rules for its installation, use and servicing.
Introduction
-9
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 “Re-
placing the Lamp” on page 96.
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.
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 posi-
tion, make certain it is carefully secured to
avoid personal injury caused by the projec-
tor falling down.
Do not subject the projector to hard im-
pact and/or vibration.
■ Take 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. Take regular
breaks to 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).
9°
-10
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 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 94 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.
• Even if you unplug the power cord after
projector operation, the cooling fan con-
tinues to run for a while. When you place
the projector into the storage case, make
sure that the cooling fan has stopped.
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 94 and 95.). 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, take care 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, 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.
■ When storing the projector, ensure you at-
tach 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

Caution
• 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
and 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 il-
lustration.
Note
• The signal from the remote control can be re-
flected off a screen for easy operation. How-
ever, the effective distance of the signal may
differ depending on the screen material.
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 pro-
jector away from the fluorescent lamp.

Setting Up the Projector
For optimal image quality, position the projector perpendicular to the screen with the projector’s feet flat
and level. Doing so will eliminate the need for Keystone correction and provide the best image quality.
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 MANUAL” 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.).
• AN-NV6T ceiling-mount bracket, its AN-TK201 and AN-TK202
extension tubes (for countries other than the U.S.A.).

Info
•
When “Audio Out” has been set to “VAO”, first make
sure to lower the volume of the projector before turn-
ing the power on or off and when switching the input.
Note
When the projector is connected to audio equip-
ment:
•
It is recommended that “FAO” be selected on “Audio
Out”. Because the audio signal from the audio equip-
ment does not vary in strength with the volume level
of the projector, you can enjoy better sound.
•
When “FAO” be selected on “Audio Out”, video and
audio may not synchronize.
- When connecting audio equipment that has a func-
tion for adjusting audio delay time, adjust the de-
lay time for synchronizing video and audio.
- When the audio equipment does not have such a
function and the unsynchronized video and audio
bothers you, select “VAO” on “Audio Out”. Select-
ing “VAO” synchronizes video and audio automati-
cally.

■ Ensure the power cord is unplugged before clean-
ing 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,
be careful not to scrape or hit the lens.

Maintenance Indicators
■ The warning lights on the projector indicate problems inside the projector.
■ If a problem occurs, either the temperature warning indicator or the lamp indicator will illuminate
red, and the projector will enter the standby mode. After the projector has entered the standby
mode, follow the procedures given below.
About the temperature warning indicator
If the temperature inside the projector increases, due to blockage of the air vents, or the setting location,
“ ” will illuminate in the lower left corner of the picture. If the temperature keeps on rising, the lamp will
turn off and the temperature warning indicator will blink, the cooling fan will run for a further 90 seconds, and
then the projector will enter the standby mode. After “
” appears, ensure you perform the measures
described on page 95.
About the lamp indicator
“Change The Lamp. (LAMP 2)” is displayed when the remain-
ing life of the lamp 2 becomes 5% or less.
■ When the remaining lamp life becomes 5% or less, “ ” (yellow) and “Change The Lamp. (LAMP 1/2)”
will be displayed on the screen.
■ When the percentage becomes 0%, it will change to “
” (red), the lamp will automatically turn off. At
this time, the lamp indicator will illuminate in red.
If you try to turn on the projector a fourth time without replacing the lamp, the lamp whose life is 0%
will not light up.

and then try turning the power back on. Wait until the projector has cooled down completely before plugging
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 illuminate 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 controlled
automatically. The sound of the cooling fan may change during operation because the fan speed may
change and this is not a malfunction.

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.

Glossary
Advanced intelligent compression (Page 100)
High quality resizing of lower and higher resolu-
tion images to fit the projector’s native resolution.
Aspect ratio (Page 48)
Width and height ratio of an image. The normal
aspect ratio of a computer and video image is 4:3.
There are also wide images with an aspect ratio
of 16:9 and 21:9.
Auto Sync (Page 70)
Optimizes projected computer images by auto-
matically adjusting certain characteristics.
Background (Page 77)
Initial setting image projected when no signal is
being output.
Border (Page 48)
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 displays
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 48)
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.
