Be sure to 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
Projector Dealer or Service
Center for a replacement.
See “Replacing the Lamp” on
page 55.

AN-XR1LP

Caution 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 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 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.

Caution regarding placing of the projec­tor.

■ Place the projector on a level site within the
adjustment range of the adjustment foot.

Do not turn the projector upside down
immediately after putting into standby
mode.

■ This may cause burns due to rise in tempera­ture of the lamp unit cover.

Warning about placing the projector in
a high position

■ When placing the projector in a high position,
be sure to secure it carefully to avoid per­sonal injury caused by the projector falling
down.

Do not subject the projector to hard im­pact 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. Be sure to occa­sionally rest your eyes.

Avoid locations with extremes of tem­perature.

■ The operating temperature of the projector is
from 41°F to 95°F (+5°C to +35°C).

■ The storage temperature of 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 11 13/16 inches (30 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 standby mode to prevent overheat
damage. This does not indicate a malfunc­tion. (See pages 53 and 54.) 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.

■ When turning off the projector, the cooling fan
runs to decrease the internal temperature for
a while. Unplug the power cord after the cool­ing fan stops. The period the cooling fan runs
will vary, depending on the circumstances and
the internal temperature.

8

Caution regarding 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 care
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.

■ Do not carry the projector by holding the lens.

■ When transporting the projector, be sure to

place the projector in the supplied soft case.
(See page 11.)

Other connected equipment

■ When connecting a computer or other audio­visual 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 an appropriate power cord for the coun­try you are in.

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 cause
damage due to rise in internal temperature,
as the cooling fan also stops.

Introduction

Temperature monitor function

■

If the projector starts to overheat due to setup
problems or blockage of the air vents, “ ” and
“ ” will illuminate 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 standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance
Indicators” on page 53 for details.

Setting up the Projector

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

• 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 screen 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. (See page 19.)

Projection from behind the
Screen

■ Place a translucent screen between the pro­jector and the audience.

■ Reverse the image by setting “Rear” in the
“PRJ Mode” menu. (See page 46.)

Projection Using a Mirror

■ Place a mirror (normal flat type) in front of
the lens.

■ When the translucent screen is placed be­tween the mirror and audience, set to “Front”
in the “PRJ Mode” menu. (See page 46.)

■ When the mirror is placed on the audience
side, set to “Rear” in the “PRJ Mode” menu.

Maintenance

Cleaning the projector

■ Be sure to unplug 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 to the
projector for long periods.
The effects of some of the agents in the plastic
may cause damage to the quality or finish of the
projector.

Mild detergent

Mild detergent diluted

with water

Thinner

Wax

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.

■ 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 projector before use.

52

Maintenance Indicators

■ The warning lights (ON/STANDBY button, lamp indicator and temperature warning indicator) on
the projector indicate problems inside the projector.

■ If a problem occurs, either the temperature warning indicator or the lamp indicator will illuminate
red, and the projector will enter standby mode. After the projector has entered standby mode,
follow the procedures given below.

ON/STANDBY button

Lamp indicator

Temperature warning indicator

About the temperature warning indicator

If the temperature inside the projector increases, due to blockage of the air vents, or the setting location,
“ ” will illuminate in the lower left corner of the picture. If the temperature keeps on rising, the lamp
will turn off and the temperature warning indicator will blink, the cooling fan will run, and then the projec­tor will enter standby mode. After “ ” appears, be sure to perform the measures described on page

54.

About the lamp indicator

■ When the remaining lamp life becomes 5% or less, (yellow) and “Change The Lamp” will be
displayed on the screen. When the percentage becomes 0%, it will change to (red), the lamp will
automatically turn off and then the projector will automatically enter standby mode. At this time, the
lamp indicator will illuminate in red.

■ If you try to turn on the projector a fourth time without replacing the lamp, the projector will
not turn on.

• Clogged air intake

• The lamp is shut
down abnormally.

• Remaining lamp life
becomes 5% or
less.

• Burnt-out lamp

• Lamp circuit failure

• The lamp unit cover
is open.

Possible Solution

• Relocate the projector to
an area with proper
ventilation. (see page 8)

• Take the projector to your
nearest Sharp Authorized
Projector Dealer or Service
Center (see page 62) for
repair.

• Disconnect the power cord
from the AC outlet, and
then connect it again.

• Carefully replace the lamp.
(See page 56.)

• Take the projector to your
nearest Sharp Authorized
Projector Dealer or Service
Center (see page 62) for
repair.

• Please exercise care when
replacing the lamp.

• Securely install the cover.

• If the power indicator blinks
in red even when the lamp
unit cover is securel
installed, contact your
nearest Sharp Authorized
Projector Dealer or Service
Center (see page 62) for
advice.

Info

• If the temperature warning indicator illuminates, and the projector enters standby mode, follow the
possible solutions above and then wait until the projector has cooled down completely before plug­ging in the power cord and turning the power back on. (At least 10 minutes.)

• If the power is turned off for a brief moment due to power outage or some other cause while using
the projector, and the power supply recovers immediately after that, the lamp indicator will illumi­nate in red and the lamp may not be lit. In this case, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet,
replace the power cord in the AC outlet and then turn the power on again.

• If you want to clean the air vents during projector operation, be sure to press SON/STANDBY on
the projector or AON/STANDBY on the remote control and put the projector into standby mode.
After the cooling fan has stopped, clean the vents.

• The cooling fan keeps the internal temperature of the projector constant and this function is con­trolled automatically. The sound of the cooling fan may change during operation because the fan
speed may change and this is not a malfunction.

Regarding the Lamp

Lamp

■ It is recommended that the lamp (sold separately) 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 50)

■ Purchase a replacement lamp of type AN-XR1LP from your place of purchase, nearest Sharp Projector
Dealer or Service Center.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO U.S. CUSTOMERS:

The lamp included with this projector is backed by a 90-day parts and labor limited
warranty. All service of this projector under warranty, including lamp replacement,
must be obtained through a Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center.

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, 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.

■ 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.

U.S.A. ONLY
