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.

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.
Using the projector in other countries

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 Indicators” on 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.

I Allow at least 7 /8 inches (20 cm) of space between
the exhaust vent and the nearest wall or obstruction.
I Be sure that the intake vent and the exhaust vent are
not obstructed.

and slide it in the direction of the
arrow.
2 Insert the batteries.
• Insert the batteries making sure the po-
larities correctly match the

puter, select “sRGB” and 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.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)
I Place the projector at the required distance from
the screen according to the desired picture size.

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.

Glossary
Anti-Theft
Lens shift
If the “Keycode” set 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-Theft” setting.
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 “sRGB” is 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 projector’s 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.
