-8
Ensure that you read the following safeguards when
setting up your projector.
Caution concerning the lamp unit
■ Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp rup-
tures. In case of lamp rupture, contact your
nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or
Service Center for replacement. See “Replac-
ing the Lamp” on page 93.
Caution concerning the setup of the pro-
jector
■ For minimal servicing and to maintain high
image quality, SHARP recommends that this
projector be installed in an area free from hu-
midity, 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.
Do not set up the projector in places ex-
posed 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.
The projector may be safely tilted to a
maximum angle of 9 degrees.
■ Placement should be within 9 degrees of
horizontal.
If you have application requiring tilt angle
exceeding 9 degrees, please check with your
local Sharp sales office.
Warning about placing the projector in
a high position
■ When placing the projector in a high posi-
tion, ensure to secure it carefully to avoid per-
sonal injury caused by the projector falling
down.
Do not subject the projector to hard im-
pact and/or vibration.
■ Ta ke care with the lens so as not to hit or
damage the surface of the lens.
Rest your eyes occasionally.
■ Continuously watching the screen for long
hours will cause eye strain. Ensure to occa-
sionally rest your eyes.
Avoid locations with extremes of tem-
perature.
■ The operating temperature of the projector
is from 41°F to 104°F (+5°C to +40°C).
■ The storage temperature of the projector is
from –4°F to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C).

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Introduction
-9
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, ensure
to use an appropriate power cord for the coun-
try you are in.
Temperature monitor function
■
If the projector starts to over-
heat due to setup problems or
blockage of the air vents, “ ”
and “ ” will illuminate in
the lower left corner of the picture. If the tem-
perature continues to rise, the lamp will turn off,
the temperature warning indicator on the pro-
jector will blink, and after a 90-second cooling-
off period the projector will enter the standby
mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on
page 91 for details.
Info
• The cooling fan regulates the internal tem-
perature, and its performance is automati-
cally controlled. The sound of the fan may
change during projector operation due to
changes in the fan speed. This does not
indicate malfunction.
• Do not unplug the power cord during pro-
jection or cooling fan operation. This can
cause damage due to rise in internal tem-
perature, as the cooling fan also stops.
Optional lens installation
■ Be sure to have service personnel install the
optional lenses.
Do not block the intake and exhaust
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 vents and the exhaust
vent are not obstructed.
■ If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a pro-
tection circuit will automatically put the pro-
jector into standby mode to prevent overheat
damage. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion (See pages 91 and 92.). Remove the pro-
jector 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.
Caution regarding usage of the projector
■ When using the projector, ensure not to sub-
ject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this
can result in damage. Take extra care with the
lens. If you are not to use the projector for a
long time, ensure to unplug the power cord from
the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables
connected to it.
■ Do not use the projector while holding the
lens.
■ When storing the projector, ensure to attach
the lens cap to the projector. (See page 13.)
■ Do not expose the projector to direct sunlight
or near heat sources. The projector may
change color or become deformed.
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 pro-
jector and the equipment to be connected for
instructions on how to make the connections.

Setting Up the Projector
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with the projector’s feet flat and level to achieve an
optimal image.
Note
• The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through
the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.
• For an optimal image, 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 projector in a sunny or bright room.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)
■ Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size. (For
details, refer to “SETUP GUIDE” contained on the supplied CD-ROM.)

Projecting a Reversed Image
Projection from behind the Screen
■ Place a translucent screen between the projector and the audience.
■ Reverse the image by setting “Rear” in the “PRJ Mode” menu. (See page 84.)
Projection Using a Mirror
■ Place a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens.
■ When the translucent screen is placed between the mirror and audience, set to “Front” in the “PRJ Mode”
menu. (See page 84.)
■ When the mirror is placed on the audience side, set to “Rear” in the “PRJ Mode” menu. (See page 84.)
Info
• When using a mirror, ensure that both the projector and the mirror are carefully placed so the projected
light does not shine into the eyes of the audience.
Ceiling-mount Setup
■ It is recommended that you use the optional Sharp ceiling-mount
bracket for this installation.
Before mounting the projector, contact your nearest Sharp Au-
thorized Projector Dealer or Service Center to obtain the recom-
mended ceiling-mount bracket (sold separately).
• AN-PHCM20 ceiling-mount bracket, its AN-EP101AP extension
tube (for the U.S.A.).

cover (on the bottom of the projector).
Info
• If you want to clean the air vents and the intake
vent cover during projector operation, ensure
to press

Cleaning the exhaust and intake vents
Cleaning the projector
■ Ensure the power cord is unplugged before cleaning
the projector.
■ The cabinet as well as the operation panel is made
of plastic. Avoid using benzene or thinner, as these
can damage the finish on the cabinet.
■ Do not use volatile agents such as insecticides on
the projector.
Do not attach rubber or plastic items to the projec-
tor for long periods.
The effects of some of the agents in the plastic may
cause damage to the quality or finish of the projector.
■ Wipe off dirt gently with a soft flannel cloth.
■ When the dirt is hard to remove, soak a cloth in a
mild detergent diluted with water, wring the cloth
well and then wipe the projector.
Strong cleaning detergents may discolor, warp or
damage the coating on the projector. Make sure to
test on a small, inconspicuous area on the projec-
tor before use.
Cleaning the lens
■ Use a commercially available blower or lens clean-
ing paper (for glasses and camera lenses) for clean-
ing the lens. Do not use any liquid type cleaning
agents, as they may wear off the coating film on the
surface of the lens.
■ As the surface of the lens can easily get damaged,
ensure not to scrape or hit the lens.

Hg LAMP CONTAINS MERCURY For State Lamp Disposal Information
www.lamprecycle.org or 1-800-BE-SHARP
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 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, 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.
■ 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.
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 burn
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.
* If the new lamp does not illuminate after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorized
Projector Dealer or Service Center for repair.

Background (Page 77)
Initial setting image projected when no signal is
being output.
Border (Page 49)
Projects a 4:3 image fully within a 16:9 screen by
keeping the aspect ratio at 4:3.
Clock (Page 68)
Clock adjustment is used to adjust vertical noise
when clock level is incorrect.
CLR Temp (Color temperature) (Page 61)
Function that can be used to adjust the color tem-
perature to suit the type of image input to the pro-
jector. Decrease the color temperature to create
warmer, reddish images for natural flesh tones,
or increase to create cooler, bluish images for a
brighter picture.
C.M.S. (Color Management System) (Page 64)
Function allows you individually adjust the display
characteristics of six colors (R: Red, Y: Yellow, G:
Green, C: Cyan, B: Blue, M: Magenta)
Dot by Dot (Page 48)
Mode that projects images in their native resolution.
Keylock Level (Page 85)
Mode that can lock the operation of projector but-
tons to prevent unauthorized adjustment.
Keystone Correction (Page 41)
Function to digitally correct a distorted image
when the projector is set up at an angle, smooth-
ens out jaggies on keystone images and com-
presses the image not only horizontally but verti-
cally keeping the 4:3 aspect ratio.
Phase (Page 68)
Phase shift is a timing shift between isomorphic
signals with the same resolution. When phase
level is incorrect, the projected image typically dis-
plays horizontal flicker.
Pict in Pict (Page 74)
The Pict in Pict (picture in picture) function allows
you to display two pictures on the same screen.
You can display the image input from a video as
an inset picture overlapping the main picture in-
put from a computer.
Picture Mode (Page 60)
Image quality enhancement function that offers a
richer image by brightening the darker portions of
the image without altering the brightness of the
brighter portions. You can select four different
modes: STANDARD, PRESENTATION, CINEMA
and CUSTOM.
Progressive (Page 62)
The progressive display projects a smoother video
image. You can select three different modes: 2D
Progressive, 3D Progressive and Film Mode.
Resize (Page 48)
Allows you to modify or customize the picture dis-
play mode to enhance the input image. You can
select six different modes: NORMAL, FULL, DOT
BY DOT, BORDER, STRETCH and SMART
STRETCH.
Shifting the lens (Page 38)
Function to adjust the position of the projected im-
age for the position of the screen by shifting the lens
horizontally and vertically.
Smart Stretch (Page 49)
Projects the image fully in a 16:9 screen by en-
larging only the surrounding areas while keeping
the aspect ratio in the middle part of the image at
4:3.
sRGB (Page 64)
An international standard of color reproduction
regulated by the IEC (International Electrotechnical
Commission). As the fixed color area has been
decided by the IEC, the color changes according
to DLP features, so that the images are displayed
in a natural tint based on an original image, when
“C.M.S. Adjustment” is set to “sRGB”.
Stack Setting (Page 84)
Setting for the stack projection that allows you to
increase the brightness of an image by stacking
multiple projectors and projecting same image
simultaneously. You can control projectors for the
stack projection by assigning a projector as the
master and the other projectors as the slaves.
Stretch (Page 49)
Mode that stretches the 4:3 image horizontally to
display it fully on a 16:9 screen.
System Lock (Page 79)
If the “Keycode” set in the projector is not cor-
rectly entered, the projector will not operate even
if signals are entered.
