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 will need to be cleaned 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 Authorized LCD Projector Dealer or Service
Center.
Notes on Operation
• The three marks shown on the left are caution labels for parts of
the projector that emit intense heat during operation.

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 (3
15
/16 inches) of space between the cooling
fan (exhaust vents) 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 until the projector has sufficiently cooled. Then turn on the
power by plugging the power cord back in. This will return the
projector to the normal operating condition.

Basic Information &
Preparations
Appropriate legal disclaimers should be added to indicate registered trade names and registered business names.
• Sharp, clear images
There is no RGB color separation, and the spaces between the individual pixels are not noticeable. That means sharp and
clear reproduction of small characters and figures. Take a closer look and notice the difference in quality!
• Outstanding sharp, clear, 3D like images with vivid colors when reproducing DVD video and other high picturequality data/video sources
Accurate gray scale reproduction makes for more natural image displays. DVD and other high quality image sources bring
out the true image display quality of the unit.
• Screen not distorted to a trapezoid (keystoning) when projecting to the height of the line of vision
Because the projection position is already set to the height of the line of vision, there is no keystoning effect.
Even when projecting above or under the height of the line of vision, image distortion (if any) can be adjusted using the
keystone correction function.
• (PG-M10X)
Fully compatible with true XGA; support for SXGA using advanced intelligent compression technology
The advanced intelligent compression technology enables these projectors to present clear compression SXGA images
without any line omission.
(PG-M10S)
Fully compatible with true SVGA; support for XGA using advanced intelligent compression technology
The advanced intelligent compression technology enables it to present clear compression XGA images without any line
omission.
• A remote control that can operate the PC
The supplied remote control both operates the unit and acts as a wireless mouse control to operate the PC connected to
the unit. The wireless mouse control is available when the unit is connected to USB or PS/2 port of the personal computer.
• The compact and easy to carry cabinet with its contemporary design compliments any office, boardroom, or
auditorium.
