Caution Concerning Lamp Replacement  
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  
projector. 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  
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.  
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.  
• 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.  
• Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp unit or the inside of the projector.  
• Do not loosen other screws except for the lamp unit cover and lamp unit.  
• Make sure to reset the lamp timer only when replacing the lamp. If you reset the lamp timer and  
continue to use the same lamp, this may cause the lamp to become damaged or explode.  
Carefully change the lamp by following the instructions described on pages 56 to 58.  
* 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 light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorized  
Projector Dealer or Service Center for repair.

Observe the following safeguards when setting up your  
projector.  
Caution concerning the lamp unit  
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.  
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.  
See “Regarding the Lamp”  
on page 56.  
Use the projector at altitudes of 2,300  
meters (7,500 feet) or less.  
Caution concerning the setup of the  
projector  
Warning about placing the projector in  
a high position  
When placing the projector in a high  
position, make certain it is carefully secure  
to avoid personal injury caused by the  
projector falling down.  
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.  
Do not subject the projector to hard  
impact and/or vibration.  
Protect the lens so as not to hit or damage  
the surface of the lens.  
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).  
Rest your eyes occasionally.  
Continuously watching the screen for long  
hours will cause eye strain. Take regular  
breaks to rest your eyes.  
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 11 13  
/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 indicate a  
malfunction. (See pages 54 and 55.)  
Remove the projector 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.  
Caution regarding placing of the projector  
Place the projector on a level site within the  
adjustment range (9 degrees) of the  
adjustment foot.  
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.

Caution regarding usage of the projector Using the projector in other countries  
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.  
Do not carry the projector by holding the  
lens.  
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  
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.  
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  
Other connected equipment  
When connecting a computer or other  
audio-visual equipment to the projector,  
make the connections AFTER unplugging

Info  
Turning the Projector On  
• When “Auto Restart” is set to “On”:  
If the power cord is unplugged from the outlet  
or the breaker switch is turned off when the  
projector is on, then the projector  
automatically turns on when the power cord  
is plugged into the AC outlet or the breaker  
switch is turned on. (See page 49.)  
• English is the factory default language. If you  
want to change the on-screen display to  
another language, change the language  
according to the procedure on page 48.  
Note that the connections to external  
equipment and power outlet should be  
done before performing the operations  
written below. (See pages 21 to 24.)  
Open the lens shutter fully and press

Red: The lamp is shut down  
abnormally or the lamp should be  
replaced.  
• When switching on the projector, a slight  
flickering of the image may be experienced  
within the first minute after the lamp has been  
illuminated. This is normal operation as the  
lamp's control circuitry is stabilising the lamp  
output characteristics. It should not be  
regarded as faulty operation.  
• If the projector is put into Standby mode and  
immediately turned on again, the lamp may  
take some time to start projection.

Maintenance  
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.  
Cleaning the lens  
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  
projector 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.  
Using a chemical cloth (wet/dry sheet type  
cloth, etc.) may deform the components of  
the cabinet or cause cracking.  
Wiping with a hard cloth or using strong  
force may scratch the cabinet surface.  
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 projector before use.  
Cleaning the exhaust and intake vents  
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean dust from the  
exhaust vent and the intake vent.  
Mild detergent diluted  
with water  
Info  
• If you want to clean the air vents during  
projector operation, ensure you press  
STANDBY/ON on the projector or  
STANDBY on the remote control and put the  
projector into Standby mode. After the  
cooling fan has stopped, clean the vents.

Maintenance Indicators  
The warning lights (power indicator, lamp indicator and temperature warning indicator) on the  
projector indicate problems inside the projector.  
If a problem occurs, either the temperature warning indicator or the lamp indicator will  
illuminate red, and the projector will enter Standby mode. After the projector has entered  
Standby mode, follow the procedures given below.  
Temperature warning indicator  
Lamp indicator  
Top View  
Power indicator  
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 55.  
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  
possible 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 52.)  
Purchase a replacement lamp of type AN-D350LP from your place of purchase, nearest Sharp  
Authorized 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 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 projector.  
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  
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.  
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.  
• 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 light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorized Projector  
Dealer or Service Center for repair.

RS-232C Specifications and Commands  
Computer control  
A computer can be used to control the projector by connecting an RS-232C serial  
control cable (cross type, commercially available) to the projector. (See page 24.)  
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*: 9,600 bps / 38,400 bps / 115,200 bps  
Data length: 8 bits  
Parity bit: None  
Stop bit: 1 bit  
Flow control: None  
*Set the projector's baud rate to the same rate as used by the computer.  
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.

Info  
• When controlling the projector using RS-232C commands from a computer, wait for at least 30  
seconds after the power has been turned on, and then transmit the commands.  
• After sending an input selection or picture adjustment command and then receiving an “OK” response  
code, the projector may take some time to process the command. If a second command is sent while  
the projector is still processing the first command, you may receive an “ERR” response code. If this  
happens, try resending the second command.  
• When more than one code is being sent, send each command only after the response code for the  
previous command from the projector is verified.  
• “POWR????”, “TABN _ _ _ 1”, “TLPS _ _ _ 1”, “TPOW _ _ _ 1”, “TLPN _ _ _ 1”, “TLTT _ _ _ 1”,  
“TLTM _ _ _ 1”, “TLTL _ _ _ 1”, “TNAM _ _ _ 1”, “MNRD _ _ _ 1”, “PJN0 _ _ _ 1”  
− When the projector receives the special commands shown above:  
* The on-screen display will not disappear.  
* The “Auto Power Off” timer will not be reset.  
− The special commands are available for applications that require continuous polling.  
Note  
• If an underbar (_) appears in the parameter column, enter a space.  
• If an asterisk (*) appears in the parameter column, enter a value in the range indicated in brackets  
under Control Contents.

Note  
• Optimum image quality will be achieved by matching your computer's output resolution to the  
resolution that corresponds to “TRUE” in the “Display” column shown above.  
• When “Screen resolution” of the computer is different from the resolution displayed on the projected  
image, follow the procedures shown below.  
– Refer to “Resolution” on the “SIG-ADJ” menu 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 resolution”  
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.

As a part of policy of continuous improvement, SHARP reserves the right to make design and  
specification changes for product improvement without prior notice. The performance specification  
figures indicated are nominal values of production units. There may be some deviations from these  
values in individual units.  
This SHARP projector uses a DLP® chip. This very sophisticated panel contains 786,432 (XR-  
55X)/480,000 (XR-50S) pixels (micromirrors). As with any high technology electronic equip-  
ment such as large screen TVs, video systems and video cameras, there are certain accept-  
able 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.
