Introduction

Observe 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
50.
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 diffi cult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.
Caution regarding placing of the projector
Place the projector on a level site within the adjustment range (9 degrees) of the adjustment foot.
Warning about placing the projector in a high position
When placing the projector in a high position, make cer­tain it is carefully secure to avoid personal injury caused by the projector falling down.
Do not subject the projector to hard impact and/or vibration.
Protect 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 exhaust and intake vents.
Allow at least 1113/16 inches (30 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 page 48.) 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.
After the projector is purchased, a faint smell from the vent may appear when the power is fi rst turned on. This is normal and is not a malfunction. It will disappear after the projector is used for a while.
When using the projector in high-altitude areas such as mountains (at altitudes of approximate­ly 4,900 feet (1,500 meters) 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.
-6
Caution regarding usage of the projector
If you are not to use the projector for a long time or before moving the projector, make 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 that you close the
lens shutter.
Do not expose the projector to direct sunlight or place next to heat sources. Doing so may affect the cabinet color or cause deformation of the plastic cover.
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 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.
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 temperature inside the projector increases, due to blockage of the air vents, or the setting location, the temperature warning indicator will blink. And if the temperature keeps on rising, “ ” will illuminate in the lower left corner of the picture with the temperature warning indicator blinking. If this state continues, the lamp will turn off, the cooling fan will run and then the projector will enter standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on pages 48 and 49 for details.
Introduction
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.

When using the remote control:
Be sure not to drop, expose to moisture or high temperature.
The remote control may malfunction under a fl uorescent lamp. In this case, move the projec­tor away from the fl uorescent lamp.
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 m and n marks inside the battery compartment.
• 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 fl uid from leaked batteries is harmful to skin, therefore ensure you wipe them fi rst 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 fl at and level.
Note
The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing diffi cult.
For 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 colors, making viewing diffi cult. 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.

Standard Setup (Front Projection)

Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size.

Projection (PRJ) Mode

The projector can use any of the 4 projection modes, shown in the diagram below. Select the mode most ap­propriate for the projection setting in use. (You can set the PRJ Mode in “SCR-ADJ” menu. See page 44.)
Table mounted, front projection
Menu item ➞ “Front”
Table mounted, rear projection (with a translucent screen)
Menu item ➞ “Rear”
Ceiling mounted, front projection
Menu item ➞ “Ceiling + Front”
Ceiling mounted, rear projection (with a translucent screen)
Menu item ➞ “Ceiling + Rear”

Ceiling-mount Setup

It is recommended that you use the optional Sharp ceiling-mount adaptor and unit for this installation. Before mounting the projector, contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center to obtain the recommended ceiling-mount adaptor and unit (sold separately).
