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.

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 projector’s 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.
