or  
and of the same rating as  
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.  
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the  
mains plug and fit an appropriate type.  
DANGER:  
The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of  
in a safe manner.  
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious  
electric shock may occur.  
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:  
IMPORTANT:  
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:  
Blue: Neutral  
Brown: Live  
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings  
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:  
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.  
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.  
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug.  
Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:  
If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.  
The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires.

PRECAUCI  
N
PR CAUTION  
BQC-PGM20X//1  
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 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.  
Cautions regarding the transportation of the pro-  
jector  
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  
Do not set up the projector in places exposed to  
I When connecting a computer or other audio-visual  
equipment to the projector, make the connections AF-  
TER turning off the projector and the equipment to be  
connected.

the equipment to be connected for instructions on how  
to make the connections.

I Position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or

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.

surface of the lens.  
Rest your eyes occasionally.  
I Continuously watching the screen for long hours will  
make your eyes tired. Be sure to occasionally rest your  
eyes.  
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 create damage due to the  
rise in internal temperature, as the cooling fan also  
stops.  
Avoid locations with high or low temperature.  
I The operating temperature for the projector is from 41°F  
to 95°F (+5°C to +35°C)  
I The storage temperature for 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 11.8 inches (30 cm) of space between  
the exhaust vent and the nearest wall or obstruction.

Inserting the Batteries  
The batteries (two R-03 batteries (“AAA” size,  
UM/SUM-4, HP-16 or similar)) are included in  
the package.  
1 Slide the cover in the direction  
of the arrow to open it.  
2 Insert the included batteries.  
Insert the batteries making sure the  
polarities correctly match the  
and  
marks inside the battery compart-  
ment.  
3 Slide the cover in the direction  
of the arrow to close it.  
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 can cause them to leak.  
Battery fluid from leaked batteries is harmful to your skin, therefore be sure to first wipe them and then remove  
them using a cloth.  
The batteries included with this projector may be used up over 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.

Foot releases  
Adjustment feet  
Using the Adjustment  
Feet  
The height of the projector can be adjusted  
using the adjustment feet when the surface  
of the projector is placed on is uneven or when  
the screen is slanted.  
The projection of the image can be made  
higher by adjusting the projector when it is in  
a location lower than the screen.  
1 Press the foot releases.  
2 Lift the projector to adjust its  
height and remove your hands  
from the foot releases.  
3 Rotate the adjustment feet to  
make minor changes.  
Up  
Down  
Note  
When returning the projector to its origi-  
nal position, hold the projector firmly, press  
the foot releases and then lower it.  
The projector is adjustable up to approxi-  
mately 5.5 degrees from the standard po-  
sition.  
Info  
Do not press the foot releases when the  
feet are extended without firmly holding  
the projector.  
Do not hold the lens when lifting or lower-  
ing the projector.  
When lowering the projector, be careful not  
to get your fingers caught in the area be-  
tween the adjustment feet and the projector.

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 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. (See page 18.)  
Example of Standard Setup

The distance from the screen to the projec-  
tor may vary depending on the size of the  
screen.

Maintenance  
Cleaning the projector  
I Be sure to unplug the power cord before clean-  
ing the projector.  
I 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.  
I Do not use volatile agents such as insecticides  
on the projector.  
Cleaning the lens  
I 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 coat-  
ing film on the surface of the lens.  
I As the surface of the lens can easily get dam-  
aged, be sure not to scrape or hit the lens.  
Do not attach rubber or plastic items on the pro-  
jector for long time.  
The effects of some of the agents in the plastic  
may cause damage to the quality or finish of the  
projector.

Regarding the Lamp  
Lamp  
I It is recommended that the lamp (sold separately) be replaced after approximately 1,900 cumulative  
hours of use or when you notice a significant deterioration of the picture and color quality.The lamp  
usage time can be checked with the on-screen display. See page 58.  
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 or flash, 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 with 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-  
PGM20X//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.

This SHARP projector uses a DMD panel.This very sophis-  
ticated panel contains 786,432 pixels.As with any high tech-  
nology electronic equipment such as large screenTVs, video  
systems and video cameras, there are certain acceptable  
tolerances that the equipment must conform to.  
This unit has some inactive pixels within acceptable toler-  
ances which may result in inactive dots on the picture screen.  
This will not affect the picture quality or the life expectancy  
of the unit.  
Specifications are subject to change without notice.

Glossary  
Advanced intelligent compression  
Keystone correction  
High quality resizing of lower and higher resolu-  
tion images to fit the projectors native resolution.  
Function to digitally correct a distorted image when  
the projector is set up at an angle, smoothens out  
jaggies on keystone images and compresses the  
image not only horizontally but vertically keeping  
the 4:3 aspect ratio.  
Anti-theft  
In case the projector is stolen, this function dis-  
ables projection of images if the correct keycode  
is not entered.  
Password  
A password is set so that changes cannot be made  
in the settings of the Options (2)menu.  
Aspect Ratio  
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.  
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.  
Picture in Picture  
Allows you to add video images onto a data screen  
image, providing you with even more effective pre-  
sentations.  
Background  
Initial setting image projected when no signal is  
being output.  
Progressive Mode  
Border  
The progressive display projects a smoother video  
image. You can select three different modes: 2D  
Progressive, 3D Progressive and Film Mode.  
Projects a 4:3 image fully within a 16:9 screen by  
keeping the aspect ratio at 4:3.  
Clock  
RESIZE  
Clock adjustment is used to adjust vertical noise  
when clock level is incorrect.  
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.  
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.  
Smart Stretch  
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.  
Digital Shift  
Shifts image up or down easily by  
,
but-  
sRGB  
tons when RESIZE mode of input image is BOR-  
DER, STRETCH or SMART STRETCH of the  
video or the DTV signals.  
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 switching to the sRGB”  
mode.  
Dot by dot  
Mode that projects images in their native resolution.  
DVI (Digital Visual Interface)  
Display digital interface that also supports Ana-  
log interfaces.  
Freeze  
Startup Image  
Temporarily freezes a moving image.  
The image displayed when the projector is turned  
on.  
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.  
Status function  
Displays the settings of each adjustment item.  
Stretch  
Mode that stretches the 4:3 image horizontally to  
display it fully on a 16:9 screen.  
Keylock Level  
Mode that can lock the operation of projector but-  
tons to prevent mischief.
