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.

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
Distance
Screen Size and Projection Distance
When using a wide screen (16:9): In case of displaying the 16:9 picture on the whole of the 16:9 screen.
x : Picture size (diag.) (in/cm)
L : Projection distance (ft/m)
L1 : Minimum projection distance (ft/m)
L2 : Maximum projection distance (ft/m)
H : Distance from the lens center to the bottom of the image (in/cm)
The formula for picture size and projection distance
[Feet/inches]
L1 (ft) = 0.0314 x / 0.3048
L2 (ft) = 0.0362 x / 0.3048
H (in) = 0.2 x / 2.54
When using a normal screen (4:3) and projecting 4:3 image (NORMAL Mode)
L : Projection distance (ft/m)
L1 : Minimum projection distance (ft/m)
L2 : Maximum projection distance (ft/m)
H : Distance from the lens center to the bottom of the image (in/cm)
