IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Observe 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 Projector Dealer or Service Center for replacement. See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 85.
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. When the projector is subjected to these environments, the 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 exposed 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.
When using the projector in high-altitude areas such as mountains (at altitudes of approximately 4,900 feet (1,500 meters) or more)
When you use the projector in high-altitude areas with thin air, set “Fan Mode” to “High”. Neglecting this can affect the longevity of the optical system.
The projector may safely be tilted to a maximum angle of 12 degrees.
Placement should be within ±12 degrees.
Do not subject the projector to hard impact and/ or vibration.
Protect 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 make your eyes tired. Be sure to occasionally rest your eyes.
Avoid locations with high or low temperature.
The operating temperature for the projector is from 41°F to 95°F (+5°C to +35°C).
The storage temperature for the projector is from –4°F to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C).
Do not block the exhaust and intake vents.
Allow at least 7.9 inches (20 cm) of space between the exhaust vent and the nearest wall or obstruction.
Be sure that the intake vent and the exhaust vent are not obstructed.
If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection cir­cuit will automatically put the projector into the standby mode. This does not indicate a malfunction. Remove the projector 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.
Cautions regarding the transportation of the pro­jector
When transporting the projector, be sure not to subject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this can result in damage. Take extra caution with the lens. Before mov­ing the projector, be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables con­nected to it.
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 projector 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, be sure to use the appropriate power cord for the country you are in.
Temperature monitor function
If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems or block­age of the air vents, “ ” and “ ” will blink 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 cooling-off period the projector will enter the standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on page 83 for details.
Info
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. This does not indicate malfunction.
Do not unplug the power cord during projection or cool­ing fan operation. This can create damage due to the rise in internal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.

Using the Remote Control
The remote control can be used to control the projector within the ranges shown in the illustration.
Note
The signal from the remote control can be reflected off a screen
for easy operation. However, the effective distance of the signal may differ due to the screen material.
When using the remote control:
Ensure that you do not drop the remote control or expose it to
moisture or high temperature.
The remote control may malfunction under a fluorescent lamp.
Under that circumstance, move the projector away from the fluo­rescent lamp.
Inserting the Batteries
The batteries (two R-6 batteries (“AA” size, UM/SUM-3, HP-7 or similar)) are included in the package.
1 Pull down the tab on the cover
and remove the cover towards the direction of the arrow.
2 Insert the included batteries.
Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the
and
marks inside the battery
compartment.
3 Insert the lower tab of the
cover into the opening, and lower the cover until it clicks in place.
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please follow the precautions below.
Caution
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the
and marks inside the battery compart-
ment.
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 can cause them to leak. Battery fluid from leaked batteries is harmful to your skin, therefore ensure that you first wipe them and then remove them using a cloth.
The batteries included with this projector may exhaust over 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.

Example of Standard Setup
Setting up the Screen
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all 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 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 screen in a sunny or bright room.
A polarizing screen cannot be used with this projector.
Three optional lenses from Sharp are also available for specialized application. Contact your local Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer for details on the lens. (Refer to the lens installation manual when attaching a lens.)

Projecting a Reversed/Inverted Image
Projection from behind the screen
Place a translucent screen between the projector and the au­dience.
Reverse the image by setting “Rear” in “PRJ Mode”. See page 71 for use of this function.
Projection using a mirror
Place a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens.
Info
When using a mirror, be sure to carefully position both the pro-
jector 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 Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center to obtain the recommended ceiling-mount bracket (sold separately).
AN-XGCM55 ceiling-mount bracket, its AN-EP101B
extension tube and AN-JT200 universal bracket, adaptor for non-level ceiling installation (for U.S.A.).
BB-M20T ceiling adaptor, its BB-NVHOLDER280,
BB-NVHOLDER550, BB-NVHOLDER900 ceiling mount systems (for GERMANY).
AN-60KT ceiling-mount bracket, its AN-TK201 and AN-TK202
extension tubes (for countries other than the U.S.A. and GERMANY).
Be sure to adjust the position of the pro­jector to match the distance (H) from the lens center position (see page 28) to the lower edge of the image, when mounting the projector on the ceiling.
Invert the image by setting “Ceiling + Front” in “PRJ Mode”. See page 71 for use of this function.
The image is reversed.

1 Plug the power cord into the
wall outlet.
The power indicator illuminates red, and the projector enters the standby mode.
2 Press
ON
on the projector or on
the remote control.
The power indicator illuminates green. After the lamp indicator illuminates, the projector is ready to start operation.
Note
The lamp indicator illuminates, indi­cating the status of the lamp.
Green: The lamp is on. Green blinking: The lamp is
warming up or shutting down.
Red:
The lamp should be replaced.
If the projector is put into the standby mode and immediately turned on again, the lamp indicator may take time to illuminate.
When controlling the projector using RS-232C commands from a com­puter, wait for at least 40 seconds after the power has been turned on, and then transmit the commands.
When “Anti-Theft” (see page 75) is set, the keycode input box will appear.
Enter the keycode.
Note

This function allows you to select the progres­sive display of a video signal. The progres­sive display projects a smoother video image.
Select “Progressive Mode” in the “Pic­ture” menu on the menu screen. For operating the menu screen, see pages 42 to 45.
Note
2D Progressive This function is useful to display fast­moving images such as sports and ac­tion films. This mode optimizes the im­age in a displayed frame.
3D Progressive This function is useful to display relatively slow-moving images such as drama and documentary more clearly. This mode optimizes the image by esti­mating the movement of a number of pre­ceding and succeeding frames.
Film Mode Reproduces the image of film source clearly. Displays the optimized image of film transformed with three-two pull down (NTSC and PAL60Hz) or two-two pull down (PAL50Hz and SECAM) enhance­ment to progressive mode images. * The film source is a digital video record-
ing with the original encoded as is at 24 frames/second. The projector can con­vert this film source to progressive video at 60 frames/second with NTSC and PAL60Hz or at 50 frames/second with PAL50Hz and SECAM to play back a high-definition image.
When using progressive inputs, these inputs are directly displayed therefore 2D Progressive, 3D Progressive and Film Mode cannot be selected. These modes can be selected in interlace signals other than 1080
I.
In NTSC or PAL60Hz, even if the 3D Pro­gressive mode has been set, the three­two pull down enhancement will be en­abled automatically, when the film source has been entered.
In PAL50Hz or SECAM, the two-two pull down enhancement will be enabled only in the Film Mode, when the film source has been entered.

Cleaning the lens
Use a commercially available blower or lens cleaning paper (for glasses and camera lenses) for cleaning 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, be sure not to scrape or hit the lens.
Cleaning the exhaust and intake vents
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean dust from the exhaust vent and the intake vent.
Maintenance
Cleaning the projector
Ensure that you have unplugged the power cord 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 on the pro­jector for long time.
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
neutral 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 projector before using.

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 indicator and on-screen display icon are illuminated or flash, 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 with 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 remove the damaged lamp and assure safe operation.
Replacing the Lamp
Caution
Do not remove the lamp unit immediately after operation of the projector. The lamp will be hot and touching it can lead to 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.

(RS-232C) Specifications and Command Settings
PC control
A computer can be used to control the projector by connecting an RS-232C serial control cable (cross type, commer­cially available) to the projector. (See page 22 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. Parity bit: None Baud rate: 9,600 bps Stop bit: 1 bit Data length: 8 bits 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.
Info
When more than one code is being sent, send each command only after the response code for the previous command from the projector is verified.
To conserve power in STANDBY mode, the CPU in this model will enter Deep Sleep mode approximately 10 seconds after the last command is received. In the case of transmitting commands during Deep Sleep mode, it takes a maximum of 30 seconds until the response code is received. If subsequent commands are sent to the projector within 10 seconds, the projector will reply immediately. If no further commands are received within 10 seconds, the projector will again return to Deep Sleep mode. Please note that Deep Sleep mode is only activated in STANDBY mode. There is no delayed RS-232C response when the projector is in operation.
Special commands, “POWR????” and “TLPS
_ _ _
1” are available for applications that require continuous polling. These commands will not wake the CPU in Deep Sleep mode and the projector will provide immediate reply in STANDBY mode. “1” will indicate Power on, “0” will indicate STANDBY mode. When the power is turned on during standby with the “POWER ON” command, wait for at least 40 seconds after the power has been turned on, and then transmit the next command.
We suggest disabling the AUTO SEARCH feature before initiating RS-232C communications. If AUTO SEARCH is enabled, it will be necessary to send the STANDBY mode command “POWR_ _ _0” two times to power down the projector. (The first “POWR_ _ _0” command cancels AUTO SEARCH and the second “POWR_ _ _0” command will put the projector into the standby mode.)
Note
Do not repeatedly or periodically send any commands other than “POWR????” and “TLPS_ _ _1” in STANDBY mode as it will cause problems.
When the projector is put into the standby mode, a message “Shutting Down. Please Wait.” is displayed for about 20 seconds. At that time, if the “POWR_ _ _1” command is being sent, “ERR” will be returned and this command is not received.
When using the computer control function of the projector, the adjustment values cannot be read by the computer. Therefore, confirm the values by transmitting the display commands (e.g. “RARE_ _ _0”) for each adjustment menu and checking the values with the on-screen display. If the projector receives adjustment/setting commands other than menu display commands, it will execute the commands without displaying the on-screen display.
Commands
Example:
When “BRIGHT” of INPUT 1 image adjustment is set to –10.

Computer Compatibility Chart
Note
This projector may not be able to display images from notebook computers in simultaneous (CRT/LCD) mode. Should this occur, turn off
the LCD display on the notebook computer and output the display data in “CRT only” mode. Details on how to change display modes can be found in your notebook computer’s operation manual.
When this projector receives 640 × 350 VESA format VGA signals, “640 × 400” appears on the screen.
When receiving 1,600 × 1,200 VESA format signals, sampling occurs and part of the image may be cut as the image is displayed in 1,024 lines.
Optimum image quality will be achieved by matching your computer’s output resolution to the projector’s native resolution (1024 × 768).
Multiple signal support
Horizontal Frequency: 15–126 kHz, Vertical Frequency: 43–200 Hz*, Pixel Clock: 12–230 MHz
Compatible with sync on green and composite sync signals
UXGA and SXGA compatible in advanced intelligent compression
AICS (Advanced Intelligent Compression and Expansion System) resizing technology
The following is a list of modes that conform to VESA. However, this projector supports other signals that are not VESA standards.
