Introduction
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 65.
BQC-PGB10S//1
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 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.
The projector may be safely tilted to a maximum angle of 12 degrees.
Placement should be within ±12 degrees of horizontal.
If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection cir-
cuit 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.
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 attach the
lens shipping block and the lens cap to the projector.
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 an appropriate power cord for the country you are in.
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 7 7/8 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.
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 the standby mode. Refer to Maintenance Indicators on page 63 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 cool-
ing fan operation. This can cause damage due to rise in internal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.

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 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.
A polarizing screen cannot be used with this projector.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)
Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size. (See page 57.)

Maintenance Indicators
Info
If the temperature warning indicator illuminates, and the projector enters the standby mode, follow the pos-
sible solutions on the previous page and then wait until the projector has cooled down completely before plugging in the power cord and turning the power back on. (At least 5 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 put the projector into the standby
mode. After the cooling fan has stopped, clean the vents.
The cooling fan keeps the internal temperatures 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.
Do not unplug the power cord after the projector has entered the standby mode and while the cooling fan is
running. The cooling fan runs for about 90 seconds.

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 41.
For lamp replacement, please consult your nearest Sharp Authorized 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. For the name of the nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center, please call toll-free: 1-888-GO-SHARP (1-888-467-4277).

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 remove the damaged lamp and assure safe operation.
U.S.A. ONLY

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 projecting the RGB interlace signal using INPUT 1 with “Signal Type” set to “Auto” or “RGB”, the
image may not be projected as desired. In this case, select either INPUT 2 (S-Video) or INPUT 3 (Video).

Glossary

Anti-Theft
If the “Keycode” set in the projector is not correctly entered, the projector will not operate even if sig­nals are entered.
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 auto­matically 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 tem­perature to suit the type of image input to the pro­jector. 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.
Gamma
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.
Intelligent compression
High quality resizing of lower and higher resolu­tion images to fit the projectors native resolution.
Keylock
Mode that can lock the operation of projector but­tons to prevent unauthorized adjustment.
Keystone Correction
Function to digitally correct a distorted image when the projector is set up at an angle, smooth­ens out jaggies on keystone images and com­presses the image not only horizontally but verti­cally keeping the 4:3 aspect ratio.
Lens shift
Function to adjust the position of the projection image by using the lens shift lever to move the lens from side to side and up and down (360°).
Password
A password is set so that changes cannot be made in the “Anti-Theft” 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.
Resize
Allows you to modify or customize the picture dis­play 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 LCD 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.
