It is recommended that the lamp unit (optional: AN-MB60LP) 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 49. Purchase a replacement lamp unit of type AN-MB60LP from your place of purchase, nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO U.S. CUSTOMERS:
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, 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. 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.
Caution
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.

Introduction
Ensure that you read the following safeguards when setting up your projector.
Caution concerning the lamp unit
Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp ruptures. In case of lamp rupture, contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Projec- tor Dealer or Service Center for a replacement. See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 64.
Caution concerning the setup of the pro- jector
For minimal servicing and to maintain high image quality, SHARP recommends that this projector be installed in an area free from hu- midity, 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 set up the projector in places ex- posed 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.
The projector may be safely tilted to a maximum angle of 12 degrees.
Placement should be within ±12 degrees of horizontal.
Warning about placing the projector in a high position
When placing the projector in a high posi- tion, ensure to secure it carefully to avoid per- sonal injury caused by the projector falling down.
Do not subject the projector to hard im- pact and/or vibration.
Take care with the lens so as not to hit or damage the surface of the lens.
Rest your eyes occasionally.
Continuously watching the screen for long hours will cause eye strain. Ensure to occa- sionally rest your eyes.
Avoid locations with extremes of tem- perature.
The operating temperature of the projector is from 41°F to 104°F (+5°C to +40°C).
The storage temperature of the projector is from –4°F to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C).
Do not block the intake and exhaust vents.
Allow at least 7 7/8 inches (20 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 pro- tection circuit will automatically put the pro- jector into standby mode to prevent overheat damage. This does not indicate a malfunc- tion (See pages 62 and 63.). Remove the pro- jector 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.

Info
The cooling fan regulates the internal tem- perature, and its performance is automati- cally controlled. The sound of the fan may change during projector operation due to changes in the fan speed. This does not indicate malfunction.
Do not unplug the power cord during pro- jection or cooling fan operation. This can cause damage due to rise in internal tem- perature, as the cooling fan also stops.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Caution regarding usage of the projector
When using the projector, ensure not to sub- ject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this can result in damage. Take extra care with the lens. If you are not to use the projector for a long time, ensure to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables connected to it.
Do not use the projector by holding the lens.
When storing the projector, ensure to attach
the lens cap to the projector. (See page 11.)
Do not expose the storage case or projector to direct sunlight or near heat sources. The storage case or projector may change color or become deformed.
Other connected equipment
When connecting a computer or other audio- visual equipment to the projector, make the connections AFTER unplugging the power cord of the projector from the AC outlet and turning off the equipment to be connected.
Please read the operation manuals of the pro- jector and the equipment to be connected for instructions on how to make the connections.
Using the projector in other countries
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, ensure to use an appropriate power cord for the coun- try you are in.
Temperature monitor function
If the projector starts to over- heat due to setup problems or blockage of the air vents, ” and “ will illumi- nate 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 blink, and after a 90-second cool- ing-off period the projector will enter the standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on page 62 for details.

Hg LAMP CONTAINS MERCURY For State Lamp Disposal Information www.lamprecycle.org or 1-800-BE-SHARP
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, 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.
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.
Caution
Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp will be very hot and may cause burn
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.

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
Optimizes projected computer images by auto- matically adjusting certain characteristics.
Background
Initial setting image projected when no signal is being output.
Border
Projects a 4:3 image fully within a 16:9 screen by keeping the aspect ratio at 4:3.
Clock
Clock adjustment is used to adjust vertical noise when clock level is incorrect.
CLR Temp (Color temperature)
Function that can be used to adjust the color tem- perature to suit the type of image input to the pro- jector. Decrease the color temperature to create warmer, reddish images for natural flesh tones, or increase to create cooler, bluish images for a brighter picture.
Dot by dot
Mode that projects images in their native resolution.
Intelligent compression
High quality resizing of lower and higher resolu- tion images to fit the projectors native resolution.
Keylock
Mode that can lock the operation of projector but- tons to prevent unauthorized adjustment.
Keystone Correction
Function to digitally correct a distorted image when the projector is set up at an angle, smooth- ens out jaggies on keystone images and com- presses the image not only horizontally but verti- cally keeping the 4:3 aspect ratio.
Password
A password is set so that changes cannot be made in the “Options2” setting.
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.
Picture Mode
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, PRESENTATION, CINEMA and GAME.
Resize
Allows you to modify or customize the picture dis- play mode to enhance the input image. You can select four different modes: NORMAL, DOT BY DOT, BORDER and STRETCH.
sRGB
An international standard of color reproduction regulated by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). As the fixed color area has been decided by the IEC, the color changes according to DLP features, so that the images are displayed in a natural tint based on an original image, when “sRGB” is set to “ON”.
Stretch
Mode that stretches the 4:3 image horizontally to display it fully on a 16:9 screen.
System Lock
If the “Keycode” set in the projector is not cor- rectly entered, the projector will not operate even if signals are entered.

Info
The cooling fan regulates the internal tem- perature, and its performance is automati- cally controlled. The sound of the fan may change during projector operation due to changes in the fan speed. This does not indicate malfunction. Do not unplug the power cord during pro- jection or cooling fan operation. This can cause damage due to rise in internal tem- perature, as the cooling fan also stops.

HEIGHT ADJUST button
Using the Adjustment Feet
The height of the projector can be adjusted using the adjustment feet at the front and rear of the projector when the screen is located higher than the projector, the screen is inclined or when the installation site is slightly inclined. Install the projector so that it is as perpen- dicular to the screen as possible.
1
Press the HEIGHT ADJUST button.
The front adjustment foot comes out.
2 Lift the projector to adjust its
height while pressing the HEIGHT ADJUST button.
The projector is adjustable up to approxi- mately 12 degrees (6 steps). When lowering the projector, it may be difficult to move the front adjustment foot because the installation surface is diffi- cult to slide. In this case, pull the pro- jector back slightly and adjust its height.
3 Remove your hand from the
HEIGHT ADJUST button of the projector after its height has been finely adjusted.
4 Finely adjust the height and in-
clination by turning the rear ad- justment feet.
When adjusting the height of the pro- jector, trapezoidal distortion occurs. When “Auto Keystone” of the “Options2” menu is set to “
” (ON) (see page 56), keystone correction functions automati- cally to correct trapezoidal distortion. When you want to adjust the automati- cally corrected image, use the manual keystone correction. (See page 31.)
Info
Do not press the HEIGHT ADJUST button when the front adjustment foot comes out without firmly holding the projector. Do not hold the lens when lifting or lower- ing the projector. When lowering the projector, be careful not to get your fingers caught in the area be- tween the adjustment foot and the projector.

Hg LAMP CONTAINS MERCURY For State Lamp Disposal Information www.lamprecycle.org or 1-800-BE-SHARP
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, 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. 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.
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 burn 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 illuminate after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorized
Projector Dealer or Service Center for repair.

Cleaning the lens
Use a commercially available blower or lens clean- ing paper (for glasses and camera lenses) for clean- ing 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, ensure not to scrape or hit the lens.
Cleaning the exhaust and intake vents
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean dust from the ex- haust vent and the intake vent.
Info
If you want to clean the air vents during projec- tor operation, ensure to press
on the pro- jector or on the remote control and put the projector into standby mode. After the cooling fan has stopped, unplug the power cord from the AC socket and clean the vents.
Cleaning the projector
Ensure the power cord is unplugged 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. Do not attach rubber or plastic items to the projec- tor 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. 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 projec- tor before use.

HEIGHT ADJUST button
Using the Adjustment Feet
The height of the projector can be adjusted using the adjustment feet at the front and rear of the projector when the screen is located higher than the projector, the screen is inclined or when the installation site is slightly inclined. Install the projector so that it is as perpen- dicular to the screen as possible.
1
Press the HEIGHT ADJUST button.
The front adjustment foot comes out.
2 Lift the projector to adjust its
height while pressing the HEIGHT ADJUST button.
The projector is adjustable up to approxi- mately 12 degrees (6 steps).
When lowering the projector, it may be difficult to move the front adjustment foot because the installation surface is diffi- cult to slide. In this case, pull the pro- jector back slightly and adjust its height.
3 Remove your hand from the
HEIGHT ADJUST button of the projector after its height has been finely adjusted.
4 Finely adjust the height and in-
clination by turning the rear ad- justment feet.
When adjusting the height of the pro- jector, trapezoidal distortion occurs. When “Auto Keystone” of the “Options2” menu is set to “
” (ON) (see page 56), keystone correction functions automati- cally to correct trapezoidal distortion. When you want to adjust the automati- cally corrected image, use the manual keystone correction. (See page 31.)
Info
Do not press the HEIGHT ADJUST button when the front adjustment foot comes out without firmly holding the projector.
Do not hold the lens when lifting or lower- ing the projector.
When lowering the projector, be careful not to get your fingers caught in the area be- tween the adjustment foot and the projector.

Hg LAMP CONTAINS MERCURY For State Lamp Disposal Information www.lamprecycle.org or 1-800-BE-SHARP
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, 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. 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.
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 burn 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 illuminate after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorized
Projector Dealer or Service Center for repair.

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
Optimizes projected computer images by auto- matically adjusting certain characteristics.
Background
Initial setting image projected when no signal is being output.
Border
Projects a 4:3 image fully within a 16:9 screen by keeping the aspect ratio at 4:3.
Clock
Clock adjustment is used to adjust vertical noise when clock level is incorrect.
CLR Temp (Color temperature)
Function that can be used to adjust the color tem- perature to suit the type of image input to the pro- jector. Decrease the color temperature to create warmer, reddish images for natural flesh tones, or increase to create cooler, bluish images for a brighter picture.
Dot by dot
Mode that projects images in their native resolution.
Intelligent compression
High quality resizing of lower and higher resolu- tion images to fit the projectors native resolution.
Keylock
Mode that can lock the operation of projector but- tons to prevent unauthorized adjustment.
Keystone Correction
Function to digitally correct a distorted image when the projector is set up at an angle, smooth- ens out jaggies on keystone images and com- presses the image not only horizontally but verti- cally keeping the 4:3 aspect ratio.
Password
A password is set so that changes cannot be made in the “Options2” setting.
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.

Lamp
It is recommended that the lamp unit (optional: AN-MB60LP) 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 49. Purchase a replacement lamp unit of type AN-MB60LP from your place of purchase, nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO U.S. CUSTOMERS:
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, 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. 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.
Replacing the Lamp
Caution
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.

Info
The cooling fan regulates the internal tem- perature, and its performance is automati- cally controlled. The sound of the fan may change during projector operation due to changes in the fan speed. This does not indicate malfunction.
Do not unplug the power cord during pro- jection or cooling fan operation. This can cause damage due to rise in internal tem- perature, as the cooling fan also stops.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Caution regarding usage of the projector
When using the projector, ensure not to sub- ject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this can result in damage. Take extra care with the lens. If you are not to use the projector for a long time, ensure to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables connected to it. Do not use the projector by holding the lens. When storing the projector, ensure to attach the lens cap to the projector. (See page 11.) Do not expose the storage case or projector to direct sunlight or near heat sources. The storage case or projector may change color or become deformed.
Other connected equipment
When connecting a computer or other audio- visual equipment to the projector, make the connections AFTER unplugging the power cord of the projector from the AC outlet and turning off the equipment to be connected. Please read the operation manuals of the pro- jector and the equipment to be connected for instructions on how to make the connections.
Using the projector in other countries
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, ensure to use an appropriate power cord for the coun- try you are in.
Temperature monitor function
If the projector starts to over- heat due to setup problems or blockage of the air vents, ” and “ will illumi- nate 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 blink, and after a 90-second cool- ing-off period the projector will enter the standby mode.

Hg LAMP CONTAINS MERCURY For State Lamp Disposal Information www.lamprecycle.org or 1-800-BE-SHARP
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, 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. 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.
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 burn 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 illuminate after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorized
Projector Dealer or Service Center for repair.

Clock
Clock adjustment is used to adjust vertical noise when clock level is incorrect.
CLR Temp (Color temperature)
Function that can be used to adjust the color tem- perature to suit the type of image input to the pro- jector. Decrease the color temperature to create warmer, reddish images for natural flesh tones, or increase to create cooler, bluish images for a brighter picture.
Dot by dot
Mode that projects images in their native resolution.
Intelligent compression
High quality resizing of lower and higher resolu- tion images to fit the projectors native resolution.
Keylock
Mode that can lock the operation of projector but- tons to prevent unauthorized adjustment.
Keystone Correction
Function to digitally correct a distorted image when the projector is set up at an angle, smooth- ens out jaggies on keystone images and com- presses the image not only horizontally but verti- cally keeping the 4:3 aspect ratio.
Password
A password is set so that changes cannot be made in the “Options2” setting.
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.
Picture Mode

Setup
Setting up the Projector
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with the projector’s feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image.
Note
The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.
For an optimal image, 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 projector in a sunny or bright room.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)
Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size. (For details, refer to page 2 of the “SETUP GUIDE” contained on the supplied CD-ROM.)
