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 “Regarding the Lamp” on
page 61.

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.

■ 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. 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 59 and 60). 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, mak e 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 f an ma y
change during projector operation due to
changes in the fan speed. This does not
indicate malfunction.

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 59 for details.

Using the Remote Control

Introduction

Usable Range

The remote control can be used to control the
projector within the ranges shown in the il­lustration.

Note

•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:

•Take care 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.

3 Insert the lower tab of the cover

into the opening, and lower the
cover until it clicks in place.

Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please follow the precautions below.

Caution

•Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with alkaline or manganese batteries.

•Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the

ment.

•Batteries of different types have different properties, therefore do not mix batteries of different types.

•Do not mix new and old batteries.

This may shorten the life of new batteries or may cause old batteries to leak.

•Remove the batteries from the remote control once they have run out, as leaving them in can cause them to leak.
Battery fluid from leaked batteries is harmful to skin, therefore ensure you wipe them first and then remove them
using a cloth.

•The batteries included with this projector may run down in a short period, depending on how they are kept. Be
sure to replace them as soon as possible with new batteries.

•Remove the batteries from the remote control if you will not be using the remote control for a long time.

•Comply with the rules (ordinance) of each local government when disposing of worn-out batteries.

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 MANU AL” con­tained on the supplied CD-ROM.)
