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:
WARNING:
THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.

WARNING:
The cooling fan in this projector continues to run for about 90 seconds after the projector enters the standby mode. During normal operation, when putting the projector into standby mode always use the STANDBY button on the projector or on the remote control. Ensure the cooling fan has stopped before storing the projector in the storage case. DURING NORMAL OPERATION, NEVER TURN THE PROJECTOR OFF BY DISCONNECTING THE POWER CORD. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS WILL RESULT IN PREMATURE LAMP FAILURE.
PRODUCT DISPOSAL
This projector utilizes tin-lead solder, and a pressurized lamp containing a small amount of mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or, if you are located in the United States of America, the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org .
Caution Concerning Lamp Replacement
See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 60.
This SHARP projector uses an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panel. This very sophisticated panel contains 786,432 pixels (x RGB) TFT’s (Thin Film Transistors). 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.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Ensure that you 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 replacement. See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 60.
CAUTION PRECAUCIÓN PRÉCAUTION
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 9 degrees.
Placement should be within ±9 degrees of horizontal.
When using the projector in high-altitude areas such as mountains (at altitudes of approximately 1,500 meters (4,900 feet) or more)
When you use the projector in high-altitude areas with thin air, set “Fan Mode” to “High”. Neglecting this can affect the longevity of the optical system.
-8
Warning about placing the projector in a high position
When placing the projector in a high posi­tion, make certain it is carefully secured to avoid personal injury caused by the projec­tor falling down.
Do not subject the projector to hard im­pact and/or vibration.
Ta ke 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. Take regular breaks to rest your eyes.
Avoid locations with extremes of tem­perature.
The operating temperature of the projector is from 41°F to 95°F (+5°C to +35°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 58 and 59). 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.
Caution regarding usage of the projector
When using the projector, take care 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, make certain you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables connected to it.
Do not carry the projector by holding the lens.
When storing the projector, ensure you attach the lens cap to the projector. (See page 12.)
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.
Introduction
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.
Even if you unplug the power cord after projector operation, the cooling fan con­tinues to run for a while. When you place the projector into the storage case, make sure that the cooling fan has stopped.
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, make sure you 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 58 for details.

Setting Up the Projector

Setting Up the Projector

For optimal image quality, position the projector perpendicular to the screen with the projector’s feet flat and level. Doing so will eliminate the need for Keystone correction and provide the best image quality. (See page 32.)
Standard Setup (Front Projection)
Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size. (For details, refer to the “SETUP MANUAL” con­tained on the supplied CD-ROM.)
Example of standard setup
