Important Safeguards  
ATTENTION: Please read all of these instructions before you operate your LCD Projector  
for the first time. Save these instructions for future reference.  
For your own protection and prolonged operation of your LCD Projector, be sure to read the following “Important  
Safeguards” carefully, before use.  
This projector has been engineered and manufactured to ensure your personal safety. But IMPROPER USE CAN  
RESULT IN POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARDS. In order not to defeat the safeguards  
incorporated into this LCD Projector, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.  
1. Unplug the LCD Projector from the wall outlet before  
cleaning.  
2. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a  
damp cloth for cleaning.  
3. Do not use attachments not recommended by the LCD  
Projector manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.  
4. Do not use the LCD Projector near water; for example,  
near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a  
wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc. Never spill  
liquid into the projector.  
5. Do not place the LCD Projector on an unstable cart, stand,  
or table. The LCD Projector may fall, which may cause  
serious injury to a child or an adult, and/or serious damage  
to the unit.  
17. Unplug the LCD Projector equipment from the wall outlet

b. If liquid has been spilled into the LCD Projector.  
c. If the LCD Projector has been exposed to rain or  
water.  
d. If the LCD Projector does not operate normally  
when you follow the operating instructions. Adjust  
only those controls that are covered by the oper-  
ating instructions, as improper adjustment of other  
controls may cause damage and will often require  
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore  
the LCD Projector to normal operation.  
6. Wall or Ceiling Mounting—The product should be  
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by  
the manufacturer.  
e. If the LCD Projector has been dropped or the

f. When the LCD Projector exhibits a distinct change  
in performance—this indicates a need for service.  
18. When replacement parts are required, be sure the ser-  
vice technician has used replacement parts specified by  
the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as  
the original parts. Unauthorised substitutions may result  
in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.  
7. LCD Projector equipment and cart  
combinations should be moved  
with care. Quick stops, excessive  
force, and uneven surfaces may  
cause the equipment and cart  
combination to overturn.  
8. Slots and openings in the cabinet back and bottom are  
provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of  
the LCD Projector and to protect it from overheating, these  
openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings  
should never be covered with cloth or other material.  
9. This LCD Projector should never be placed near or over  
a radiator or heating vent. The LCD Projector should not  
be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase  
unless proper ventilation is provided.  
19. This LCD Projector is provided with one of the following  
types of plugs. If the plug should fail to fit into the power  
outlet, please contact your electrician.

grounding terminal.  
This plug will only fit into a grounding type power  
outlet.  
10. The LCD Projector should be operated only from the type  
of power source indicated on the back of the projector or  
in the specifications. If you are not sure of the type of  
power supplied to your home, consult your LCD Projector  
dealer or local power company.  
11. Do not place the LCD Projector where the cord will be  
abused by persons walking on it.  
12. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the LCD  
Projector.  
13. To prevent damage to the projector due to lightning and

Usage Guidelines  
Caution Concerning the Lamp Unit  
Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp ruptures. Please have the nearest Sharp  
Authorised LCD Projector Dealer or Service Centre replace lamp if rupture occurs.  
See “Replacing the Projection Lamp” on pages 38 and 39.

Cautions Concerning the Setup of the Projector  
ם
35˚C  
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. If the projector is used in these environments, the lens and filter will need  
to be cleaned (or the filter replaced) more often, and internal cleaning may become  
necessary. 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 Authorised LCD Projector Dealer or Service Centre.  
• Do not expose the projector to extreme heat or cold.

Notes on Operation  
• The mark shown on the left calls the user’s attention to a part of the projector  
that emits intense heat during operation.  
• The exhaust vent, the lamp cage cover and adjacent areas may be extremely  
hot during projector operation. To prevent injury, do not touch these areas until  
they have sufficiently cooled.  
• Allow at least 10 cm of space between the cooling fan (exhaust vent) and the  
nearest wall or obstruction.  
• If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection device will automatically  
turn off the projector lamp. This does not indicate a malfunction. Remove the  
projector power cord from the wall outlet and wait at least 10 minutes. Then  
turn on the power by plugging the power cord back in. This will return the  
projector to the normal operating condition.  
Temperature Monitor Function  
If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems or a dirty air filter, “TEMP.”  
will appear in the lower-left corner of the picture. If the temperature continues to  
rise, the lamp will turn off, the TEMPERATURE WARNING indicator on the projector  
will flash, and after a 90-second cooling-off period the power will shut off. Refer  
to “Lamp/Maintenance Indicators” on page 37, for details.  
• 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.  
Lamp Monitor Function  
When the projector is turned on after the lamp has been used for 900 hours,  
“LAMP” will appear in the lower-left corner of the picture to advise you to replace  
the lamp. See pages 38 and 39 for lamp replacement. If the lamp has been used  
for 1,000 hours, the projector power will automatically turn off and the projector  
will enter standby mode. Refer to “Lamp/Maintenance Indicators” on page 37,  
for details.

Setting up the Screen  
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image.  
Move the projector forward or backward if the edges of the image are distorted.  
• The projector lens should be centred in the middle of the screen. If the lens centre is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be  
distorted, making viewing difficult.  
• Position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly onto the screen washes out colours, 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. (See the table

Setting up the Screen  
Using the Adjustment Feet  
You can adjust the height of the image by raising the projector with the  
foot releases.  
1 Press the foot releases and lift the projector to the desired angle.  
(Adjustable up to approximately 7° from the standard position.)  
2 Remove your hands from the foot releases. Once the adjustment  
feet have locked in position, release the projector.  
3 If the screen is at an angle, the adjusters can be used to adjust  
the angle of the image.  
Returning the projector to its original position  
While holding the projector, press the foot releases and slowly lower the projector  
to its original position.  
• When an adjustment is made, the image may become distorted (keystoned), depending  
on the relative positions of the projector and the screen.  
CAUTION  
• Do not press the foot releases when the adjustment feet are extended without firmly holding the projector.  
• Do not hold the lens when lifting or lowering the projector.  
• When lowering the projector, be careful not to get your fingers caught in the area between the adjustment feet and the  
projector.  
Reversed Image Setup  
Rear projection  
Projection using a mirror  
• Place a translucent screen between the projector and  
the audience.  
• When the distance between the projector and screen  
is not sufficient for normal rear projection, you can  
use a mirror to reflect the image onto the screen.  
• Place a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens.  
• Project the normal image onto the mirror.  
• The image reflected from the mirror is projected onto  
the translucent screen.  
• Use the projector’s menu system to reverse the  
projected image. (See page 34 for use of this  
function.)  
• Optimal image quality can be achieved when the projector is positioned perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level.  
CAUTION  
• When using a mirror, be sure to carefully position both the projector and the mirror so the light does not shine into the eyes of  
the audience.  
Ceiling-mount Setup  
• It is recommended that you use the optional Sharp ceiling-mount  
bracket for this installation.  
• Before mounting the projector, contact your nearest Sharp  
Authorised LCD Projector Dealer or Service Centre to obtain the  
recommended ceiling-mount bracket (sold separately). (AN-TK202  
ceiling-mount bracket, AN-TK201 extension tube, AN-Z7T ceiling  
adaptors for AN-TK202 or AN-TK201.)  
• When the projector is in the inverted position, use the upper edge  
of the screen as the base line.  
• Use the projector’s menu system to select the appropriate projection  
mode. (See page 34 for use of this function.)

RS-232C Port Specifications  
PC control  
A computer can be used to control the projector by connecting an RS-232C cable (null modem, cross type, sold  
separately) to the projector. (See page 14 for connection.)  
Communication conditions  
Set the serial port settings of the computer to match that of the table.  
Signal format: Conforms to RS-232C standard.  
Baud rate:  
Data length:  
Parity bit:  
9,600 bps  
8 bits  
NON  
Stop bit:  
1 bit  
None  
Flow control:  
Basic format  
Commands from the computer are sent in the following order: command, parameter, and return code. After the  
projector processes the command from the computer, it sends a response code to the computer.  
Command format  
Return code (0DH)  
C1 C2 C3 C4 P1 P2 P3 P4  
Command 4-digits Parameter 4-digits  
Response code format

When more than one code is being sent, send each command only after the OK response code for the previous  
command from the projector is verified.  
• When using the computer control function of the projector, the projector operating status cannot be read to 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 com-  
mand without displaying the On-screen Display.

This SHARP projector uses LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panels. These  
very sophisticated panels contain 480,000 pixels (
ן
 RGB) TFTs (Thin  
Film Transistors). As with any high technology electronic equipment  
such as large screen TVs, video systems and video cameras, there  
are certain acceptable tolerances that the equipment must conform  
to.  
This unit has some inactive TFTs within acceptable tolerances which  
may result in illuminated or 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  
Active digital keystone correction  
Corrects keystone distortion caused when the projected image is not perpendicular to the screen. This method  
provides not only horizontal correction, but vertical as well, thus maintaining the original 4:3 aspect ratio and  
eliminating jag lines.  
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.  
Auto sync  
Optimises projected computer images by automatically adjusting certain characteristics.  
Background  
Initial setting image projected when no signal is being input.  
Clock  
Clock adjustment is used to adjust vertical noise when clock level is incorrect.  
Colour temperature  
Function that can be used to adjust the colour temperature to suit the type of image input to the projector.  
Freeze  
Function to freeze a moving image.  
Gamma correction  
Offers richer image viewing with dark scene phase and contrast correction according to image and room  
brightness. Three gamma settings are available.  
GUI  
Graphical User Interface. User interface with graphics that allow easier operation.  
Intelligent compression and expansion  
High quality resizing of lower and higher resolution images to fit the projector’s native resolution.  
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.  
Picture display mode  
Allows you to modify or customise the picture display mode to enhance the input image.  
Progressive mode (Film mode)  
Optimises the image by converting the interlaced signal to the progressive. Useful for displaying slow-moving  
images or still images.  
RS-232C  
Function to control the projector from the computer by using the RS-232C ports on the projector and computer.  
Sync on green  
Video signal mode of a computer which overlaps horizontal and vertical sync signal to green colour signal pin.  
Theatre mode function  
Function with toggle switch to control the quantity of projected light. Select “ON” or “OFF” to decrease or  
increase brightness, power consumption and fan noise.
