Observe the following safeguards when setting up your
projector.
Caution concerning the lamp unit
■ Potential hazard of glass par-
ticles if lamp ruptures. In
case of lamp rupture, contact
your nearest Sharp Autho-
rized Projector Dealer or Ser-
vice Center for replacement.
See “Replacing the Lamp” on
page 55.
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
humidity, dust and cigarette smoke. When the
projector is subjected to these environments,
the vents and lens must be cleaned more of-
ten. 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.
Caution regarding placing of the projec-
tor
■ Place the projector on a level site within the
adjustment range (8 degrees) of the adjust-
ment 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 projec-
tor 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.
Warning about placing the projector in
a high position
■ When placing the projector in a high position,
ensure that it is secured carefully to avoid per-
sonal injury caused by the projector falling
down.
Do not subject the projector to hard im-
pact and/or vibration.
■ Protect 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. Be sure to occa-
sionally rest your eyes.
Avoid locations with extremes of tem-
perature.
■ 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.
■ Be sure that the intake vent 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 53 and 54.) 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.
XG-MB67X_EN2_CD_b 06.5.12, 6:39 AM8

Introduction
■ When turning off the projector, the cooling fan
runs to decrease the internal temperature for
a while. Unplug the power cord after the cool-
ing fan stops. The period the cooling fan runs
will vary, depending on the circumstances and
the internal temperature.
Caution regarding usage of the projector
■ When using the projector, be sure not to sub-
ject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this
can result in damage. Take extra care with
the lens. Before moving the projector, be sure
to 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.
■ When storing the projector, re-attach the lens
cap. (See page 12).
■ 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 pro-
jector and the equipment to be connected for
instructions on how to make the connections.
Info
• The cooling fan regulates the internal tem-
perature, 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 malfunc-
tion.
• Do not unplug the power cord during projec-
tion or cooling fan operation. This can cause
damage due to rise in internal temperature,
as the cooling fan also stops.
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, be sure
to use an appropriate power cord for the coun-
try you are in.
Temperature monitor function
■
If the projector starts to overheat due to setup
problems or blockage of the air vents, “ ” and
“ ” will illuminate in the lower left corner
of the picture. If the temperature continues to
rise, the lamp will turn off, the temperature warn-
ing indicator on the projector will blink, and after
a 90-second cooling-off period the projector will
enter standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance In-
dicators” on page 53 for details.

Introduction
• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
• 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 that you first wipe them 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.
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please
follow the precautions below.
Inserting the Batteries
Attach the cover and slide it until it clicks into place.
Insert the batteries.
• Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match
the m and n marks inside the battery compartment.
Press the P mark on the cover and slide it in the
direction of the arrow.

Correcting Trapezoidal
Distortion
When the image is projected either from
the top or from the bottom towards the
screen at an angle, the image becomes
distorted trapezoidally. The function for
correcting trapezoidal distortion is
called Keystone Correction.
• The Keystone Correction can be adjusted up
to an angle of approximately ±13 degrees and
the screen can also be set up to an angle of
approximately ±13 degrees (when the resize
mode is set to “NORMAL” (see page 34)).

Cleaning the lens
■ Use a commercially available blower or lens
cleaning paper (for glasses and camera lenses)
for cleaning 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, be sure not to scrape or hit the lens.
Cleaning the exhaust and intake vents
■ Use a vacuum cleaner to clean dust from the
exhaust vent and the intake vent.
Cleaning the projector
■ Ensure that you have unplugged the power
cord 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
projector 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 projector before use.
Maintenance

• If you want to clean the air vents during pro-
jector operation, be sure to press

ging in the power cord and turning the power back on. (At least 10 minutes.)
• If the power is turned off for a brief moment due to power outage or some other cause while using
the projector, and the power supply recovers immediately after that, the lamp indicator will illumi-
nate in red and the lamp may not be lit. In this case, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet,
replace the power cord in the AC outlet and then turn the power on again.
• The cooling fan keeps the internal temperature of the projector constant and this function is con-
trolled automatically. The sound of the cooling fan may change during operation because the fan
speed may change and this is not a malfunction.
• Do not unplug the power cord after the projector has entered standby mode and while the cooling
fan is running. The cooling fan runs for about 90 seconds.

Appendix
Regarding the Lamp
Lamp
■ It is recommended that the lamp (sold separately) be replaced when the remaining lamp life becomes
5% or less, or when you notice a significant deterioration in the picture and color quality. The lamp life
(percentage) can be checked with the on-screen display. (see page 47)
■ Purchase a replacement lamp of type AN-XR20LP from your place of purchase, nearest Sharp
Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center.
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 burn or injury.
■ 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 light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorized
Projector Dealer or Service Center for repair.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO U.S. CUSTOMERS:
The lamp included with this projector is backed by a 90-day parts and labor limited
warranty. All service of this projector under warranty, including lamp replacement,
must be obtained through a Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center.
For the name of the nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center,
