SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 10A fuse. Should
the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked
above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the
mains plug and fit an appropriate type.
DANGER:
The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of
in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 10A socket outlet, as a serious
electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug.
Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:
• If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.
• The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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 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.
The projector may safely be tilted to a maximum
angle of 12 degrees.
■ Placement should be within ±12 degrees.
■ Be sure that the intake vent and the exhaust vent are
not obstructed.
■ If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection circuit will automatically turn off the projector. 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 turning off the projector and 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.
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
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 104°F (+5°C to +40°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.
-8
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 power will shut off. 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.
How to Access the PDF Operation Manuals (Windows, Macintosh)
PDF operation manuals in several languages are included in the CD-ROM, so that you can

Available Range of the Remote Control
■ The remote control can be used to control the projector
within the ranges shown in the illustration.
Introduction
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:
• Be sure not to drop, expose 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.

Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please follow the precautions below.
Caution
• 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 be sure to 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.

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.
An optional lens (AN-C12MZ) from Sharp is 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.)

Regarding the Lamp
Lamp
■ It is recommended that the lamp (sold separately) be replaced when the remaining lamp life be-
comes 6% 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 70.
■ 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 or flash, it is rec-
ommended 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.
U.S.A. ONLY
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.
■ If the new lamp does not light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Autho-
rized Projector Dealer or Service Center for repair. Purchase a replacement lamp unit of type BQCXGC50X//1 from your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center. Then carefully
change the lamp by following the instructions described in this section. If you wish, you may have

• When using the computer control function of the projector, the projector’s operating status cannot be read by
the computer. Therefore, confirm the status by transmitting the display commands for each adjustment
menu and checking the status with the on-screen display. If the projector receives a command other than a
menu display command, it will execute the command without displaying the on-screen display.
Commands
Example:
• When “BRIGHT” of INPUT 1 image adjustment is set to –10.

• The signal in INPUT 1 or 2 is set to a resolution that exceeds
SXGA.
• The signal in INPUT 1 or 2 is sending Component signals 480I,
480P, 540P, 580I, 580P, 720P, 1035I or 1080I.
• The signal in INPUT 1 or 2 is set to interlace mode using RGB
signals.
• The Keylock level is set.
If the Keylock level is set to Level B, all the buttons are locked.
If the Keylock level is set to Level A, only the INPUT and
VOLUME buttons are functional.
• Change the input signal type setting.
• The lamp replacement indicator is blinking in red. Replace the
lamp.
• Picture adjustments are incorrectly set.
The VOLUME buttons do not work when: (try the VOL+/– on the
remote control)
• when the menu is displayed
• when the lens menu is displayed
• when Pict in Pict is working
• during Enlarge (More than double size)
• a dot by dot screen resolution larger the panel resolution
• In the case of transmitting RS-232C commands from a
computer during standby, it takes a maximum of 30 seconds for
the computer to receive the response code. Set the response
code waiting time of the computer to 30 seconds or more.
