SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 13A 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 13A socket outlet, as a serious electric shock may occur. To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:

IMPORTANT:

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.

• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red. Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug. Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:

• If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.

• The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

5. Do not place the LCD Projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The LCD Projector may fall, which may cause serious injury to a child or an adult, and/or serious damage to the unit.

6. Wall or Ceiling Mounting—The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

7. LCD Projector equipment and cart combinations should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the equipment and cart combination to overturn.

8. Slots and openings in the cabinet back and bottom are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the LCD Projector and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be covered with cloth or other material.

9. This LCD Projector should never be placed near or over a radiator or heating vent. The LCD Projector should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.

10. The LCD Projector should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the back of the projector or in the specifications. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your LCD Projector dealer or local power company.

11. Do not place the LCD Projector where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.

12. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the LCD Projector.

13. To prevent damage to the projector due to lightning and power-line surges, unplug the projector from the power outlet, when not in use.

Important Safeguards

LAMP REPLACEMENT CAUTION

BEFORE REMOVING THE SCREW, DISCONNECT POWER CORD. HOT SURFACE INSIDE ALLOW 1 HOUR TO COOL BEFORE REPLACING THE LAMP. REPLACE WITH SAME SHARP LAMP UNIT TYPE BQC-XGP20X//1 ONLY. UV RADIATION : CAN CAUSE EYE DAMAGE. TURN OFF LAMP BEFORE SERVICING. MEDIUM PRESSURE LAMP : RISK OF EXPLOSION. POTENTIAL HAZARD OF GLASS PARTICLES IF LAMP HAS RUPTURED. HANDLE WITH CARE. SEE OPERATION MANUAL.

CAUTION

PRECAUCIÓN PRÉCAUTION

Caution Concerning the Lamp Replacement

See “Replacing the Lamp” on pages 68 and 69.

Caution Concerning the Lamp Unit

Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp ruptures. In case of lamp rupture, contact your nearest Sharp Authorised LCD Projector Dealer or Service Centre for a replacement. See “Replacing the Lamp” on pages 68 and 69.

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 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 Authorised LCD Projector Dealer or Service Centre.

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 10 cm of space between the 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.

Important Safeguards

Temperature Monitor Function

If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems or a dirty air filter, “TEMP.” and “ ” will flash in the lowerleft corner of the picture. If the temperature continues to rise, the lamp will turn off, the TEMPERATURE WARNING indicator on the projector will flash, and after a 90-second cooling-off period the power will shut off. Refer to “Lamp/Maintenance Indicators” on page 67, for details.

• 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.

Using the Carrying Handle

When transporting the projector, carry it by the carrying handle on the side.

Information

Important

WARNING:

Setting Up the Screen

Using the Adjustment Feet

Press foot releases. Adjust height of projector

• The projector is adjustable up to approximately 10° from the standard position.

• When the height of the projector is adjusted, the image may become distorted (keystoned), depending on the relative

positions of the projector and the screen.

CAUTION

• Do not press the foot releases when the adjustment feet are 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 feet and the

projector.

and remove hands from foot releases.

UP DOWN

Rotate feet to make minor changes.

Setup & Connections

Using the Lens Shift

The picture can be adjusted within the shift range of the lens by rotating the dial on the top of the projector.

Projector Projected Image

Lens shift dial

DOWN

• The lens shift dial is set to the upper most position at the factory. Remember to adjust lower by turning the dial when operating the projector.

• The lens shift dial has two points to help orient the position. The centre of the lens and bottom of the screen are the same height (10:0) and

the centre of the lens and centre of the screen are the same height (5:5). When either position is reached by turning the dial, you will notice a slight latching feeling.

• Do not forcefully turn the lens shift dial beyond the 10:0 and 5:5 orientating positions; doing so may result in damaging the equipment.

• When the AN-P9MX of optional lens is attached, lens shift cannot be used.

• Do not touch the lens when adjusting the focus or zoom.

Keystone setting

Trapezoidal distortion is caused when the projector image is positioned away from the centre axis of the screen. This function allows you to correct the keystone effect for excellent picture quality.

• Straight lines and the edges of the displayed image may appear jagged, when adjusting the KEYSTONE setting.

V-size setting

During keystone correction an error can occur in the aspect ratio depending on the amount of lens shift. Use the V-SIZE fine-tuning function to correct this error.

• V-SIZE is only displayed and can only be adjusted when performing KEYSTONE correction.

Digital shift setting

For easier viewing, this function shifts the image projected on the screen up or down eliminating either the upper or lower black band found in 16:9 and other wide aspect ratios.

• Digital shift function only works with BORDER, STRETCH or SMART STRETCH of VIDEO and DTV inputs. (See page 42 for details.) The DIGITAL SHIFT screen is not displayed when projecting images other than WIDE.

Digital Shift

Press ∂.

Press ƒ.

Adjusting the Projection Distance

(m)

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 centred in the middle of the screen. If the lens centre 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 colours, 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.

Four optional lenses from Sharp are also available for specialised application. Please see your local Sharp Authorised LCD Projector Dealer for details on all the lenses. (Refer to the lens operation manual when attaching a lens.) You can install the AN-W6EZ and AN-T6EZ optional lenses yourself. However, be sure to have service personnel install the AN-P9MX and AN-P48EZ optional lenses.

• 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.

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 Projection

• It is recommended that you use the optional Sharp ceiling-mount bracket for this installation.

• Before mounting the projector, contact your nearest Sharp Authorised LCD Projector Dealer or Service Centre to obtain the recommended ceiling-mount bracket (sold separately). (AN-NV6T ceiling-mount bracket, AN-TK201/AN-TK202 extension tube for ANNV6T.)

• When the projector is in the inverted position, use the upper edge of the screen as the base line.

• Use the projector’s menu system to select the appropriate projection mode. (See page 57 for use of this function.)

This projector can be used together with other projectors managed using the accompanied Sharp Advanced Presentation Software—Professional Edition to create a videowall projection. Whereas conventional videowall technology required the use of an image distributor, this projector videowall feature enables easy image settings from a PC when inputting a single video source. This function greatly simplifies videowall setup. RS-232C OUTPUTS also realise the simple daisy chain connection. The master projector directly connected to the computer can make the daisy chain connection with multiple slave projectors. For details on setting master or slave, see page 58.

Multiple Function

• Use a videowall projector stand, sold separately, when using this function.

• Image quality may deteriorate when picture signals are input through multiple projectors in a daisy chain

connection.

• For more information on this feature, see the operation manuals accompanying the Sharp Advanced Presentation Software— Professional Edition.

• When UXGA signal is displayed, the videowall can not be set by Sharp Advanced Presentation Software—Professional Edition.

This SHARP projector uses LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panels. These

Appendix

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.

Glossary

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

Optimises projected computer images by automatically adjusting certain characteristics.

Background

Initial setting image projected when no signal is being input.

Border

Displays the 4:3 image as the biggest size (768576) that can be displayed on the WIDE mode screen (1024576).

Clock

Clock adjustment is used to adjust vertical noise when clock level is incorrect.

CLR Temp (Colour temperature)

Function that can be used to adjust the colour temperature to suit the type of image input to the projector. Decrease the colour temperature to create warmer, reddish images for natural flesh tones, or increase to create cooler, bluish images for a brighter picture.

Composite sync

Signal combining horizontal and vertical sync pulses.

Digital shift

Shifts image up or down easily by ∂/ƒ buttons when RESIZE mode of input image is BORDER, STRETCH or SMART STRETCH of COMPUTER (except for SXGA and UXGA), VIDEO and DTV inputs.

DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)

Provides high quality images with minimal dot crawl and cross colour noise.

Dot by dot

Mode that projects images in their native resolution.

DVI

Digital Visual Interface that supports both digital and analog displays.

GAMMA

Image quality enhancement function that offers a richer image by brightening the darker portions of the image without altering the brightness of the brighter portions. You can select four different modes : STANDARD, PRESENTATION, CINEMA and CUSTOM.

GyroRemote

Remote control device with a built-in sensor that can operate projectors and computers. GyroRemote communicates with a projector via radio signals and therefore does not encounter the line-of-sight problems found in infrared devices.

Intelligent compression and expansion

High quality resizing of lower and higher resolution images to fit the projector’s native resolution.

Intelligent digital keystone correction

Function to digitally correct a distorted image when the projector is set up at an angle, smooths out jaggies on keystone images and compresses the image not only horizontally but vertically keeping the 4:3 aspect ratio, and at the same time, calculates the aspect ratio automatically adjusting to the lens shift width.

Keylock level

Mode that can lock the operation of projector buttons to prevent mischief.

Lens shift

The lens can be easily raised and lowered to minimize or eliminate “Keystone” type effect.

Magnification (Enlarge)

Digitally zooms in on a portion of an image.

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.

Picture in Picture

Allows you to add video images onto a data screen image, providing you with even more effective presentations.

Presentation tools

Helpful tools used to emphasise keypoints throughout a presentation.

Progressive Mode

The progressive display projects a smoother video image. You can select three different modes : 2D Progressive, 3D Progressive and Film Mode.

RESIZE

Allows you to modify or customise the picture display mode to enhance the input image. You can select six different modes: NORMAL, FULL, DOT BY DOT, BORDER, STRETCH and SMART STRETCH.

RS-232C

Function to control the projector from the computer by using the RS-232C ports on the projector and computer.

Set Inputs

Function to limit inputs. For example, when setting Input 2 to “OFF”, the input is switchable only between Input 1 and Input 3, skipping Input 2.

Smart Stretch

Mode that stretches the right and left sides of the 4:3 image horizontally while maintaining the aspect ratio around the centre of the image to display it on the WIDE screen.

Stack Setting

Prevents trouble with adjustment and operation when stack projecting. When setting two projectors, one to master and the other to slave, the slave follows the master’s operation.

Status function

Displays the settings of each adjustment item.

Stretch

Mode that stretches the 4:3 image horizontally to display it on the WIDE screen.

Sync on green

Video signal mode of a computer which overlaps horizontal and vertical sync signal to green colour signal pin.
