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.

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

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.

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.

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.
