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.
CAUTION PRECAUCION PRECAUTION
AN-MB60LP
See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 64.
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 12 degrees.
Placement should be within ±12 degrees of horizontal.
Warning about placing the projector in a high position
When placing the projector in a high posi­tion, ensure to secure it carefully to avoid per­sonal injury caused by the projector falling down.
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. Ensure to occa­sionally rest your eyes.
Avoid locations with extremes of tem­perature.
The operating temperature of the projector is from 41°F to 104°F (+5°C to +40°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 62 and 63.). 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.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Caution regarding usage of the projector
When using the projector, ensure 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, ensure to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables connected to it.
Do not use the projector by holding the lens.
When storing the projector, ensure to attach
the lens cap to the projector. (See page 11.)
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.
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 cause damage due to rise in internal tem­perature, as the cooling fan also stops.
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, ensure to 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 62 for details.

Setting up the Projector

Setting up the Projector

Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with the projector’s 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 projector in a sunny or bright room.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)
Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size. (For details, refer to page 2 of the “SETUP GUIDE” contained on the supplied CD-ROM.)
