SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 5A 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 5A socket outlet, as a serious
electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
WARNING:
THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.

This SHARP projector uses a DMD panel. This very sophisticated panel contains 786,432 pixels micromirrors. 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.
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.

damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the product to normal
operation.
e. If the product has been dropped or damaged in any
way.
f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance, this indicates a need for service.
19. Replacement Parts

recommended by the manufacturer.
22. Heat
This product should be situated away from heat sources such
as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Ensure that you 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.
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.

• The signal from the remote control can be
reflected off a screen for easy operation.
However, the effective distance of the signal may differ depending on the screen
material.
When using the remote control:
• Ensure not to drop, expose to moisture or high
temperature.
• The remote control may malfunction under a
fluorescent lamp. In this case, move the projector away from the fluorescent lamp.

cap to the lens, and place it in the supplied
storage case.
1 Open the cover of the storage
case.
2 Place the projector into the stor-
age case.
Info
• Ensure the projector has cooled down
sufficiently before placing it in the case.

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.)
