Power Supply
Connecting the Power Cord
Plug the supplied power cord into the AC socket on the back of the projector.
Power cord
CAUTION
• Make sure the power cord is firmly connected into the AC socket.
• The projector will enter the standby mode as you re-plug it into the AC socket, when unplugging the power cord after turning the power
off by pressing the POWER button. However, if the projector was turned off by disconnecting the power cord or by a power failure, the
projector will automatically turn on when plugging the power cord again.
Setup & Connections
Connecting to Video Equipment
You can connect your projector to a VCR, laser disc player, DVD player, DTV* decoder and other video equipment.
* DTV is the umbrella term used to describe the new digital television system in the United States.
CAUTION
• Make sure to turn both the projector and the video equipment off, before connecting.
• As this projector is not equipped with audio input terminals, commercially available audio equipment or your own equipment (such as
speakers or amplifiers) should be used.
Connecting a video source (VCR, laser disc player, DVD player or DTV decoder) using the INPUT 3
S-VIDEO and INPUT 4 VIDEO terminals
1 Connect one end of the S-video cable (commercially
available) to the INPUT 3 S-VIDEO terminal, or one end
of the video cable to the INPUT 4 VIDEO terminal on
the projector.
2 Connect the other end of the S-video cable or the video
cable to the S-video output or Video output terminal of
the video source.
The S-video input terminal uses a video signal system where
the picture is separated into a colour and luminance signal
to realise a higher-quality image.
• For higher quality video, you may use the S-video input terminal on the
projector. An S-video cable is commercially available.
• If your video equipment does not have an S-video output terminal, use
the composite video output terminal.

1 Project the test pattern of the Keystone correction function onto the
screen. Rotate the Focus ring until the image on the screen becomes
clear. (See page 16.)
2 Change the projection angle using the Swivel Stand to properly
project images onto the screen. (See page 17).
3 Align the edge of the screen closest to the projector with the test
pattern by adjusting the zoom and the Swivel Stand. (See pages 16
and 17.)
4 Adjust the Keystone function so that the size of the projected image
matches the screen size. (See page 19.)
5 Align the image on the screen by adjusting the zoom function and the
Swivel Stand.

Adjusting the Projection Distance
Upper and Lower Lens Shift Position
• This projector is equipped with a lens shift function that lets you adjust the projection height.
• Adjust it to match the setup configuration.
• The screen can be moved maximum the length of one screen vertically using the lens shift.
• Optimal image quality is produced with the projector positioned perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level. Tilting or angling
the projector will reduce the effectiveness of the lens shift function.

Setup & Connections
Projection Using a Mirror
Image Projection
• Place a translucent screen between the projector and
the audience.
• Use the projector’s menu screen to reverse the
projected image. (See page 42 for use of this
function.)
• Optimal image quality can be achieved when the projector
is positioned perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat
and leveled.
• When the distance between the projector and a
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.
• 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, remove the Swivel
Stand. (See page 17 for removing and attaching the
Swivel Stand.)
• Before mounting the projector, contact your nearest
Sharp Authorised Projector Dealer or Service Centre
to obtain the recommended ceiling-mount bracket
(sold separately). (AN-TK202 ceiling-mount bracket,
AN-TK201 extension tube, AN-60KT ceiling adaptors
for AN-TK202 or AN-TK201)
• When the projector is in the inverted position, use the
upper edge of the screen as the base line.
• Use the projector’s menu screen to select the
appropriate projection mode. (See page 42 for use
of this function.)
