SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 13A fuse. Should
the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked
above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.
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.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

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.

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)

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

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.

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.

• When returning the projector to its origi-
nal position, hold the projector firmly, press
the foot releases and then lower it.

mately 5.5 degrees from the standard po-
sition.
Info
• Do not press the foot releases when the
feet are extended without firmly holding

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.

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.

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.
