Ensure that you read the following safeguards when  
setting up your projector.  
Caution concerning the lamp unit  
Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp rup-  
tures. In case of lamp rupture, contact your  
nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer  
or Service Center for replacement. See  
“Regarding the Lamp” on page 71.  
The projector may be safely tilted to a  
maximum angle of 9 degrees.  
Placement should be within 9 degrees of  
horizontal.  
If you have application requiring tilt angle  
exceeding 9 degrees, please check with your  
local Sharp sales office.  
When using the projector in high-altitude  
areas such as mountains (at altitudes of  
approximately 1,500 meters (4,900 feet)  
or more)  
When you use the projector in high-altitude  
areas with thin air, set “Fan Mode” to “High”.  
Neglecting this can affect the longevity of the  
optical system.  
Caution concerning the setup of the pro-  
jector  
For minimal servicing and to maintain high  
image quality, SHARP recommends that this  
projector be installed in an area free from hu-  
midity, dust and cigarette smoke. When the  
projector is subjected to these environments,  
the vents and lens must be cleaned more  
often. As long as the projector is regularly  
cleaned, use in these environments 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.  
Warning about placing the projector in a  
high position  
When placing the projector in a high posi-  
tion, make certain it is carefully secured to  
avoid personal injury caused by the projec-  
tor falling down.  
Do not set up the projector in places ex-  
posed to direct sunlight or bright light.  
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.  
Do not subject the projector to hard im-  
pact and/or vibration.  
Take care with the lens so as not to hit or  
damage the surface of the lens.  
Rest your eyes occasionally.  
Continuously watching the screen for long  
hours will cause eye strain. Take regular  
breaks to rest your eyes.  
Avoid locations with extremes of tem-  
perature.  
The operating temperature of the projector  
is from 41°F to 104°F (+5°C to +40°C).  
The storage temperature of the projector is  
from –4°F to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C).

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
Do not block the intake and exhaust  
vents.  
Using the projector in other countries  
The power supply voltage and the shape of  
the plug may vary depending on the region  
or country you are using the projector in.  
When using the projector overseas, make  
sure you use an appropriate power cord for  
the country you are in.  
Allow at least 11 13/16 inches (30 cm) of space  
between the exhaust vent and the nearest  
wall or obstruction.  
Set up the projector where air will not stay  
near its exhaust vent. In order to avoid allow-  
ing the heat from the exhaust vent to enter  
the intake vent area, leave at least more than  
11 13/16 inches (30 cm) of space between the  
intake vent and the surrounding walls or ob-  
jects.  
Temperature monitor function  
If the projector starts to over-  
heat due to setup problems or  
blockage of the air vents, “  
If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a pro-  
tection circuit will automatically put the pro-  
jector into standby mode to prevent overheat  
damage. This does not indicate a malfunc-  
tion (See pages 69 and 70.).Remove the pro-  
jector power cord from the wall outlet and wait  
at least 10 minutes.Place the projector where  
the intake and exhaust vents are not blocked,  
plug the power cord back in and turn on the  
projector. This will return the projector to the  
normal operating condition.  
and “ ” will illuminate in  
the lower left corner of the picture. If the tem-  
perature continues to rise, the lamp will turn off,  
the temperature warning indicator on the pro-  
jector will blink, and after a 90-second cooling-  
off period the projector will enter the standby  
mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on  
page 69 for details.  
Info  
The cooling fan regulates the internal tem-  
perature, and its performance is automati-  
cally controlled.The sound of the fan may  
change during projector operation due to  
changes in the fan speed. This does not  
indicate malfunction.  
Even if you unplug the power cord after  
projector operation, the cooling fan con-  
tinues to run for a while. When you place  
the projector into the storage case, make  
sure that the cooling fan has stopped.  
Caution regarding usage of the projector  
When using the projector, take care not to subject  
it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this can result  
in damage.Take extra care with the lens. If you are  
not to use the projector for a long time, make cer-  
tain you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet,  
and disconnect any other cables connected to it.  
Do not carry the projector by holding the lens.  
When storing the projector, ensure you at-  
tach the lens cap or dustproof cap to the pro-  
jector. (See page 13.)  
Do not expose the projector to direct sunlight  
or near heat sources. The projector may  
change color or become deformed.  
Optional lens installation  
For installing an optional lens, refer to “At-  
taching the Optional Lens” on page 77 or the  
lens installation manual (supplied with the  
optional lens).  
Other connected equipment  
When connecting a computer or other audio-  
visual equipment to the projector, make the  
connections AFTER unplugging the power  
cord of the projector from the AC outlet and  
turning off the equipment to be connected.  
Please read the operation manuals of the pro-  
jector and the equipment to be connected for  
instructions on how to make the connections.  
Remove the optional lens when carrying the  
projector. Carrying the projector with an op-  
tional lens attached can cause the projector  
to be damaged by vibration or other factors.

Setting Up the Projector  
Setting Up the Projector  
For optimal image quality, position the projector perpendicular to the screen with the projector’s feet flat  
and level. Doing so will eliminate the need for Keystone correction and provide the best image quality.  
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 projector in a sunny or bright room.  
Standard Setup (Front Projection)  
Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size. (For  
details, refer to “SETUP MANUALcontained on the supplied CD-ROM.)

The HD/C sync and VD terminals may be used depending on the specifications of the DTV decoder  
connected to this projector. Please refer to the operation manual of the DTV decoder for details.  
The HD/C sync terminal of the 5 BNC terminal is only for TTL signal.  
Select “480P” or “576P” for “Resolution” on the “Fine Sync” menu, if necessary. (See page 53.)  
While the projector is connected to video equipment that has an HDMI output terminal, only the video  
signal can be input to the projector. (Connect the AUDIO input terminal for audio input.)  
Depending on specifications of video equipment or HDMI to DVI digital cable, the signal transmission  
may not work property. (The HDMI specification does not support all connections to video equipment that  
has HDMI digital output terminal using HDMI to DVI digital cable.)  
For details on compatibility for connection, see support information on DVI connection provided by the  
video equipment manufacturer.  
When you connect video equipment with a 21-pin RGB output (Euro-scart) to the projector, use a com-  
mercially available cable that fits in the projector terminal you want to connect.

Video signal for monitor output is analog RGB signal as well as component signal (COMPUTER1/2). DVI  
and HDMI input video signals would not be output.  
When the audio from HDMI input is directed to the MONITOR OUT (AUDIO) terminal, output will be  
generated as Linear PCM audio.  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a digital AV interface that can deliver a high-definition  
video signal, multi-channel audio signal, and bi-directional control signal all in just one cable.  
Because it is compatible with the HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) system, the digital  
video signal does not degrade when transmitted, and a high-quality image with a simple connection can  
be enjoyed.  
The HDMI terminal does not support the CEC signal.  
This projector is able to process the following signals when connected to HDMI  
equipment:

Maintenance  
Cleaning the projector  
Cleaning the air vents and the intake vent cover  
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean dust from the ex-  
haust vent, the intake vents and the intake vent cover  
(on the bottom of the projector).  
Ensure the power cord is unplugged before clean-  
ing the projector.  
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.  
Do not use volatile agents such as insecticides on  
the projector.  
Do not attach rubber or plastic items to the projec-  
tor for long periods.  
The effects of some of the agents in the plastic may  
cause damage to the quality or finish of the projector.  
Info  
If you want to clean the air vents and the intake  
vent cover during projector operation, ensure  
you press STANDBY on the projector or on the  
remote control and put the projector into standby  
mode. After the cooling fan has stopped, un-  
plug the power cord from the AC socket and

Mild detergent  
diluted with water  
Thinner  
Wax  
Wipe off dirt gently with a soft flannel cloth.  
When the dirt is hard to remove, soak a cloth in a  
mild detergent diluted with water, wring the cloth  
well and then wipe the projector.  
Strong cleaning detergents may discolor, warp or  
damage the coating on the projector. Make sure to  
test on a small, inconspicuous area on the projec-  
tor before use.  
Cleaning the lens  
Use a commercially available blower or lens clean-  
ing paper (for glasses and camera lenses) for clean-  
ing the lens. Do not use any liquid type cleaning  
agents, as they may wear off the coating film on the  
surface of the lens.  
As the surface of the lens can easily get damaged,  
be careful not to scrape or hit the lens.

Info  
If the temperature warning indicator blinks and the projector enters the standby mode, the temperature  
warning indicator starts to illuminate. Check whether any of the ventilation holes are blocked (see page 10)  
and then try turning the power back on.Wait until the projector has cooled down completely before plugging  
in the power cord and turning the power back on. (At least 10 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.  
The cooling fan keeps the internal temperature 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.

Hg LAMP CONTAINS MERCURY For State Lamp Disposal Information  
U.S.A. ONLY  
Caution Concerning the Lamp  
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.  
When the lamp 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.  
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.  
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 assure safe operation.  
Replacing the Lamp  
Caution  
Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use.The lamp will be very hot and may cause 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.  
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.  
* If the new lamp does not illuminate after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorized  
Projector Dealer or Service Center for repair.

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 COMPUTER 1/2 with “Signal Type” set to “Auto” or  
“RGB”, the image may not be projected as desired. In this case, select either VIDEO or S-VIDEO.  
When “Screen resolution” of the computer is different from the resolution displayed on the projected  
image, follow the procedures shown below.  
–Refer to “Setting the Resolution” on page 53 and select the same resolution as the resolution in “Screen  
resolution” of the computer.  
–Depending on the computer you are using, the output signal may not be faithful to the “Screen resolu-  
tion” adjustment. Check the settings of the computer’s signal output. If the settings cannot be changed,  
it is recommended that the resolution be set to the one that corresponds to “True” in the “Display”  
column.
