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 and filter must be cleaned more often. Periodically the filter should be replaced and the projector should be cleaned internally. As long as the projector is properly maintained in this manner, use in these environments will not reduce the overall operation life. Please note that all internal cleaning must be performed by an Authorized Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer or Service Center.
Notes on Operation
The exhaust vent, the lamp cage cover and adjacent areas may be extremely hot during projector operation. To prevent injury, do not touch these areas until they have sufficiently cooled.
Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between the cooling fan (exhaust vent) and the nearest wall or obstruction.
If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection device will automatically turn off the projector lamp. This does not indicate a malfunction. Remove the projector power cord from the wall outlet and wait at least 10 minutes. Then turn on the power by plugging the power cord back in. This will return the projector to the normal operating condition.

Setting up the Screen

H
L
X
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image. Move the projector forward or backward if the edges of the image are distorted.
The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.
Position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly onto the screen washes out 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 the table below).

Using the Adjustment Foot
You can adjust the height of the image by raising the projector with the foot release.
1 Press the foot release and lift the projector to the
desired angle. (Adjustable up to approximately 5° from the standard position.)
2 Remove your hand from the foot release. Once
Foot release
the adjustment foot has locked in position, release the projector.
3 If the screen is at an angle, the adjuster can be
used to adjust the angle of the image. (Adjustable up to approximately 1° from the original position.)
Returning the projector to its original position
While holding the projector, press the foot release and slowly lower the projector to its original position.
When an adjustment is made, the image may become distorted (keystoned), depending on the relative positions of the projector and the screen.
CAUTION
Do not press the foot release when the adjustment foot is extended without firmly holding the projector.
Do not hold the lens when lifting or lowering the projector.
When lowering the projector, be careful not to get your fingers caught in the area between the adjustment foot and the
projector.
Reversed Image Setup
Rear projection
Place a translucent screen between the projector and the audience.
Use the projectors menu system to reverse the projected image. (See page 44 for use of this function.)
Projection using a mirror
When the distance between the projector and screen is not sufficient for normal rear projection, you can use a mirror to reflect the image onto the screen.
Place a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens.
Project the normal image onto the mirror.
The image reflected from the mirror is projected onto
the translucent screen.
Optimal image quality can be achieved when the projector is positioned perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level.
CAUTION
When using a mirror, be sure to carefully position both the projector and the mirror so the light does not shine into the eyes of the audience.
Ceiling-mount Setup
It is recommended that you use the optional Sharp ceiling­mount bracket for this installation.
Before mounting the projector, contact your nearest Authorized Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer or Service Center to obtain the recommended ceiling-mount bracket (sold separately). (AN-XGCM53 ceiling-mount bracket, AN-EP101B extension tube for AN-XGCM53.)
When the projector is in the inverted position, use the upper edge of the screen as the base line.
Use the projectors menu system to select the appropriate projection mode. (See page 44 for use of this function.)

RS-232C Port Specifications

PC control
A computer can be used to control the projector by connecting an RS-232C cable (null modem, cross type, sold separately) to the projector. (See page 16 for connection.)
Communication conditions
Set the serial port settings of the computer to match that of the table. Signal format: Conforms to RS-232C standard. Baud rate: 9,600 bps Data length: 8 bits Parity bit: NONE Stop bit: 1 bit Flow control: None
Basic format
Commands from the computer are sent in the following order: command, parameter, and return code. After the projector processes the command from the computer, it sends a response code to the computer.
Command format
C1 C2 C3 C4 P1 P2 P3 P4
Return code (0DH)
Command 4-digits Parameter 4-digits
Response code format
Normal response
O K
Return code (0DH)
Problem response (communication error or incorrect command)
E R R
Return code (0DH)
When more than one code is being sent, send each command only after the OK response code for the previous command from the projector is verified.
When using the computer control function of the projector, the projector operating status cannot be read to the computer. Therefore, confirm the status by transmitting the display commands for each adjustment menu and checking the status with the On-screen Display. If the projector receives a command other than a menu display command, it will execute the com­mand without displaying the On-screen Display.

This projector may not be able to display images from notebook computers in simultaneous (CRT/LCD) mode. Should this occur, turn off the LCD display on the notebook computer and output the display data in CRT only mode. Details on how to change display modes can be found in your notebook computers operation manual.
This projector can receive 640 350 VESA format VGA signals, however, “640 400” will appear on the screen.
When receiving 1,600 1,200 VESA format UXGA signals, sampling occurs and the image is displayed with 1,024 lines,
causing part of the image to be blocked.

This SHARP projector uses LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panels. These very sophisticated panels contain 786,432 pixels ( RGB) TFTs (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.
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
This unit has some inactive TFTs within acceptable tolerances which may result in illuminated or inactive dots on the picture screen. This will not affect the picture quality or the life expectancy of the unit. If you have any questions about this matter, please call toll free 1-888­GO-SHARP (1-888-467-4277). U.S.A. ONLY

Glossary

Anti-aliasing digital keystone correction
Function to digitally correct a distorted image when the projector is set up at an angle.
Aspect ratio
Width and height ratio of an image. The normal aspect ratio of a computer and video image is 4 : 3. There are also wide images with an aspect ratio of 16 : 9 and 21 : 9.
Auto sync
Optimizes projected computer images by automatically adjusting certain characteristics.
Background
Initial setting image projected when no signal is being input.
Clock
Clock adjustment is used to adjust vertical noise when clock level is incorrect.
Compatibility
Ability to use with various image signal modes.
Composite sync
Signal combining horizontal and vertical sync pulses.
Dot by dot
Mode that projects images in their native resolution.
Fit to screen
Function to adjust an image without a 4 : 3 aspect ratio, and project it in a 4 : 3 ratio.
Freeze
Function to freeze a moving image.
GUI
Graphical User Interface. User interface with graphics that allow easier operation.
I/P conversion
Function to convert an image between “Interlaced” and “Progressive” scan displays.
Intelligent compression and expansion
High quality resizing of lower and higher resolution images to fit the projector’s native resolution.
Magnification
Digitally zooms in on a portion of an image.
PDF
Portable Document Format. Documentation format used to transfer text and images from the CD-ROM.
Phase
Phase shift is a timing shift between isomorphic signals with the same resolution. When phase level is incorrect, the projected image typically displays horizontal flicker.
Presentation tools
Helpful tools used to emphasize keypoints throughout a presentation.
RS-232C
Function to control the projector from the computer by using the RS-232C ports on the projector and computer.
Startup image
The image displayed when the projector is turned on.
Status function
Displays the settings of each adjustment item.
Sync
Synchronizes the resolution and phase shift of two signals. When receiving an image with a resolution different from that of the computer, the projected image may be distorted.
Sync on green
Video signal mode of a computer which overlaps horizontal and vertical sync signal to green color signal pin.
Wireless mouse
Function to operate the mouse control of a computer with the supplied remote control.
XGA resolution
Resolution with 1,024 768 pixels that uses the signal of an IBM/AT compatible (DOS/V) computer.
