Caution regarding transportation of the projector  
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 care with the lens. Before moving  
the projector, be sure to unplug the power cord from  
the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables con-  
nected to it.  
I Do not carry the projector by holding the lens.  
I When transporting the projector, be sure to attach the  
lens shipping block and the lens cap to the projector.  
Caution 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 must be cleaned more often. As long as the  
projector is regularly cleaned, use in these environ-  
ments 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.

direct sunlight or bright light.  
I 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 cur-  
tains 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 12 degrees.  
I Placement should be within 12 degrees of horizontal.

lamp will turn off, the temperature warning indicator on  
the projector will blink, and after a 90-second cooling-off  
period the projector will enter the standby mode. Refer to  
Maintenance Indicatorson page 63 for details.  
Rest your eyes occasionally.  
I Continuously watching the screen for long hours will  
cause eye strain. Be sure to occasionally rest your eyes.  
Avoid locations with extremes of temperature.  
I The operating temperature of the projector is from 41°F  
to 95°F (+5°C to +35°C).  
Info  
The cooling fan regulates the internal temperature, 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  
malfunction.  
Do not unplug the power cord during projection or cool-  
ing fan operation. This can cause damage due to rise  
in internal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.  
I 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.

Inserting the Batteries  
The batteries (two R-6 batteries (AAsize,  
UM/SUM-3, HP-7 or similar)) are supplied in  
the package.  
1 Press the L mark on the cover  
and slide it in the direction of the  
arrow.  
2 Insert the batteries.  
Insert the batteries making sure the po-  
larities correctly match the  
and  
marks inside the battery compartment.  
3 Attach the cover and slide it un-  
til it clicks into place.  
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please follow the precautions below.  
Caution  
Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the  
and  
marks inside the battery compart-  
ment.  
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 be sure to 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.

scenes, such as a film or concert, or when you are  
displaying images in a bright room, this feature  
makes the dark scenes easier to see and gives the

tint based on an original image from the com-  
puter, select sRGBand set it to “ ” (ON).

Setting up the Screen  
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image.  
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 screen in a sunny or bright room.  
A polarizing screen cannot be used with this projector.

Maintenance Indicators  
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 41.  
I For lamp replacement, please consult your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service  
Center.  
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 Projector Dealer or Service Center. For the name of the nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer  
or Service Center, please call toll-free: 1-888-GO-SHARP (1-888-467-4277).  
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 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.  
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 Projector  
Dealer or Service Center 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 Projector Dealer or Service Center for repair. Purchase a replacement lamp unit of type BQC-  
PGB10S//1 from your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center. 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 Projector Dealer or Service Center.

Note  
This projector may not be able to display images from notebook computers in simultaneous (CRT/LCD)  
mode. Should this occur, turn off the LCD display on the notebook computer and output the display data in  
“CRT only” mode. Details on how to change display modes can be found in your notebook computer’s  
operation manual.  
When this projector receives 640 × 350 VESA format VGA signals, “640 × 400” appears on the screen.  
When projecting the RGB interlace signal using INPUT 1 with “Signal Type” set to “Auto” or “RGB”, the  
image may not be projected as desired. In this case, select either INPUT 2 (S-Video) or INPUT 3 (Video).

Glossary  
Anti-Theft  
Lens shift  
If the Keycodeset in the projector is not correctly  
entered, the projector will not operate even if sig-  
nals are entered.  
Function to adjust the position of the projection  
image by using the lens shift lever to move the  
lens from side to side and up and down (360°).  
Aspect Ratio  
Password  
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.  
A password is set so that changes cannot be made  
in the Anti-Theftsetting.  
Phase  
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.  
Auto Sync  
Optimizes projected computer images by auto-  
matically adjusting certain characteristics.  
Background  
Resize  
Initial setting image projected when no signal is  
being output.  
Allows you to modify or customize the picture dis-  
play mode to enhance the input image. You can  
select four different modes: NORMAL, DOT BY  
DOT, BORDER and STRETCH.  
Border  
Projects a 4:3 image fully within a 16:9 screen by  
keeping the aspect ratio at 4:3.  
sRGB  
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 LCD features, so that the  
images are displayed in a natural tint based on  
an original image, when sRGBis set to ON.  
Clock  
Clock adjustment is used to adjust vertical noise  
when clock level is incorrect.  
CLR Temp (Color temperature)  
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.  
Stretch  
Mode that stretches the 4:3 image horizontally to  
display it fully on a 16:9 screen.  
Dot by dot  
Mode that projects images in their native resolution.  
Gamma  
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 GAME.  
Intelligent compression  
High quality resizing of lower and higher resolu-  
tion images to fit the projectors native resolution.  
Keylock  
Mode that can lock the operation of projector but-  
tons to prevent unauthorized adjustment.  
Keystone Correction  
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.
