IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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 Projector Dealer or Service Center for replacement.
See “Regarding the Lamp” on
page 61.
CAUTION
PRECAUCIÓN
PRÉCAUTION
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.
The projector may be safely tilted to a
maximum angle of 9 degrees.
■ Placement should be within ±9 degrees of
horizontal.
When using the projector in high-altitude
areas such as mountains (at altitudes of
approximately 1,500 meters (4,900 feet)
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.
-8
Warning about placing the projector in a
high position
■ When placing the projector in a high position, make certain it is carefully secured to
avoid personal injury caused by the projector falling down.
Do not subject the projector to hard impact and/or vibration.
■ Ta ke 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. Take regular
breaks to 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 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 protection circuit will automatically put the projector into standby mode to prevent overheat
damage. This does not indicate a malfunction (see pages 59 and 60). 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.
Caution regarding usage of the projector
■ When using the projector, take care not to subject 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, make certain you 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 storing the projector, ensure you attach
the lens cap to the projector. (See page 12.)
■ 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 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.
Introduction
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.
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, make
sure you use an 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 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 59 for details.

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.

• 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 COMPUTER/COMPONENT 1, 2 or DVI-D with “Signal Type”
set to “Auto” or “RGB”, the image may not be projected as desired. In this case, use either Video or S-Video.
• Depending on the computer you are using, the output signal may not be faithful to the “Screen resolution”
adjustment. Check the settings of the computer’s signal output. If the settings cannot be changed, it is recommended that the resolution be set to the one that corresponds to “1280 × 800”.

Check
• Projector power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.
• Power to the external connected devices is off.
• The selected input mode is wrong.
• The AV MUTE function is working.
• Cables incorrectly connected to the rear panel of the projector.
• Remote control batteries have run out.
•
External output has not been set when connecting notebook computer.
• The filter cover, lamp unit cover or lamp housing cover is not
installed correctly.
• If the connected DVI digital equipment is turned on before the
“DVI-D” input mode is selected on the projector, the image may
not be projected properly or may not be displayed at all. Ensure
that the appropriate input mode has been selected on the
projector before you turn on the connected equipment.
• Cables incorrectly connected to the rear panel of the projector.
• “Bright” is set to minimum position.
• Depending on the computer you are using, an image may not
be projected unless the signal output setting of the computer is
switched to the external output. Refer to the computer’s
operation manual for how to switch its signal output settings.
• Image adjustments are incorrectly set.
(Video, S-Video Input only)
• Video input system is incorrectly set.
(COMPUTER/COMPONENT 1, 2, DVI-D only)
• Input signal type (RGB/Component) is incorrectly set.
• Adjust the focus.
• The projection distance exceeds the focus range.
• There is fog on the lens. If the projector is carried from a cold
room into a warm room, or if it is suddenly heated,
condensation may form on the surface of the lens and the
image will become blurred. Please set up the projector at least
one hour before it is to be used. If condensation should form,
remove the power cord from the wall outlet and wait for it to
clear.
• Cables incorrectly connected to the rear panel of the projector.
• Volume is set to minimum.
• When the projector is connected to an external device and the
volume is set to minimum, the sound is not output even if you
turn up the volume of the external device.
• “Speaker” is set to “Off”.
