Observe the following safeguards when setting up your projector.
Caution concerning the lamp unit
■ Potential hazard of glass particles
if lamp ruptures. In case of lamp
rupture, contact your nearest Sharp
Authorized Projector Dealer or Service
Center for replacement.
Warning about placing the projector in a high
position
■ When placing the projector in a high position, make cer-
tain it is carefully secure to avoid personal injury caused
by the projector falling down.
See “Regarding the Lamp” on page
50.
Do not subject the projector to hard impact
and/or vibration.
■ Protect the lens so as not to hit or damage the surface
Caution concerning the setup of the projector
■ For minimal servicing and to maintain high image quality,
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 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.
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 temperature.
■ The operating temperature of the projector is from 41°F
to 95°F (+5°C to +35°C).
■ The storage temperature of the projector is from –4°F
to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C).
Do not set up the projector in places exposed 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 block the exhaust and intake vents.
■ Allow at least 1113/16 inches (30 cm) of space between
the exhaust vent and the nearest wall or obstruction.
■ Ensure that the intake vent and the exhaust vent are not
obstructed.
■ If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection
circuit will automatically put the projector into standby
mode to prevent overheat damage. This does not indi-
cate a malfunction. (See page 48.) Remove the projector
power cord from the wall outlet and wait at least 10 min-
utes. 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.
Caution regarding placing of the projector
■ Place the projector on a level site within the adjustment
range (9 degrees) of the adjustment foot.
Caution regarding usage of the projector
■ If you are not to use the projector for a long time or
before moving the projector, make certain you unplug
the power cord from the wall outlet, and disconnect any
other cables connected to it.
■ After the projector is purchased, a faint smell from the
vent may appear when the power is first turned on. This
is normal and is not a malfunction. It will disappear after
the projector is used for a while.
■ Do not carry the projector by holding the lens.
■ When storing the projector, ensure that you close the
lens shutter.
■ Do not expose the projector to direct sunlight or place
next to heat sources. Doing so may affect the cabinet
color or cause deformation of the plastic cover.
When using the projector in high-altitude areas
such as mountains (at altitudes of approximate-
ly 4,900 feet (1,500 meters) 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.

Other connected equipment
Info
■ 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 projector and
the equipment to be connected for instructions on how
to make the connections.
• 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.
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.
Temperature monitor function
■ If the temperature inside the projector increases, due
to blockage of the air vents, or the setting location,
the temperature warning indicator will blink. And if the
temperature keeps on rising, “
” will illuminate in
the lower left corner of the picture with the temperature
warning indicator blinking. If this state continues, the
lamp will turn off, the cooling fan will run and then the
projector will enter standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance
Indicators” on pages 48 and 49 for details.

• 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 ensure you wipe them first 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.
• Comply with the rules (ordinance) of each local government when disposing of worn-out batteries.

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.
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)
■ Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size.

Connecting to Video Equipment
Before connecting, be sure to unplug the power cord of the projector from the AC outlet and turn off the devices
to be connected. After making all connections, turn on the projector and then the other devices.
Connecting Equipment with HDMI Output Terminal to the HDMI Terminal on the Projector
HDMI is a new specialized interface capable of delivering a video and audio signal to the terminal using just one cable.
Since this projector does not support an audio signal by itself, use an amplifier or other audio device.
For video connection, use a cable that conforms to HDMI standards. Using cables that do not conform to HDMI
standards may result in a malfunction.

Note
•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.

Maintenance
Cleaning the lens
Cleaning the projector
■ Ensure that you have unplugged the power cord
before cleaning 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.
■ 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 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.
■ 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.
■ 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 exhaust and intake vents
■ Use a vacuum cleaner to clean dust from the
exhaust vent and the intake vent.

About the temperature warning indicator
If the temperature inside the projector increases, due to blockage of the air vents, or the setting
location, the temperature warning indicator will blink. And if the temperature keeps on rising,
“
” will illuminate in the lower left corner of the picture with the temperature warning indicator blinking.
If this state continues, the lamp will turn off, the cooling fan will run and then the projector will enter
standby mode. When you find the temperature warning indicator blinking, be sure to perform the measures
described on page 49.
About the lamp indicator
■ When the remaining lamp life becomes 5% or less, (yellow) and “Change The Lamp” will be displayed on
the screen. When the percentage becomes 0%, it will change to (red), the lamp will automatically turn off
and then the projector will automatically enter standby mode. At this time, the lamp indicator will illuminate
in red.
■ If you try to turn on the projector a fourth time without replacing the lamp, the projector will not
turn on.

Info
• If the temperature warning indicator illuminates, and the projector enters standby mode, follow the pos-
sible solutions above and then 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.

Regarding the Lamp
Lamp
■ It is recommended that the lamp (sold separately) be replaced when the remaining lamp life becomes
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 46.)
■ Purchase a replacement lamp of type AN-K15LP from your place of purchase, nearest Sharp Autho-
rized 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).
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 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.
■ Should the lamp break, there is also a possibility that glass particles may spread inside of the projec-
tor. In such a case, it is recommended you contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer
or Service Center to assure safe operation.
■ 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 mer-
cury, 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.
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 burns
or injury.

RS-232C Specifications and Commands
Computer control
A computer can be used to control the projector by connecting an RS-232C cable (null modem, cross type,
commercially available) to the projector. (See page 21 for connection.)
Communication conditions
Set the serial port settings of the computer as follows.
Signal format: Conforms to RS-232C standard.
Baud rate*: 9,600 bps / 38,400bps / 115,200bps
Data length: 8 bits
Parity bit: None
Stop bit: 1 bit
Flow control: None
*Use the same settings for the projector and computer.
Basic format
Send commands from the computer in the following order: command, parameter, and return code. After
processing the command from the computer, the projector sends a response code to the computer.
Command format
C1 C2 C3 C4 P1 P2 P3 P4
Return code (0DH)
Command 4-digit
Parameter 4-digit
Response code format
Normal response
Problem response (communication error or incorrect command)

Return code (0DH)
Return code (0DH)
Info
• If you are controlling the projector from a computer using RS-232C commands, wait at least 30 seconds
after turning the projector on before sending any commands.
• When more than one code is being sent, send each command only after the response code for the previ-
ous command from the projector is verified.
• When using the computer control function of the projector, the projector’s operating status cannot be read
by the computer. Therefore, confirm the status by transmitting the display commands for each adjustment
menu and checking the status with the on-screen display. If the projector receives a command other than a
menu display command, it will execute the command without displaying the on-screen display.

Example: To turn on the projector
