Cautions regarding the transportation of the pro-

Cautions concerning the setup of the projector
I For minimal servicing and to maintain high image qual-
ity, 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 lens and part of filter must be cleaned more often
than usual. As long as the projector is properly main-
tained in this manner, use in these environments will
not reduce the overall operation life. Please note that
all internal cleaning must be performed by a Sharp
Authorized Service Center or Dealer.
I When transporting the projector, be sure not to subject
it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this can result in
damage. Take extra caution with the lens. Before mov-
ing the projector, be sure to unplug the power cord from
the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables con-
nected to it.
Other connected equipment
I When connecting other audio-visual equipment or a
computer to the projector, make the connections AF-
TER turning off the projector and the equipment to be
connected.

Info
• If the temperature warning indicator illuminates, and the projector enters the standby mode, follow the pos-
sible solutions on the previous page and then wait until the projector has cooled down completely before
plugging in the power cord and turning the power back on. (At least 5 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.
• If you want to clean the air vents during projector operation, be sure to put the projector into the standby
mode. After the cooling fan has stopped, clean the vents.
• The cooling fan keeps the internal temperatures 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.
• Do not unplug the power cord after the projector has entered the standby mode and while the cooling fan is
running. The cooling fan runs for about 90 seconds.
Regarding the Lamp
Lamp
I It is recommended that the lamp (sold separately) be replaced when the remaining lamp life be-
comes 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 51.
I For lamp replacement, please consult your nearest Sharp Authorized Service Center or Dealer.
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 Autho-
rized Service Center or Dealer. For the name of the nearest Sharp Authorized Service Center or Dealer,
please call toll-free: 1-800-BE-SHARP (1-800-237-4277).
U.S.A. ONLY
Caution Concerning the Lamp
I 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.
I 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.
I Should the lamp break, the glass particles may spread inside the lamp unit 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.
I 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 Service
Center or Dealer to remove the damaged lamp and assure safe operation.
Replacing the Lamp
Caution
• Do not remove the lamp unit immediately after operation of the projector. The lamp will be hot and touching
it can lead to 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.
I If the new lamp does not light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Autho-
rized Service Center or Dealer for repair. Purchase a replacement lamp unit of type BQC-XVZ200++1
from your nearest Sharp Authorized Service Center or Dealer. Then 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 Service Center or Dealer.

This SHARP projector uses a DMD chip. This very
sophisticated chip contains 589,824 pixels. As with any high
technology electronic equipment such as large screen TVs,
video systems and video cameras, there are certain
acceptable tolerances that the equipment must conform to.
This unit has some inactive pixels within acceptable
tolerances which may result in 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).

Glossary
Aspect Ratio
Gamma
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.
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 from four differ-
ent modes: Standard, Cinema 1, Cinema 2 and
Cinema 3.
Auto Sync
Optimizes projected computer images by auto-
matically adjusting certain characteristics.
Intelligent compression and expansion
High quality resizing of lower and higher resolu-
tion images to fit the projector’s native resolution.
Background
Initial setting image projected when no signal is
being output.
Phase
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.
Clock
Clock adjustment is used to adjust vertical noise
when clock level is incorrect.
CLR Temp (Color temperature)
Resize
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.
Allows you to modify or customize the picture dis-
play mode to enhance the input image. You can
select from four different modes: SIDE BAR,
SMART STRETCH, CINEMA ZOOM and
STRETCH.
Stretch
Composite sync
Mode that stretches the 4:3 image horizontally to
display it on the wide screen.
Signal combining horizontal and vertical sync
pulses.
Sync on green
Digital keystone correction
Video signal mode of a computer which overlaps
horizontal and vertical sync signal to green color
signal pin.
Function to digitally correct a distorted image when
the projector is set up at an angle, smoothes out
jaggies on keystone images and compresses the
image not only horizontally but vertically keeping
the 16 : 9 aspect ratio.
DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
Display digital interface that also supports analog
interfaces.
