■ This projector utilizes a pressurized mercury lamp. A loud sound may indicate lamp failure. Lamp
failure can be attributed to numerous sources such as: excessive shock, improper cooling, surface
scratches or deterioration of the lamp due to a lapse of usage time.
The period of time up to failure largely varies depending on the individual lamp and/or the condition
and the frequency of use. It is important to note that failure can often result in the bulb cracking.
■ When the lamp replacement indicator and on-screen display icon are illuminated, it is recommended
that the lamp be replaced with a new one immediately, even if the lamp appears to be operating
normally.
■ Should the lamp break, there is also a possibility that glass particles may spread inside of the
projector. In such a case, it is recommended you contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector
Dealer or Service Center to assure safe operation.
■ Should the lamp break, the glass particles may spread inside the lamp cage or gas contained in the
lamp may be vented into the room from the exhaust vent. Because the gas in this lamp includes
mercury, ventilate the room well if the lamp breaks and avoid all exposure to the released gas. In
case of exposure to the gas, consult a doctor as soon as possible.
Caution
• Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp will be very hot and may
cause burns or injury.
• Wait at least one hour after the power cord is disconnected to allow the surface of the lamp unit to
fully cool before removing the lamp unit.
• Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp unit or the inside of the projector.
• Do not loosen other screws except for the lamp unit cover and lamp unit.
• Make sure to reset the lamp timer only when replacing the lamp. If you reset the lamp timer and
continue to use the same lamp, this may cause the lamp to become damaged or explode.
■ Carefully change the lamp by following the instructions described on pages 63 to 65.
* If you wish, you may have the lamp replaced at your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector
Dealer or Service Center.
* If the new lamp does not light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorized
Projector Dealer or Service Center for repair.

Observe the following safeguards when setting up your
projector.
Caution concerning the lamp unit
■ Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp
ruptures. In case of lamp rupture, contact
your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector
Dealer or Service Center
for replacement.
See “Regarding the Lamp”
on page 63.
Caution concerning the setup of the
projector
■ For minimal servicing and to maintain high
image quality, SHARP recommends that
this projector be installed in an area free
from humidity, dust and cigarette smoke.
When the projector is subjected to these
environments, the vents and lens must be
cleaned more often. As long as the
projector is regularly cleaned, use in these
environments will not reduce the overall
operation life of the unit. Internal cleaning
should only be performed by a Sharp
Authorized Projector Dealer or Service
Center.
Rest your eyes occasionally.
■ Continuously watching the screen for long
hours will cause eye strain. Take regular
breaks to rest your eyes.
Do not set up the projector in places
exposed to direct sunlight or bright light.
■ Position the screen so that it is not in direct
sunlight or room light. Light falling directly
on the screen washes out the colors,
making viewing difficult. Close the curtains
and dim the lights when setting up the
screen in a sunny or bright room.
Caution regarding placing of the projector
■ Place the projector on a level site within the
adjustment range (9 degrees) of the
adjustment foot.
■ After the projector is purchased, a faint
smell from the vent may appear when the
power is first turned on. This is normal and
is not a malfunction. It will disappear after
the projector is used for a while.
When using the projector in high-
altitude areas such as mountains (at
altitudes of approximately 1,500
meters (4,900 feet) or more)
■ When you use the projector in high-altitude
areas with thin air, set “Fan Mode” to
“High”. Neglecting this can affect the
longevity of the optical system.
■ Use the projector at altitudes of 2,300
meters (7,500 feet) or less.
Warning about placing the projector in
a high position
■ When placing the projector in a high
position, make certain it is carefully secure
to avoid personal injury caused by the
projector falling down.
Do not subject the projector to hard
impact and/or vibration.
■ Protect the lens so as not to hit or damage
the surface of the lens.
Avoid locations with extremes of
temperature.
■ The operating temperature of the projector
is from 41°F to 95°F (+5°C to +35°C).
■ The storage temperature of the projector is
from –4°F to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C).
Do not block the exhaust and intake
vents.
■ Allow at least 11
13
/
16
inches (30 cm) of
space between the exhaust vent and the
nearest wall or obstruction.
■ Ensure that the intake vent and the exhaust
vent are not obstructed.
■ If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a
protection circuit will automatically put the
projector into Standby mode to prevent
overheat damage. This does not indicate a
malfunction. (See pages 61 and 62.)
Remove the projector power cord from the
wall outlet and wait at least 10 minutes.
Place the projector where the intake and
exhaust vents are not blocked, plug the
power cord back in and turn on the
projector. This will return the projector to
the normal operating condition.

Introduction
Caution regarding usage of the projector
■ If you are not to use the projector for a long
time or before moving the projector, make
certain you unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet, and disconnect any other
cables connected to it.
■ Do not carry the projector by holding the
lens.
■ Do not expose the projector to direct
sunlight or place next to heat sources.
Doing so may affect the cabinet color or
cause deformation of the plastic cover.
Other connected equipment
■ When connecting a computer or other
audio-visual equipment to the projector,
make the connections AFTER unplugging
the power cord of the projector from the
AC outlet and turning off the equipment to
be connected.
■ Please read the operation manuals of the
projector and the equipment to be
connected for instructions on how to make
the connections.
Using the projector in other countries
■ The power supply voltage and the shape of
the plug may vary depending on the region
or country you are using the projector in.
When using the projector overseas, make
sure you use an appropriate power cord for
the country you are in.
Temperature monitor function
■ If the temperature inside the projector
increases, due to blockage of the air vents,
or the setting location, the temperature
warning indicator will blink. And if the
temperature keeps on rising, “ ” will
illuminate in the lower left corner of the
picture with the temperature warning
indicator blinking. If this state continues,
the lamp will turn off, the cooling fan will
run and then the projector will enter
Standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance
Indicators” on pages 61 and 62 for details.
Info
• The cooling fan regulates the internal
temperature, and its performance is automatically
controlled. The sound of the fan may change
during projector operation due to changes in the
fan speed. This does not indicate malfunction.

Introduction
Inserting the Batteries
1
Pull down the tab on the cover and remove the
cover towards the direction of the arrow.
2
Insert the batteries.
• Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match
the m and n marks inside the battery compartment.
3
Insert the lower tab of the cover into the opening,
and lower the cover until it clicks in place.
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode.
Please follow the precautions below
Caution
• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with alkaline or manganese batteries.
• Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the m and n marks inside the battery
compartment.
• Batteries of different types have different properties, therefore do not mix batteries of different types.
• Do not mix new and old batteries.
This may shorten the life of new batteries or may cause old batteries to leak.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control once they have run out, as leaving them in can cause them to leak.
Battery fluid from leaked batteries is harmful to skin, therefore ensure you wipe them first and then
remove them using a cloth.
• The batteries included with this projector may run down in a short period, depending on how they are kept.
Be sure to replace them as soon as possible with new batteries.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control if you will not be using the remote control for a long time.
• Comply with the rules (ordinance) of each local government when disposing of worn-out batteries.
Usable Range
The remote control can be used to control the
projector within the ranges shown in the
illustration.
• The signal from the remote control can be
reflected off a screen for easy operation.
However, the effective distance of the signal
may differ depending on the screen material.
Note
When using the remote control
• Ensure that you do not drop it or expose it to
moisture or high temperature.
• The remote control may malfunction under a
fluorescent lamp. In this case, move the
projector away from the fluorescent lamp.

• Depending on specifications of equipment or the DVIóHDMI digital cable, the signal transmission may
not work property. (The HDMI specification does not support all connections to equipment that has
digital output terminal using a DVIóHDMI digital cable.)
• HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a digital AV interface that can deliver a high-definition
video signal, multi-channel audio signal, and bi-directional control signal all in just one cable.
• Because it is compatible with the HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) system, the
digital video signal does not degrade when transmitted, and a high-quality image with a simple
connection can be enjoyed.
• The HDMI terminal does not support the CEC signal.
• You can also use the COMPUTER/COMPONENT 2 terminal as the MONITOR OUT terminal. To use
this terminal as an input terminal, set “COMPUTER2 Select” to “Input” before connecting the external
equipment. (See page 52.)
• When you connect video equipment with a 21-pin RGB output (Euro-scart) to the projector, use a
commercially available cable that fits in the projector terminal you want to connect.
• The projector does not support RGBC signals via the Euro-scart.

Viewing Stereoscopic 3D Images
Precautions on Viewing Stereoscopic 3D Images
Before viewing stereoscopic 3D images, please read this section carefully.
WARNING
■ Under normal conditions, viewing stereoscopic 3D images is safe for any duration that you would
normally view your screen. However, some people may experience discomfort. The following
precautions are recommended to minimize the potential for experiencing visual problems or any
adverse symptoms.
■ Take regular breaks, at least 5 to 15 minutes after every 30 to 60 minutes of stereoscopic 3D
viewing.
* Based on the guidelines issued by the 3D Consortium revised December 10, 2008.
■ Maintain an appropriate distance from the screen. Viewing from too close a distance can strain
your eyes. If you experience eye strain, immediately discontinue viewing.
If you experience any of the following symptoms during viewing:
• nausea, queasiness/dizziness, headache, blurry vision or double vision that lasts longer than few
seconds
Do not engage in any potentially hazardous activity (for example, driving a vehicle) until your
symptoms have completely gone away. If symptoms persist, discontinue use and do not resume
stereoscopic 3D viewing without discussing your symptoms with a physician.
• As you get more comfortable viewing stereoscopic 3D:
• Adjust the parallax on the 3D-video playback equipment. (You may not be able to adjust the
parallax on some models of equipment.)
• Adjust the projected image to the most comfortable viewing size by zooming.
(Projecting images on the smallest or largest screen size possible may eliminate the stereoscopic
effect and strain your eyes.)
• Use the DLP
®
Link™ Invert function to properly set the video for your left and right eyes. (For
details on using “DLP
®
Link™ Invert”, see the section on its operation in this operation manual.)
■ The following people should limit stereoscopic 3D viewing:
– Children under 6 years of age (to protect the eye growth process)
– People with a history of photosensitivity
– People with heart disease
– People in poor health
– People who are sleep deprived
– People who are physically tired
– People under the influence of drugs or alcohol
■ Epilepsy
A small percentage of the population may experience epileptic seizures when viewing certain
types of images that contain flashing patterns of light.
IF YOU OR ANY MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY HAS A HISTORY OF EPILEPSY
The following people should consult a physician before viewing stereoscopic 3D images.
– Anyone with a history of epilepsy, or who has a family member with a history of epilepsy
– Children under 6 years of age
– Anyone who has ever experienced epileptic seizures or sensory disturbances triggered by
flashing light effects
SOME LIGHT PATTERNS MAY INDUCE SEIZURES IN PERSONS WITH NO PRIOR
HISTORY OF EPILEPSY
Discontinue use if you experience any of the following symptoms while viewing stereoscopic
3D images.
– Involuntary movements, eye or muscle twitching
– Muscle cramps
– Nausea, dizziness, or queasiness
– Convulsions
– Disorientation, confusion, or loss of awareness of your surroundings
58
Information on the 3D Projection Function
• To display 3D images, this projector requires:
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
1) Source devices that support the field sequential format
– For details on the supported signals, see the Compatibility Chart in this operation manual.
2) 3D LCD shutter glasses that support the DLP
®
Link™* system
– Contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer for purchasing details.
* DLP
®
Link™ is a trademark of Texas Instruments.
• The projected image may become dark when using the 3D projection function (with “DLP
®
Link™ ”
set to “On”).
• When “DLP
®
Link™” is set to “On”, the following functions may not work fully or may not be
available at all.
– Keystone/Resize/Magnify
• 3D formats except for the field sequential method, such as ones used for Blu-ray 3D or DVD
prepackaged media, are not compatible with this projector. (As of November 2012)
• If the power of your left and right eyes greatly differs and you primarily use one eye for viewing the
images, the images will not appear in 3D.
In addition, images may be difficult to view in 3D or images may not be able to be viewed in 3D
depending on the individual or the content being displayed.
The stereoscopic effect varies with the individual.
• 3D viewing is possible within the range that the 3D LCD shutter glasses are able to receive light
signals reflected by the screen. However, most 3D images are manufactured to be viewed from
directly in front of the screen, so 3D viewing is recommended directly in front of the screen as
much as possible.
– The range for receiving signals varies depending on the 3D LCD shutter glasses. For details, see
the operation manual of your 3D LCD shutter glasses.
• 3D images may not be able to be played back correctly on your computer.
Appendix
■ How the 3D Projection Function (DLP Link™ ) Works
The 3D projection function of this projector is compatible with the DLP
®
Link™ system. To watch
3D images, you use a pair of 3D LCD shutter glasses that alternately display the projected images
for the left and right eyes and are synchronized with a control (light) signal.
Shutter glasses
control light signal*
* The control light signal is transmitted from the lens of the projector, reflected by the screen, and
received by the light reception sensor on the 3D LCD shutter glasses. Therefore, the range of 3D
viewing varies depending on the specifications of the 3D LCD shutter glasses (light signal
receiving sensitivity).
For details, see the operation manual of your 3D LCD shutter glasses.

Hg LAMP CONTAINS MERCURY For State Lamp Disposal
Information
www.lamprecycle.org or 1-800-BE-SHARP
U.S.A ONLY
Caution Concerning the Lamp
■ This projector utilizes a pressurized mercury lamp. A loud sound may indicate lamp failure. Lamp failure
can be attributed to numerous sources such as: excessive shock, improper cooling, surface scratches
or deterioration of the lamp due to a lapse of usage time.
The period of time up to failure largely varies depending on the individual lamp and/or the condition and
the frequency of use. It is important to note that failure can often result in the bulb cracking.
■ When the lamp replacement indicator and on-screen display icon are illuminated, it is recommended
that the lamp be replaced with a new one immediately, even if the lamp appears to be operating
normally.
■ Should the lamp break, there is also a possibility that glass particles may spread inside of the projector.
In such a case, it is recommended you contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or
Service Center to assure safe operation.
■ Should the lamp break, the glass particles may spread inside the lamp cage or gas contained in the
lamp may be vented into the room from the exhaust vent. Because the gas in this lamp includes
mercury, ventilate the room well if the lamp breaks and avoid all exposure to the released gas. In case of
exposure to the gas, consult a doctor as soon as possible.
Replacing the Lamp
Caution
• Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp will be very hot and may cause
burns or injury.
• Wait at least one hour after the power cord is disconnected to allow the surface of the lamp unit to fully
cool before removing the lamp unit.
■ Carefully change the lamp by following the instructions described in this section.
* If you wish, you may have the lamp replaced at your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector
Dealer or Service Center.

• Images may appear to flicker when fluorescent light or ambient light
enters your vision.
– Turn off the lights.
– Block any ambient light.
–
Ghosting (a double image)
occurs without the image
appearing in 3D.
• Check that you are using 3D LCD shutter glasses that support the
DLP
®
Link™ system.
– Be sure to use 3D LCD shutter glasses that support the DLP
®
Link™
system.
–
• Check that the shutters on the 3D LCD shutter glasses are working
properly.
– Turn the 3D LCD shutter glasses off and then on again.
– Check the batteries of the 3D LCD shutter glasses.
– Check that the 3D LCD shutter glasses are set to 3D viewing mode.
Some 3D LCD shutter glasses are equipped with a special viewing
mode (such as “dual view mode”) in addition to the normal 3D
viewing mode. See the operation manual of your 3D LCD shutter
glasses.
–
• Check the settings of the projector.

• If the projector is connected to a computer for 3D image playback,
check that a stereoscopically-enabled application is being used.
– Use the applicable software.
– Set the applicable software to the field sequential format.
–
• Check that there are no obstructions between the screen and the 3D
LCD shutter glasses.
– Remove any obstructions.
Any obstructions may cause the glasses not to function properly
causing the lenses to flicker or turn off. Do not place your hand or
other objects in front of the 3D control signal sensor on the glasses.
–
• Check whether there is a source of high intensity lighting nearby.
– Block the light or turn it off.
High intensity lighting can interfere with communication between the
3D LCD shutter glasses and the screen resulting in some flicker.
–
• Check whether two or more projectors are projecting 3D images at the
same time.
– Use only one projector at a time.
–
This unit is equipped with a microprocessor. Its performance could be adversely affected by incorrect
operation or interference. If this should happen, unplug the Unit and plug it in again after more than 5
