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

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.

Connecting to Video Equipment

Before connecting, be sure to unplug the power cord of the projector from the AC outlet and turn off the devices to be connected. After making all connections, turn on the projector and then the other devices.

Connecting Equipment with HDMI Output Terminal to the HDMI Terminal on the Projector

HDMI is a new specialized interface capable of delivering a video and audio signal to the terminal using just one cable. Since this projector does not support an audio signal by itself, use an ampliﬁ er or other audio device. For video connection, use a cable that conforms to HDMI standards. Using cables that do not conform to HDMI standards may result in a malfunction.

Maintenance

Cleaning the projector

■ Ensure that you have unplugged the power cord before cleaning the projector.

■ The cabinet as well as the operation panel is made of plastic. Avoid using benzene or thinner, as these can damage the ﬁ nish on the cabinet.

■ Do not use volatile agents such as insecticides on the projector.

■ Do not attach rubber or plastic items to the projector for long periods.

The effects of some of the agents in the plastic

may cause damage to the quality or ﬁ nish of the projector.

■ Wipe off dirt gently with a soft ﬂ annel cloth.

■ When the dirt is hard to remove, soak a cloth in a

mild detergent diluted with water, wring the cloth well and then wipe the projector.

Strong cleaning detergents may discolor, warp or

damage the coating on the projector. Make sure to test on a small, inconspicuous area on the projector before use.

Mild detergent

Cleaning the lens

■ Use a commercially available blower or lens cleaning paper (for glasses and camera lenses) for cleaning the lens. Do not use any liquid type cleaning agents, as they may wear off the coating ﬁ lm on the surface of the lens.

■ As the surface of the lens can easily get damaged, be careful not to scrape or hit the lens.

Cleaning the exhaust and intake vents

■ Use a vacuum cleaner to clean dust from the exhaust vent and the intake vent.

Hg LAMP CONTAINS MERCURY For State Lamp Disposal Information www.lamprecycle.org or 1-800-BE-SHARP

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 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, 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 Projector Dealer or Service Center to assure safe operation.

■ 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.

U.S.A. ONLY

• 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.

• When “Screen resolution” of the computer is different from the resolution displayed on the projected im-

age, follow the procedures shown below. – Refer to “Resolution” on the “SIG-ADJ” menu and select the same resolution as the resolution in “Screen

resolution” of the computer.

– Depending on the computer you are using, the output signal may not be faithful to the “Screen reso-

lution” adjustment. Check the settings of the computer's signal output. If the settings cannot be changed, it is recommended that the resolution be set to “1920 × 1080” or “1280 × 720”.
