This SHARP projector uses an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panel.
This very sophisticated panel contains 786,432 pixels ( ✕ RGB)
TFT s (Thin Film T ransistors). 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.
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
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.

IMPORTANT SERVICE SAFETY NOTES (for USA)
Ë Service work should be performed only by qualified service technicians who are
thoroughly familiar with all safety checks and servicing guidelines as follows:
WARNING
1. For continued safety, no modification of any circuit
should be attempted.
2. Disconnect AC power before servicing.
BEFORE RETURNING THE PROJECTOR:
(Fire & Shock Hazard)
Before returning the projector to the user, perform
the following safety checks:
1. Inspect lead wires are not pinched between the
chassis and other metal parts of the projector.
2. Inspect all protective devices such as non-metallic
control knobs, insulating materials, cabinet backs,
adjustment and compartment covers or shields,
isolation resistor-capacity networks, mechanical
insulators, etc.
3. To be sure that no shock hazard exists, check for
current leakage in the following manner:
» Plug the AC cord directly into a 120-volt AC outlet,
(Do not use an isolation transformer for this test).
» Using two clip leads, connect a 1.5k ohm, 10 watt
resistor paralleled by a 0.15µF capacitor in parallel
between all exposed metal cabinet parts and earth
ground.
» Use an AC voltmeter with sensitivity of 5000 ohm per
volt., or higher, sensitivity to measure the AC voltage
drop across the resistor (See Diagram).
» All checks must be repeated with the AC plug
connection reversed. (If necessary , a non-polarized
adapter plug must be used only for the purpose of
completing these checks.)
Any reading of 0.3 volts RMS (this corresponds to
0.2 milliamp. AC.) or more is excessive and indicates
a potential shock hazard which must be corrected
before returning the unit to the owner.
Many electrical and mechanical parts in LCD Projector
have special safety-related characteristics.
These characteristics are often not evident from visual
inspection, nor can protection afforded by them be
necessarily increased by using replacement components
rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc.
Replacement parts which have these special safety
characteristics are identified in this manual; electrical
components having such features are identified by “å”
and shaded areas in the Replacement Parts Lists and
Schematic Diagrams. For continued protection,
replacement parts must be identical to those used in the
original circuit. The use of a substitute replacement parts
which do not have the same safety characteristics as
the factory recommended replacement parts shown in
this service manual, may create shock, fire or other
hazards.
AVIS POUR LA SECURITE
De nombreuses pièces, électriques et mécaniques, dans
les projecteur à LCD présentent des caractéristiques
spéciales relatives à la sécurité, qui ne sont souvent
pas évidentes à vue.
Le degré de protection ne peut pas être nécessairement
augmentée en utilisant des pièces de remplacement
étalonnées pour haute tension, puissance, etc.
Les pièces de remplacement qui présentent ces
caractéristiques sont identifiées dans ce manuel;
les pièces électriques qui présentent ces particularités
sont identifiées par la marque “å” et hachurées dans la
liste des pièces de remplacement et les diagrammes
schématiques. Pour assurer la protection, ces pièces
doivent être identiques à celles utilisées dans le circuit
d’origine. L’utilisation de pièces qui n’ont pas les mêmes
caractéristiques que les pièces recommandées par
l’usine, indiquées dans ce manuel, peut provoquer des
électrocutions, incendies ou autres accidents.
WARNING: The bimetallic component has the primary
conductive side exposed. Be very careful in
handling this component when the power is on.
AVERTISSEMENT: La composante bimétallique dispose du
conducteur primaire dénudé. Faire
attention lors de la manipulation de cette
composante sous tension.

Precautions for using lead-free solder
1 Employing lead-free solder
"Main and R/C Receiver PWBs" of these models employs lead-free solder. The LF symbol indicates lead-free
solder, and is attached on the PWBs and service manuals. The alphabetical character following LF shows the type
of lead-free solder.
Example:
LFa
Indicates lead-free solder of tin, silver and copper.
2 Using lead-free wire solder
When fixing the PWB soldered with the lead-free solder, apply lead-free wire solder. Repairing with conventional
lead wire solder may cause damage or accident due to cracks.
As the melting point of lead-free solder (Sn-Ag-Cu) is higher than the lead wire solder by 40°C, we recommend you
to use a dedicated soldering bit, if you are not familiar with how to obtain lead-free wire solder or soldening bit,
contact our service station or service ranch in your area.
3 Soldering
As the melting point of lead-free solder (Sn-Ag-Cu) is about 220°C which is higher than the conventional lead solder
by 40°C, and as it has poor solder wettabillty, you may be apt to keep the soldering bit in contact with the PWB for
extended period of time. However, Since the land may be peeled off or the maximum heat-resistance temperature
of parts may be excoeded, remove the bit from the PWB as soon as you conurm the steady soldering condition.
Lead-free solder contains more tin, and the end of the soldering bit may be easily corroded. Make sure to tum on
and off the power of the bit as required.
if a different type of solder stays on the tip of the soldering bit, it is alloyed with lead-free solder. Clean the bit after
every use of it.
When the tip of the soldering bit is blackened during use, file it with steel wool or fine sandpaper.
Becareful when replacing parts with polarity indication on the PWB silk.

Attach the cover and slide it until it clicks into place.
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please follow the precautions below.
Caution
• Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the and marks inside the battery compartment.
• Batteries of different types have different properties, therefore do not mix batteries of different types.
• Do not mix new and old batteries.
This may shorten the life of new batteries or may cause old batteries to leak.
• 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 be sure to first wipe them and then remove them
using a cloth.
and
• 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.
