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 39, 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 1,400 hours, LAMP will appear in the lower-left corner of the picture to advise you to replace the lamp. See pages 40 and 41 for lamp replacement. If the lamp has been used for 1,500 hours, the projector power will automatically turn off and the projector will enter standby mode. Refer to Lamp/Maintenance Indicators on page 39, for details.
Usage Guidelines
Caution Concerning the Lamp Unit
Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp ruptures. Please have an Authorised Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer or Service Centre replace lamp if rupture occurs. See Replacing the Projection Lamp on pages 40 and 41.
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. 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 an Authorised Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer or Service Centre.
Do not expose the projector to extreme heat or cold. Operating temperature: Ⳮ5°C to Ⳮ35°C Storage temperature: 20°C to 60°C
The mark shown on the left calls the users 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.

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.
Setting up the Screen
Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size. (See the table below.)

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.
Optimal image quality can be achieved when the projector is positioned perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level.
Reversed Image Setup
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.
Rear projection
Place a translucent screen between the projector and the audience.
Use the projectors menu system to reverse the projected image. (See page 36 for use of this function.)
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 Authorised Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer or Service Centre to obtain the recommended ceiling-mount bracket (sold separately). (AN­Z7T ceiling-mount bracket, AN-TK201/202 extension tube for AN­Z7T.)
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 36 for use of this function.)
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.

Problem
Lamp has been used for
over 1,400 hours.
Lamp has been used for
over 1,500 hours.
Possible Solution
Purchase a replacement lamp unit (lamp cage/module) of the current type BQC­PGC20X//1 from your nearest Authorised Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer or Service Centre.
Replace the lamp. (See pages 40 and 41.) If you wish, you may have the lamp replaced at your nearest Authorised Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer or Service Centre.
Condition
The LAMP REPLACEMENT indicator illuminates red, and “LAMP” will appear in yellow in the lower-left corner of the picture.
A significant deterioration of the picture and colour quality occurs.
The power will automatically turn off and the projector will enter standby mode.
LAMP will appear in red in the lower-left corner of the picture, and the power will turn off.
Lamp
The lamp in this projector operates for approximately 1,500 cumulative hours, depending on the usage environ­ment. It is recommended that the lamp be replaced after 1,400 cumulative hours of use or when you notice a significant deterioration of the picture and colour quality. The lamp usage timer can be checked with the On­screen Display. (See page 34.)
CAUTION
Intense light hazard. Do not attempt to look into the aperture and lens while the projector is operating.
As the usage environment can vary significantly, the projector lamp may not operate for 1,500 hours.
•“1,500 hours” above indicates average life span and should be used for reference only. This is different than the warranty period.
For safety, the power will not be turned on from the fourth times when turning on the power without changing the lamp after use for 1,500
hours.
If the TEMPERATURE WARNING indicator illuminates, follow the solution listed above and then wait until the projector has cooled down completely before turning the power back on. (At least 5 minutes.)
If the power is turned off and then turned on again, as during a brief rest, the LAMP REPLACEMENT indicator may be triggered, preventing the power from going on. Should this occur, remove the power cord from the wall outlet and plug it in again.

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 15 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: 9,600 bps Data length: 8 bits Parity bit: NON Stop bit: 1 bit Flow control: None
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
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 com­mand without displaying the On-screen Display.

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.
This SHARP projector uses LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panels. These very sophisticated panels contain 786,432 pixels ( 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.
Specifications are subject to change without notice.

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.
Compatibility
Ability to use with various image signal modes.
Composite sync
Signal combining horizontal and vertical sync pulses.
Dot by dot
Mode that projects images in their native resolution.
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.
Magnification
Digitally zooms in on a portion of an image.
Power save 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.
PDF
Portable Document Format. Documentation format used to transfer text and images from the CD-ROM.
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.
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.
Wireless mouse
Function to operate the mouse control of a computer with the supplied remote control.
XGA resolution
Resolution with 1,024 768 pixels that uses the signal of an IBM/AT compatible (DOS/V) computer.
