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

or and of the
same rating as 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:

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.

Adjusting the Projection Distance

)

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.

Two optional lenses from Sharp are also available for specialized application. Please see your local Sharp Authorized
LCD Projector Dealer to details on all the lenses. (Refer to the lens operation manual when attaching a lens.) Also,
be sure to have service personnel install the AN-P9MX and AN-P48EZ optional lenses.

Image Projection

Rear Projection

• Place a translucent screen between the projector and
the audience.

• Use the projector’s menu system to reverse the
projected image. (See page
function.)

• Optimal image quality can be achieved when the projector
is positioned perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat
and level.

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.

for use of this

51

Setup & Connections

• 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 Authorized LCD Projector Dealer or Service
Center to obtain the recommended ceiling-mount
bracket (sold separately). (AN-XGCM61 ceiling-mount
bracket and its AN-EP101AP extension tube (for
U.S.A.), or AN-NV6T ceiling-mount bracket and its AN­TK201/AN-TK202 extension tubes (for countries other
than the U.S.A.))

• 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
of this function.)

below.
If the new lamp does not light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorized LCD Projector
Dealer or Service Center for repair. Purchase a replacement lamp unit (lamp/cage module) of the current type
BQC-XGP25X//1 from your nearest Sharp Authorized LCD Projector Dealer or Service Center. Then carefully change
the lamp by following the instructions below. If you wish, you may have the lamp replaced at your nearest Sharp
Authorized LCD Projector Dealer or Service Center.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO U.S. CUSTOMERS:

The lamp included with this projector is backed by a 90-day parts and labor limited warranty. All service of this
projector under warranty, including lamp replacement, must be obtained through a Sharp Authorized LCD Projector
Dealer or Service Center. For the name of the nearest Sharp Authorized LCD Projector Dealer or Service Center,
please call toll-free: 1-888-GO-SHARP (1-888-467-4277).

Caution Concerning the Lamp

• This projector utilizes a pressurized mercury lamp. A loud sound may indicate lamp failure. Lamp failure can
be attributed to numerous sources such as excessive shock, improper cooling, surface scratches or deterioration
of the lamp due to a lapse of usage time. The period of time up to failure largely varies depending on the
individual lamp and/or the condition and the frequency of use. It is important to note that failure can often result
in the bulb cracking.

• When the LAMP REPLACEMENT indicator and on-screen display icon is illuminated or blinks, it is recommended
that the lamp be replaced with a new one immediately, even if the lamp appears to be operating normally.

• Should the lamp break, the glass particles may spread inside the lamp cage or gas contained in the lamp may
be vented into the room from the exhaust vent. Because the gas in this lamp includes mercury, ventilate the
room well if the lamp breaks and avoid all exposure to the released gas. In case of exposure to the gas, consult
with a doctor as soon as possible.

• Should the lamp break, there is also a possibility that glass particles may spread inside of the projector. In such
a case, it is recommended you contact your nearest Sharp Authorized LCD Projector Dealer or Service Center
to remove the damaged lamp and assure safe operation.

(RS-232C) Specifications and Command Settings

PC control

A computer can be used to control the projector by connecting an RS-232C cable (cross type, sold separately) to
the projector. (See page

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

for connection.)

20

C1 C2 C3 C4 P1 P2 P3 P4

Command 4-digit

Parameter 4-digit

Return code (0DH)

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.

• When the projector is in standby mode, send each command more than 1 minute after the previous command.

Commands

EXAMPLE

• When “BRIGHT” of INPUT 1 (RGB 1) image adjustment is set to 10.

• 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 computer’s 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.

* When the RGB input is used for displaying moving images received as interlaced image signal, the images may not be displayed as you

intended depending on the type of the signal. Please use the component input, video input, or s-video input in case this happens.

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.

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

Optimizes projected computer images by automatically adjusting certain characteristics.

Background

Initial setting image projected when no signal is being input.

Border

Projects a 4:3 image fully within a 16:9 screen by keeping the aspect ratio at 4:3.

Clock

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

CLR Temp (Color temperature)

Function that can be used to adjust the color temperature to suit the type of image input to the projector. Decrease the color 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 color 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.

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.

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 customize 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

Projects the image fully in a 16:9 screen by enlarging only the surrounding areas while keeping the aspect ratio in the middle part of the image at 4:3.

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 fully on a 16:9 screen.

Sync on green

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