This unit has some inactive pixels within acceptable tolerances which
may result in inactive dots on the picture screen. This will not affect
the picture quality or the life expectancy of the unit.

This SHARP projector uses a DMD panel. This very sophisticated
panel contains 786,432 (PG-M15X)/480,000 (PG-M15S) pixels. As
with any high technology electronic equipment such as large screen
TVs, video systems and video cameras, there are certain acceptable
tolerances that the equipment must conform to.

Specifications are subject to change without notice.

IMPORTANT SERVICE SAFETY NOTES (for USA)

Ë Service work should be performed only by qualified service technicians who are

thoroughly familiar with all safety checks and servicing guidelines as follows:

WARNING

1. For continued safety, no modification of any circuit
should be attempted.

2. Disconnect AC power before servicing.

BEFORE RETURNING THE PROJECTOR:
(Fire & Shock Hazard)

Before returning the projector to the user, perform
the following safety checks:

1. Inspect lead wires are not pinched between the
chassis and other metal parts of the projector.

2. Inspect all protective devices such as non-metallic
control knobs, insulating materials, cabinet backs,
adjustment and compartment covers or shields,
isolation resistor-capacity networks, mechanical
insulators, etc.

3. To be sure that no shock hazard exists, check for
current leakage in the following manner:

» Plug the AC cord directly into a 120-volt AC outlet,

(Do not use an isolation transformer for this test).

» Using two clip leads, connect a 1.5k ohm, 10 watt

resistor paralleled by a 0.15µF capacitor in parallel
between all exposed metal cabinet parts and earth
ground.

» Use an AC voltmeter with sensitivity of 5000 ohm

per volt., or higher, sensitivity to measure the AC
voltage drop across the resistor (See Diagram).

» All checks must be repeated with the AC plug

connection reversed. (If necessary, a non-polarized
adapter plug must be used only for the purpose of
completing these checks.)
Any reading of 0.3 volts RMS (this corresponds to

0.2 milliamp. A C .) or more is e xcessiv e and indicates
a potential shock hazard which must be corrected
before returning the unit to the owner.

SAFETY NOTICE

Many electrical and mechanical parts in Projector have
special safety-related characteristics.
These characteristics are often not evident from visual
inspection, nor can protection afforded by them be
necessarily increased by using replacement
components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc.
Replacement parts which have these special safety
characteristics are identified in this manual; electrical
components having such features are identified b y “å”
and shaded areas in the Replacement Parts Lists and
Schematic Diagrams. For continued protection,
replacement parts must be identical to those used in
the original circuit. The use of a substitute replacement
parts which do not have the same safety characteristics
as the factory recommended replacement parts shown
in this service manual, may create shock, fire or other
hazards.

AVIS POUR LA SECURITE

De nombreuses pièces, électriques et mécaniques, dans
les projecteur à présentent des caractéristiques
spéciales relatives à la sécurité, qui ne sont souvent
pas évidentes à vue.
Le degré de protection ne peut pas être nécessairement
augmentée en utilisant des pièces de remplacement
étalonnées pour haute tension, puissance, etc.
Les pièces de remplacement qui présentent ces
caractéristiques sont identifiées dans ce manuel;
les pièces électriques qui présentent ces particularités
sont identifiées par la marque “å” et hachurées dans
la liste des pièces de remplacement et les diagrammes
schématiques. Pour assurer la protection, ces pièces
doivent être identiques à celles utilisées dans le circuit
d’origine. L’utilisation de pièces qui n’ont pas les mêmes
caractéristiques que les pièces recommandées par
l’usine, indiquées dans ce manuel, peut provoquer des
électrocutions, incendies ou autres accidents.

WARNING: The bimetallic component has the primary

conductive side exposed. Be very careful in
handling this component when the power is on.

AVERTISSEMENT:La composante bimétallique dispose du

conducteur primaire dénudé. Faire
attention lors de la manipulation de cette
composante sous tension.

NOTE TO SERVICE
PERSONNEL

UV-RADIATION PRECAUTION

The light source, metal halide lamp, in the pr ojector
emits small amounts of UV-Radiation.

AVOID DIRECT EYE AND SKIN EXPOSURE.

To ensure safety please adhere to the following:

1. Be sure to wear sun-glasses when servicing the
projector with the lamp
turned “on” and the top
enclosure removed.

2. Do not operate the lamp outside of the lamp housing.

NO TE POUR LE PERSONNEL
D’ENTRETIEN

PRECAUTION POUR LES RADIATIONS UV

La source de lumière, la lampe métal halide,
dans le projecteur émet de petites quantités de
radiation UV.

EVITEZ TOUTE EXPOSITION DIRECTE
DES YEUX ET DE LA PEAU.

Pour v otre sécurité, nous vous prions de respecter
les points suivants:

1. Toujours por ter des lunettes de soleil lors d’un
entretien du projecteur
avec la lampe allumée
et le haut du coffret retiré.

2. Ne pas faire fonctionner la lampe à l’extérieur du
boîtier de lampe.

3. Do not operate for more than 2 hours with the
enclosure removed.

UV-Radiation and Medium Pressure
Lamp Precautions

1. Be sure to disconnect the AC plug when replacing
the lamp.

2. Allow one hour for the unit to cool down before
servicing.

3. Replace only with same type lamp. Type
9HJ7083119001 or BQC-PGM15X//1 rated 85V/
130W.

4. The lamp emits small amounts of UV-Radiation,
avoid direct-eye contact.

5. The medium pressure lamp involves a risk of
explosion. Be sure to follow installation instructions
described below and handle the lamp with care.

3. Ne pas faire fonctionner plus de 2 heures avec le
coffret retiré.

Précautions pour les radiations UV
et la lampe moyenne pression

1. Toujours débrancher la fiche AC lors du
remplacement de la lampe.

2. Laisser l’unité refroidir pendant une heure avant de
procéder à l’entretien.

3. Ne remplacer qu’avec une lampe du même type.
Type 9HJ7083119001 ou BQC-PGM15X//1
caractéristique 85V/130W.

4. La lampe émet de petites quantités de radiation UV ­éviter tout contact direct avec les yeux.

Lamp Replacement

Note:

Since the lamp reaches a very high temperature
during units operation replacement of the lamp
should be done at least one hour after the power
has been turned off. (to allow the lamp to cool off.)
Installing the new lamp, make sure not to touch the
lamp (bulb) replace the lamp by holding its reflector

Remplacement de la lampe

Remarque:

Comme la lampe devient très chaude pendant le
fonctionnement de l’unité, son remplacement ne doit
être effectué au moins une heure après avoir coupé
l’alimentation (pour permettre à la lampe de refroidir).
En installant la nouvelle lampe, s’assurer de ne pas
toucher la lampe (ampoule). Remplacer la lampe en
tenant son réflecteur 2.

de hautes tensions à sa mise en route.

Since small amounts of UV-Radiation are emitted
from an opening between the duct cover and the lamp
housing, it is recommended to place the LENS CAP
on the opening during servicing to avoid eye and
skin exposure (Fig. 1).

Note: Please obtai n a l ens cap be fore servicing a

models PG-M15X/M15S that is received with­out one.

LENS CAP CAPUCHON D'OPTIQUE

Comme de petites quantités de radiation UV sont
émises par une ouverture entre le couvercle du con­duit et le botier de la lampe,il est recommandé de
placer le CAPUCHON D'OPTIQUE sur l'ouverture
pendant l'entretien pour éviter une exposition des
yeux et la peau (Fig. 1).

Remarque: Priére de se procurer un capuchon
