IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
ATTENTION: Please read all of these instructions before you operate your Projector for  
the first time. Save these instructions for future reference.  
For your own protection and prolonged operation of your Projector, be sure to read the following IMPORTANT  
SAFEGUARDScarefully, 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 Projector, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.  
1. Unplug the 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  
Projector manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.  
4. Do not use the 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 Projector on an unstable cart, stand, or  
table. The Projector may fall, which may cause serious  
injury to a child or an adult, and/or serious damage to the  
unit.  
17. Unplug the Projector equipment from the wall outlet and  
refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the  
following conditions:  
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.  
b. If liquid has been spilled into the Projector.  
c. If the Projector has been exposed to rain or water.  
d. If the Projector does not operate normally when  
you follow the operating instructions. Adjust only  
those controls that are covered by the operating  
instructions, as improper adjustment of other  
controls may cause damage and will often require  
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore  
the Projector to normal operation.  
6. Wall or Ceiling MountingThe product should be  
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by  
the manufacturer.  
e. If the Projector has been dropped or the cabinet  
has been damaged.  
f. When the Projector exhibits a distinct change in  
performancethis 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. 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 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 Projector should never be placed near or over a  
radiator or heating vent. The Projector should not be  
placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless  
proper ventilation is provided.  
19. This 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.  
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug.  
a. Two-wire type mains plug.  
b. Three-wire grounding type mains plug with a  
grounding terminal.  
This plug will only fit into a grounding type power  
outlet.  
10. The 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 Projector dealer or  
local power company.  
11. Do not place the Projector where the cord will be abused  
by persons walking on it.  
12. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the  
Projector.  
13. To prevent damage to the projector due to lightning and  
power-line surges, unplug the projector from the power  
outlet, when not in use.  
14. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords with too  
many products, because this can result in fire or electric  
shock.  
15. Never push objects of any kind into the Projector through  
the cabinet slots as they may touch high-voltage points  
or cause a short circuit. This could result in a fire or electric  
shock.  
16. Do not attempt to service the Projector yourself. Opening  
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage  
or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service  
personnel.

Cautions 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 lens and  
part of filter must be cleaned more often than usual. As long as the projector  
is properly maintained in this manner, use in these environments will not reduce  
the overall operation life. Please note that all internal cleaning must be  
performed by a Sharp Authorised Projector Dealer or Service Centre.  
Do not expose the projector to extreme heat or cold.

5˚C  
Operating temperature: +5°C to 35°C  
Storage temperature: 20°C to +60°C  
Notes on Operation  
The exhaust ventilative hole, the lamp cage cover and adjacent areas may  
get extremely hot during projector operation. To prevent injury, do not touch  
these areas until they have sufficiently cooled down.  
Allow at least 30 cm of space between the exhaust ventilative hole 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.

Adjusting the Projection Distance  
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and leveled 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 polarising screen cannot be used with this projector.

Adjusting the Projection Distance  
Upper and Lower Lens Shift Position  
This projector is equipped with a lens shift function that lets you adjust the projection height.  
Adjust it to match the setup configuration.  
The screen can be moved maximum the length of one screen vertically using the lens shift.  
Optimal image quality is produced with the projector positioned perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level. Tilting or angling  
the projector will reduce the effectiveness of the lens shift function.

Image Projection  
Rear Projection  
Place a translucent screen between the projector and  
the audience.  
Use the projectors menu system to reverse the  
projected image. (See page 43 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 leveled.  
Projection Using a Mirror  
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.  
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 Projection  
It is recommended that you use the optional Sharp  
ceiling-mount bracket for this installation.  
Before mounting the projector, contact your nearest  
Sharp Authorised Projector Dealer or Service Centre  
to obtain the recommended ceiling-mount bracket  
(sold separately). (AN-TK202 ceiling-mount bracket,  
AN-TK201 extension tube, AN-NV6T 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 projectors menu system to select the  
appropriate projection mode. (See page 43 for use  
of this function.)

Gamma Correction Function  
• Gamma is an 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.  
• Four gamma settings are available to allow for  
differences in the images displayed and in the  
brightness of the room.  
• When you are displaying images with frequent, dark  
scenes, such as a film or concert, or when you are  
displaying images in a bright room, this feature makes  
the dark scenes easier to see and gives the  
impression of greater depth in the image.

This SHARP projector uses a DMD chip. This very sophisticated chip  
contains 921,600 pixels. 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 pixels within acceptable tolerances 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  
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.  
Cinema zoom  
Mode that projects the 16:9 image which uses the centre of the image signal on the full-screen.  
Clock  
Clock adjustment is used to adjust vertical noise when clock level is incorrect.  
CLR Temp (Colour temperature)  
Function that can be used to adjust the colour temperature to suit the type of image input to the projector. Decrease the colour temperature to create warmer,  
reddish images for natural flesh tones, or increase to create cooler, bluish images for a brighter picture.  
Composite sync  
Signal combining horizontal and vertical sync pulses.  
Digital keystone correction  
Function to digitally correct a distorted image when the projector is set up at an angle, smoothes out jaggies on keystone images and compresses the image  
not only horizontally but vertically keeping the 4 : 3 aspect ratio.  
Digital shift  
Shifts image up or down easily by  
VIDEO and DTV inputs.  
/
buttons when RESIZE mode of input image is SMART STRETCH, CINEMA ZOOM, or DOT BY DOT of COMPUTER,  
Dot by dot  
Mode that projects images in their native resolution.  
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, GAMMA 1, GAMMA 2 and CUSTOM.  
Intelligent compression and expansion  
High quality resizing of lower and higher resolution images to fit the projectors native resolution.  
Lens shift  
The lens can be easily raised and lowered to minimise or eliminate Keystonetype effect.  
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.  
Progressive Mode  
The progressive display projects a smoother video image. You can select three different modes : 2D Progressive, 3D Progressive and Film Mode.  
RESIZE  
Allows you to modify or customise the picture display mode to enhance the input image. You can select six different modes: SIDE BAR, SMART STRETCH,  
CINEMA ZOOM, STRETCH, NORMAL, and DOT BY DOT.  
RS-232C  
Function to control the projector from the computer by using the RS-232C ports on the projector and computer.  
Side bar  
Mode that projects the normal 4:3 image at the 4:3 area for the centre of the screen.  
Smart Stretch  
Mode that stretches the right and left sides of the 4:3 image horizontally while maintaining the aspect ratio around the centre of the image to display it on the WIDE  
screen.  
Status function  
Displays the settings of each adjustment item.  
Stretch  
Mode that stretches the 4:3 image horizontally to display it on the WIDE screen.  
Sync on green  
Video signal mode of a computer which overlaps horizontal and vertical sync signal to green colour signal pin.  
3D DNR (3D Digital Noise Reduction)  
Provides high quality images with minimal background.
