Be sure to read the following safeguards when setting up
your projector.

Introduction

Caution concerning the lamp unit

■ Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp
ruptures. In case of lamp rupture, con­tact your nearest Sharp Authorised Pro­jector Dealer or Service Centre for a re­placement.
See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 54.

BQC-PGB10S//1

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 lens
and part of filter must be cleaned more often than usual.
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 a Sharp Authorised Projector Dealer or
Service Centre.

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 colours, 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 12 degrees.

■ Placement should be within ±12 degrees of horizontal.

12°

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.

Do not mount the projector on a ceiling by turning it over.

■ Use the lens shift feature when projecting the image from
a high position.

Rest your eyes occasionally.

■ Continuously watching the screen for long hours will cause
eye strain. Be sure to occasionally rest your eyes.

Avoid locations with extremes of temperature.

■ The operating temperature of the projector is from +5°C to
+35°C.

■ The storage temperature of the projector is from
–20°C to +60°C.

Do not block the exhaust and intake vents.

■ Allow at least 20 cm of space between the exhaust vent
and the nearest wall or obstruction.

■ Be sure 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 the standby mode.
This does not indicate a malfunction. Remove the projec­tor 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 transportation of the projector

■ When transporting the projector, be sure not to subject it
to hard impact and/or vibration, as this can result in dam­age. Take extra care with the lens. Before moving the pro­jector, be sure to 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 transporting the projector, be sure to attach the lens

shipping block and the lens cap to the projector.

Other connected equipment

■ When connecting a computer or other audio-visual equip­ment to the projector, make the connections AFTER un­plugging the power cord of the projector from the wall 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.

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, be sure
to 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 52 for
details.

Info

• 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. This does not indicate malfunction.

• Do not unplug the power cord during projection or cooling
fan operation. This can cause damage due to rise in inter­nal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.

Using the Remote Control

Usable Range

Introduction

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 re-

flected 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:

• Be sure 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.

Inserting the Batteries

The batteries (two “AA” size) are supplied in
the package.

2 Insert the batteries.

• Insert the batteries making sure the po-

larities correctly match the and
marks inside the battery compartment.

3 Attach the cover and slide it until

it clicks into place.

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

Caution

• Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the and marks inside the battery compart-

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 be sure to first wipe them 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.

Setting up the Screen

Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level (without using the adjustment
feet) to achieve an optimal image.

Note

• The projector lens should be centred in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through the

lens centre is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.

• For an optimal image, position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly

on the screen washes out the colours, making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when
setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.

• A polarising 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
page 17.)

Gamma (Gamma Correction)

Gamma is an 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.
When you are displaying images with frequent dark
scenes, such as a film or concert, or when you are
displaying images in a bright room, this feature
makes the dark scenes easier to see and gives the
impression of greater depth in the image.

Select “Gamma” on the “Picture” menu and

Info

• If the temperature warning indicator blinks, and the projector enters the standby mode, follow the possible

solutions on page 52 and then wait until the projector has cooled down completely before plugging in the
power cord and turning the power back on. (At least 5 minutes.)

• If the power is turned off for a brief moment due to power outage or some other cause while using the

projector, and the power supply recovers immediately after that, the lamp indicator will illuminate in red and
the lamp may not be lit. In this case, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, replace the power cord in the
AC outlet and then turn the power on again.

• If you want to clean the air vents during projector operation, be sure to put the projector into the standby

mode by pressing
clean the vents.

• The cooling fan keeps the internal temperatures of the projector constant and this function is controlled

automatically. The sound of the cooling fan may change during operation because the fan speed may change
and this is not a malfunction.

• Do not unplug the power cord after the projector has entered the standby mode and while the cooling fan is

running. This can cause damage due to rise in internal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.

Appendix

Regarding the Lamp

Lamp

■ It is recommended that the lamp (sold separately) be replaced when the remaining lamp life be­comes 5% or less, or when you notice a significant deterioration in the picture and colour quality.
The lamp life (percentage) can be checked with the on-screen display. See page 47.

■ For lamp replacement, please consult your nearest Sharp Authorised Projector Dealer or Service
Centre.

Caution Concerning the Lamp

■ This projector utilises a pressurised 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 indicator and on-screen display icon are illuminated, 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 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 Authorised Projector
Dealer or Service Centre to remove the damaged lamp and assure safe operation.

Replacing the Lamp

Caution

• Do not remove the lamp unit immediately after operation of the projector. The lamp will be hot and touching

it can lead to burn or injury.

• Wait at least one hour after the power cord is disconnected to allow the surface of the lamp unit to fully cool

before removing the lamp unit.

If the new lamp does not light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorised

■

Projector Dealer or Service Centre for repair. Purchase a replacement lamp unit of type BQC-PGB10S//1
from your nearest Sharp Authorised Projector Dealer or Service Centre. Then carefully change the
lamp by following the instructions described in this section. If you wish, you may have the lamp
replaced at your nearest Sharp Authorised Projector Dealer or Service Centre.

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 output.

CINEMA ZOOM

Mode that cuts out the top/bottom blank bands
and projects a wide screen image.

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.

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, Cinema1, Cinema2 and
Brighten.

Keystone Correction

Function to digitally correct a distorted image
when the projector is set up at an angle.

Lens shift

Function to adjust the position of the projection
image by using the lens shift lever to move the
lens from side to side and up and down (360°).

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.

RS-232C terminal

Controls the projector from the computer.

Resize

Allows you to modify or customize the picture dis­play mode to enhance the input image. You can
select three different modes: STRETCH, SIDE
BAR and CINEMA ZOOM.
