SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 13A fuse. Should
the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or and of the same rating
as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the
mains plug and fit an appropriate type.
DANGER:
The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of
in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious
electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug.
Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:
If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.
The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Caution Concerning the Lamp Unit
Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp has ruptured. Please have
Sharp Authorized LCD Projector Dealer or Service Center replace
lamp if rupture occurs.
See “Replacing the Projection Lamp” on page 37.
Cautions 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. If the projector is used in these
environments, the lens will need to be cleaned more often, and
internal cleaning may become necessary. 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 LCD Projector Dealer or Service
Center.
Notes on Operation
The three marks shown on the left are caution labels for parts of
the projector that emit intense heat during operation.
The cooling fan (exhaust vent), the lamp cage cover and adjacent
areas may be extremely hot during projector operation. To prevent
injury, do not touch these areas until they have sufficiently cooled.
Allow at least 10 cm (3
15
/
16
inches) of space between the cooling
fan (exhaust vents) and the nearest wall or obstruction.
If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection device will
automatically turn off the projector lamp. This does not indicate a
malfunction. Remove the projector power cord from the wall outlet
and wait until the projector has sufficiently cooled. Then turn on the
power by plugging the power cord back in. This will return the
projector to the normal operating condition.

Congratulations On Your Purchase Of The PG-M10X/PG-M10S Digital Multimedia
Projector
The PG-M10X/PG-M10S is one of the smallest data projectors available today. Although small in size, the unit allows you to
project precise images up to 200 inches (measured diagonally) from your PC or Macintosh desktop or notebook computer,
VCR, document camera, laser disc player, DVD player, etc.
The unit can be operated from a standard table top. The unit can also be used to project images from behind the screen.
Main Features You’ll Enjoy
Compatible with following various color systems:
NTSC (U.S. and Canada standard)
NTSC4.43 (Middle East standard)
PAL (Western Europe standard)
PAL-M (Brazil standard)
PAL-N (Argentina standard)
PAL (60 Hz)

(PG-M10X)
Small size, and weighing only 1.4 kg (3.1 lbs.)
(PG-M10S)
Small size, and weighing only 1.4 kg (3.1 lbs.)
Using Digital Micromirror Device
TM
(DMD
TM
) by Texas Instruments we have developed an efficient design to improve light
output efficiency. With this improvement, we can better reproduce the three basic colors (RGB) required for color
reproduction on a single DMD. This results in superior brightness, smaller size and lighter weight.
Sharp, clear images
There is no RGB color separation, and the spaces between the individual pixels are not noticeable. That means sharp and
clear reproduction of small characters and figures. Take a closer look and notice the difference in quality!
Outstanding sharp, clear, 3D like images with vivid colors when reproducing DVD video and other high picture-
quality data/video sources
Accurate gray scale reproduction makes for more natural image displays. DVD and other high quality image sources bring
out the true image display quality of the unit.
Screen not distorted to a trapezoid (keystoning) when projecting to the height of the line of vision
Because the projection position is already set to the height of the line of vision, there is no keystoning effect.
Even when projecting above or under the height of the line of vision, image distortion (if any) can be adjusted using the
keystone correction function.
(PG-M10X)
Fully compatible with true XGA; support for SXGA using advanced intelligent compression technology
The advanced intelligent compression technology enables these projectors to present clear compression SXGA images
without any line omission.
(PG-M10S)
Fully compatible with true SVGA; support for XGA using advanced intelligent compression technology
The advanced intelligent compression technology enables it to present clear compression XGA images without any line
omission.
A remote control that can operate the PC
The supplied remote control both operates the unit and acts as a wireless mouse control to operate the PC connected to
the unit. The wireless mouse control is available when the unit is connected to USB or PS/2 port of the personal computer.
The compact and easy to carry cabinet with its contemporary design compliments any office, boardroom, or
auditorium.

Basic Information &
Preparations
Installation
The distance from the unit lens to the screen determines the size of the projected image. Therefore, you need to consider the
unit placement in relationship to the screen prior to making the electrical and signal connections. Appropriate screen size and
height are directly related to the unit’s position and need to be evaluated.
Tip
A non-glossy wall may be used as a substitute for a screen.
Positioning the unit
The projected image becomes larger as the distance between the unit and screen increases. The minimum image size is
about 36 inches diagonally at a distance of about 1.2 m (approx. 47
1
/
4
inches) and the maximum size is approx. 200 inches at
a distance of 6.8 m (approx. 267
11
/
16
inches) from the screen. Use the following information when you fix the position of the unit.

Notebook computers and resolution
standards
PG-M10X
The unit is designed to project industry standardized video
such as VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) or
XGA (eXtended Graphics Array). Notebook computers do
not use industry standards. They use whatever timing is
necessary to match their local LCD display. The end result
is typically not standard. By turning off your notebook's
display, the timing parameters are a bit more like the real
VESA or XGA signal.
PG-M10S
The unit is designed to project industry standardized video
such as VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) or
VGA (Video Graphics Array). Notebook computers do not
use industry standards. They use whatever timing is
necessary to match their local LCD display. The end result
is typically not standard. By turning off your notebooks
display, the timing parameters are a bit more like the real
VESA or VGA signal.
Receiving Video Output from Personal
Computers
When a notebook type personal computer is connected for
use in projecting, a certain amount of knowledge is
necessary for cable connection, startup and the
succeeding operations. Please refer to the instruction
manual of your notebook type personal computer when
performing the following operations.
1. Make sure that this unit is receiving signals
from your notebook type personal computer.
The external signal may not be output even though the
LCD screen of the notebook type personal computer
indicates such output. Check by using the
INFORMATION menu displayed by this unit (page 24,
25).
If 0 kHz is displayed, there is no external output signal
from the personal computer.
2. If the notebook type personal computer is not
outputting the external signal, perform the
following operation.
For IBM PC/AT machines, press either the [Fn] key or
one of the [F1] - [F12] keys.
When displayed on the LCD display of a notebook type
personal computer and this unit at the same time, the projected
video may not be correct even the LCD display is normal. In
such case, turn off the notebook type personal computer
display and try using only the external output mode. (In some
cases, external output only can be set by performing step 2
above or by closing the LCD display.)

Adjusting the projected image from the computer
The unit selects the most suitable resolutions as shown in the “Timing Chart” below according to the incoming signals from the
COMPUTER input terminal. However, you may need manual adjustment depending on the computer. If you have any vertical
banding, noise, dot interference, or crosstalk on the projected picture, adjust the clock frequency with “CLOCK” then the clock
phase with “PHASE” (see page 28). You can also adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the image (see page 28).
When adjusting manually, you can choose to project the image at the original size of the incoming signal resolution (see page
31). (Normally, the image is enlarged or reduced to the most suitable size automatically.)

Guide to Effective Presentations
Electronic presentations are one of the most effective tools
presenters can use to persuade an audience. There are
several ways to enhance your presentation and maximize
your effectiveness. The following are guidelines to help you
create and deliver a dynamic presentation.
a. Types of Presentations
Computer Presentations
To present basic information such as graphs,
spreadsheets, documents and images, use word
processing and spreadsheet applications.
To convey more complex information and create more
dynamic presentations which allow you to control the
pace of your delivery, utilize software such as Astound
®
,
Freelance
®
, Persuasion
®
or PowerPoint
®
.
For high-end multimedia and interactive presentations,
use software such as Macromedia Director
®
.

companies.
Video Presentations
Use of video equipment, such as a VCR, DVD player and
laser disc player, can be effective for delivering
instructional or illustrative information that is difficult to
present.
Digital Cameras and Personal Digital Assistants
(PDAs)
For highly compact and portable presentations, still
cameras, digital video cameras, document cameras and
PDAs are ideal for transferring data without cumbersome
conversions.
Multimedia Presentations
You can integrate all of the above methods for a full
multimedia presentation including video, audio, computer
applications and World Wide Web information.
b. Creative Presentations
Oftentimes presenters do not take advantage of the many
subtle ways they can manipulate their electronic slides to
more effectively persuade the audience.
Color has a great effect on the audience during a
presentation. When used correctly and legibly, studies
show that background & foreground colors establish an
emotional tone for a presentation, help viewers understand
and retain information, and influence an audience to take a
desired course of action.
Color Considerations
Choose legible colors.
Text and graphics colors need sufficient contrast.
Use darker colors for the background since a lighter
background can create uncomfortable glare. (Yellow on
black creates an ideal contrast.)

Background colors can subconsciously affect the
audience:
Red—increases viewers’ pulse and breathing and
encourages risk taking but can also be associated with
financial loss.
Blue—has a calming and conservative affect on the
audience but can also create boredom among corporate
audiences that are often inundated with this background
color.
Green—stimulates interaction.
Black—conveys finality and certainty. Use it as a
transitional color between slides when moving from one
idea to another.
Foreground colors create a major impact on how well an
audience understands and remembers a message.
Use one or two bright colors for emphasis.
Highlight important messages.
The eye has a difficult time reading certain colored text
on certain colored backgrounds. For example, text and
background colors in red and green, and blue and black
make for difficult viewing.
Colorblind individuals may find it difficult to distinguish
between red and green, brown and green, and purple
and blue. Avoid using these colors together.
Fonts
One of the most common mistakes in any type of
presentation visual is the selection of type fonts that are
too small, too thin, or too difficult to read.
If you are not sure how well a given font will read on a
screen at various sizes, try this: Draw a 6˝ × 8˝ box on a
piece of paper and print out several lines of text inside
the box with your computer printer at 300 or 600 dpi
resolution. Vary the sizes of text to simulate headline,
body and text call-outs for any charts or graphs. Hold
the printout at arm’s length. This is how your text will look
on a 4´ (1.2 meters)-wide screen at 10´ (3 meters), on a
7.5´ (2.3 meters)-wide screen at 20´ (6.1 meters) and a
12´ (3.7 meters)-wide screen at 30´ (9.1 meters). If you
cannot read the text easily, you should put less copy on
your visuals or use larger typefaces.
Design your visuals so that they are visible by the viewer
in the last row.
Nothing will ruin your presentation faster than misspelled
words. Take the time to proofread and edit your work
before your visuals become a permanent part of your
presentation.
Mixed case text is easier to read than text which is
displayed in capital letters.
Another important attribute of fonts is whether any
particular face is serif or sans-serif. Serifs are small,
usually horizontal cross strokes that are added to the
end of a letter’s main strokes. Because of their ability to
coax the eye along the line of type, fonts with serifs are
generally acknowledged to be more readable.

c. Set-Up
When giving a presentation, you need to set the stage both
figuratively and literally for success. The way you set up a
presentation room will have a great impact on the
audience’s perception of you and your message. By
manipulating the placement and use of the following tools,
you will improve the impact of your presentation.
Lighting—Good lighting is an important component of a
successful presentation. You should strive to create an
unequal distribution of light. An audience should always
see as much of the presenter’s face as possible, so most of
the light should be focused on you. Because it is important
for you to be able to read the audience’s faces and body
language, some light should be shed upon them. However,
no light should shine on the screen.
Stage— When presenting on the same level surface that
your audience is on, most people can only see the top one-
third of your body. Therefore, it is recommended that when
giving a presentation to an audience of 25 or more, you
stand on a stage or platform. As more of your body is
visible, the easier it is to communicate with an audience.
Podiums—The best presenters avoid podiums because
they hide 75% of the body and restrict movement. However,
many people feel more comfortable with a podium to hold
their notes and hide their discomfort. If you must use a
podium, angle it at 45 degrees to the audience so that you
are not completely hidden.
Visuals—It is imperative that you make sure your visuals
are large enough and projected far enough for the
audience to see. Eight times the height of an image is the
optimal viewing distance to read 24 point type. The bottom
of a screen should be at least 6´ (1.8 meters) above the
floor.
Screen—The screen should always be in the center of the
room so that all audience members can see it. Because
people read from left to right, you should always stand to
the audience’s left when discussing visuals.
Seating—Arrange seating according to the dynamics of
your presentation. If the presentation is more than half-a-
day, use classroom style seating—a chair and a desk. If
you would like to encourage audience interaction, use
chevron seating, angling the chairs into a “V” shape. When
you have a very small audience, a “U” shaped arrangement
will increase interchange.

d. Rehearsing & Delivery
The best time to rehearse is the day or evening before,
not a couple of hours before, and the best place to
rehearse is in the actual room. Rehearsing a speech in a
small office is not the same as standing up in front of
100 people in a hotel ballroom or classroom.
Due to varying processor speeds of computers, practice
your slide transitions for proper timing.
Whenever possible, set up your equipment well in
advance to allow adequate time to resolve any
unexpected issues such as lighting, power, seating and
audio.
Thoroughly check every piece of equipment you bring
along. Make sure you have fresh batteries in your
remote controls and laptop computer. Fully charge your
computer’s battery before the presentation and connect
your AC adaptor for added safety.
Make sure you are completely familiar with the control
panel on your projector and remote controls.
If you are using a microphone, check it out before hand
and walk around to see where you might have problems
with feedback. Avoid standing in these problem areas
during your presentation.
e. Presentation Tips
Before beginning, visualize yourself delivering an
outstanding presentation.
Know your speech, memorizing at least the first three
minutes of your presentation will allow you to focus on
your rhythm and pacing.
Speak to early arrivals to help you build a rapport with
the audience and make you feel more comfortable.
Do not be overly dependent on your visuals by reciting
what your audience is already reading. Know your
material well enough to be able to deliver the
presentation with ease. Use your visuals to emphasize
keypoints.
Be sure to project your voice clearly and use eye
contact to maintain audience attention.
Do not wait until halfway through your presentation to get
your point across. If you wait and try to create a “build-
up”, you may lose some of your audience along the way.
Keep your audience’s attention. As most people only
focus for 15 to 20 minutes during a one-hour
presentation, it is important to recapture their attention
periodically. Use phrases like, “This is critical to my
point” or “This is absolutely fundamental” to remind them
you are saying something they need to hear.
