How to set up the projector and screen
Caution: When setting up the projector
• Do not place it in humid or dusty places, or places where the air is sooty of full of cigarette smoke. If the lens,
mirror, or other optical components become dirty, the picture will blur or darken, making viewing difficult.
• Do not expose to extreme heat or cold.
Operating temperature: 41°F to 104°F (5°C to 40°C)
Storage temperature: -4°F to 132°F (-20°C to 60°C)
• Do not tilt the projector more than 5°.
■ Position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly onto the screen washes out
colors, making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when using the screen in a bright or sunny
room.
■ The best picture will be obtained when the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the screen. Position the projector
and screen as shown on the previous page.

E-ZOOM Function
E-ZOOM Function
■ This projector has an E-ZOOM (640 × 480 dot, etc.) mode which enlarges the display when inputting an image of
less than 800 × 600 dot in resolution. In the XGA (1024 × 768 dot) mode, compression enables full-mode display.
1. Press the MENU button to select E-ZOOM

Press the MENU button. While the MENU screen is
displayed, press the ADJUSTMENT / buttons to select
IMAGE ADJ. Then press the ENTER button to display the
IMAGE ADJ. screen as shown. Press the ADJUSTMENT

E-ZOOM (OFF): The resolution of the image does not change.
E-ZOOM (---): No input
Notes:
• Select ON 1 or ON 2 to set the status for either a 640 × 400
dot image or 640 × 350 dot image in the E-ZOOM mode.
• In the E-ZOOM mode, an enlarged display increases the
amount of data processed on the screen and a compressed
image decreases the number of lines displayed, which may
make characters difficult to read.
2. Press the E-ZOOM button on the remote
control.
The E-ZOOM button on the remote control can be used to
select E-ZOOM and NO E-ZOOM modes.
Note:
• In SVGA (800 × 600 dots) or Mac 16" (832 × 624 dots) mode,
(---) appears, indicating the E-ZOOM function does not
operate in this mode.
3. Press the MENU button anytime to exit
E-ZOOM mode.
Notes:
• E-ZOOM function does not operate in SVGA (800 × 600), Mac
16" (832 × 624), NTSC, PAL, or SECAM INPUT modes.
• When connecting to some Mac 16" notebook computers, 832
× 624 dot signals may be output even in 640 × 480 mode, thus
disabling the E-ZOOM function.
• When connecting to some SVGA notebook computers, 800 ×
600 dot signals may be output even in 640 × 480 mode, thus
disabling the E-ZOOM function.

When more than one code is being sent, send each command only after the OK response code for the previous
command from the unit is verified.
Note:
Using the computer control function of the unit, the liquid crystal projector conditions cannot be read to the computer.
Therefore, confirm the conditions by transmitting the display commands for each adjustment menu and checking the
conditions at the On-Screen Display. If the unit receives a command other than a menu display command, it will execute the
command without displaying the On-Screen Display.

Our projector uses LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panels.
These very sophisticated panels contain 519,168 pixels
( × RGB) TFTs (Thin Film Transistors).
As with any high technology electronic equipment such as
large screen TVs, video systems and/or video cameras,
there are certain acceptable tolerances that the equip-
ment must conform to. Sharp’s acceptable tolerances
permit a total of 6 inactive TFTs, which may result in
illuminated or inactive dots on the picture screen.
This will not affect the picture quality or the life
expectancy of the unit.
If you have any questions about this matter, please
call toll free 1-800-BE-SHARP (1-800-237-4277).
