SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 13A fuse. Should
the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked

or and of the same rating as
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 13A 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.

Be sure to read the following safeguards when setting up
your projector.

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

CAUTION

PRECAUCI
PR

CAUTION

page 71.

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.

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.

N

■ Continuously watching the screen for long
hours will make your eyes tired. Be sure to
rest your eyes sometimes.

Avoid locations with high or low tem­perature.

■ The operating temperature for the projector
is from 41°F to 95°F (+5°C to +35°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 11.8 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 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.

The projector may safely be tilted to
a maximum angle of 10 degrees.

■ Placement should be
within ±10 degrees.

PG-M25X#E#p08_20_a.p65 02.4.29, 4:56 PM11

Cautions regarding the transporta­tion of the projector

■ When transporting the projector, be sure not
to subject it to hard impact and/or vibration,

10

10

as this can result in damage. Take extra
caution with the lens. Before moving the
projector, be sure to retract the antenna and
the card eject button. Also, be sure to unplug
the power cord from the wall outlet, discon­nect any other cables connected to it and
retract the antenna.

-11

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (cont.)

Other connected equipment

■ When connecting a computer or other audio­visual 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.

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 70 for details.

Info

• The cooling fan regulates the internal tem-

perature, 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.

The GyroRemote

GyroRemote Features

This projector uses the GyroRemote technology, that allows for the following features when compared to
ordinary infrared remote controls.

RF Technology

With ordinary remote controls, the operation range is limited
because of directivity; they cannot operate if there are objects
between the projector and the remote.
The GyroRemote can operate up to a range of 15 m (49.2 feet) by
sending RF signals to the projector.

Note

•The control range measured is with the projector’s antenna fully extended.

•The control range under actual operating conditions may be less than optimum depending on where the

projector is placed.

Caution

Do not use the GyroRemote in restricted places, such as hospitals.

•Signals from the GyroRemote may affect electronic equipment or medical electronic equipment, thereby

causing accidents.

•When using the GyroRemote in medical institutions, make sure to follow the directives of each institution.

Operation Range: Area up to a 15 m

Multi-Projector Control

This projector has a GyroRemote identification function that makes possible to perform various operations
such as the ones below.

■ No interference even if other projectors of the same type are within the GyroRemote’s operating range.

■ Multiple projectors can be operated with one GyroRemote.

■ One projector can be operated using multiple GyroRemotes.

•Refer to page 40 for details about using the GyroRemote.

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.

Standard Setup (Front Projection)

■ Place the projector at the required distance from the screen
according to the desired picture size. (See page 24.)

• Film Mode

Reproduces the image of film source clearly.
Displays the optimized image of film
transformed with three-two pull down (NTSC
and PAL60Hz) or two-two pull down
(PAL50Hz and SECAM) enhancement to
progressive mode images.
*

The film source is a digital video recording
with the original encoded as is at 24 frames/
second. The projector can convert this film
source to progressive video at 60 frames/
second with NTSC and PAL60Hz or at 50
frames/second with PAL50Hz and SECAM
to play back a high-definition image.

Using the Network

Before setting the network

This section explains items that can be set in a network. A wireless connection will not be possible if these
items are not set correctly.
Also, as there are values that must be entered in a pre-configured network, make sure to consult with your
network administrator.

IP Address

■ When What is an IP Address?

The IP Address is a number for identifying devices connected to the network. An IP address must be
assigned to each device using network values.

Connecting the projector and a computer via a wireless connection is the same as the computer and
projector being connected to a wireless LAN network. Therefore, if the projector (and computer) is not
assigned an IP address, they cannot be identified and thus a wireless connection cannot be possible.

192.168.150.151

192.168.150.150

192.168.150.152

192.168.150.153

192.168.150.154

■ Assigning IP addresses

When creating a local network where the projector and a computer are connected in a wireless environment,

192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.254 can be assigned as the IP addresses for the devices connected to that
network.
The IP address of the projector is 192.168.0.1 and as long as there are no conflicts, the default settings do
not have to be changed.

Example

• Projector ................192.168.150.150

• Computer (no. 1) ...192.168.150.151

• Computer (no. 2) ...192.168.150.152

For settings, see page 70.

This projector comes with a DHCP server function that automatically assigns IP addresses to devices
connected to the network.
For details, see page 70.

Note

•The range of IP addresses that can be assigned in a local network is fixed.

•IP stands for Internet Protocol.

PG-M25X#E#p65_77.p65 02.4.29, 3:18 PM66

Wireless Channels

■ What is a wireless channel?

A wireless channel is a frequency used by wireless LAN cards when communicating. 14 channels can be
used. If other wireless LAN networks are being used near the location where the projector is, make sure
that different channels have been set to avoid interference.

■ Assigned wireless channels

If there are no other networks that can cause interference nearby, set either 1, 6, 13, or 14.
The wireless channel set in the projector is 192.168.0.1 and as long as there are no conflicts, the default
settings do not have to be changed.

For settings, see page 71.

DHCP server function

■ What is a DHCP function?

The DHCP server function automatically assigns IP addresses to devices connected to the network. When
the Network Settings on the computer have been set to Automatically get IP address (DHCP server enabled),
the projector will automatically assign IP addresses.

Easy to Use Functions

Make the following settings when using this function
Set the DHCP server function on the projector to ON.
Set the start value of the IP address assigned and an expected number of IP address to be automatically
assigned (Maximum number to be assigned).

For settings, see page 73.

Note

•DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
