Outstanding Features

1. FOR USE WITH DTV

Allows projection of DTV images and 16:9 wide-screen images when connected to a DTV decoder or similar video systems.
(Page 11)

2. ADVANCED VIDEO CIRCUITRY

Provides high quality images with minimal dot crawl and cross color noise.

3. 3D DIGITAL UNIFORMITY

Equipped with new 3D digital uniformity technology for a clearer, more uniform image.

4. ACTIVE DIGITAL KEYSTONE CORRECTION

Corrects keystone distortion caused when the projected image is not perpendicular to the screen. This method provides not
only horizontal correction, but vertical as well, thus maintaining the original 4:3 aspect ratio and eliminating jag lines. (Page 19)

5. EASY-TO-USE GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE (GUI)

A multi-color menu system allows for simple image adjustments. (Page 20)

6. NEW PROGRESSIVE MODE AND FILM MODE

Optimizes the image by converting the interlaced signal to the progressive. Useful for displaying slow-moving images or still
images. Four modes are available. (Page 25)

7. COLOR TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT

The function can be used to adjust the color temperature to suit the type of image input to the projector. (Page 29)

Information

Important

8. GAMMA CORRECTION FUNCTION

The gamma value setting can be adjusted according to the input source for optimal image contrast. (Page 30)

9. WIDESCREEN IMAGES

Allows projection of DVD, DTV and other anamorphic images recorded in widescreen format with a 16:9 aspect ratio. (Page

31)

10. BRIGHTNESS SWITCHOVER FUNCTION

Function with toggle switch to control the quantity of projected light. Select “ON” or “OFF” to decrease or increase brightness,
power consumption and fan noise. (Page 33)

11. ANALOG COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT

Utilizes a component video input signal (Y, PB, PR). The video signal is input as separate components to provide superior color
and image quality.

12. DIRECT COMPUTER COMPATIBILITY

A multi-scan RGB input accepts signals from VGA (640 dots ⳯ 480 lines) and Macintosh (from 13ⴖ) compatible computers
without the need for any additional hardware.

Caution Concerning the Lamp Unit

Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp ruptures. Please have the nearest
Authorized SharpVision Service Center or Dealer replace lamp if rupture occurs.
See “Replacing the Projection Lamp” on pages 38 and 39.

Cautions 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 filter
must be cleaned more often. Periodically the filter should be replaced and the
projector should be cleaned internally. 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 the
nearest Authorized SharpVision Service Center or Dealer.

• Do not expose the projector to extreme heat or cold.
Operating temperature: 41°F to 95°F (Ⳮ5°C to Ⳮ35°C)

Information



Notes on Operation

• The mark shown on the left calls the user’s attention to a part of the projector
that emits intense heat during operation.

• The exhaust vent, the lamp cage cover and adjacent areas may be extremely
hot during projector operation. To prevent injury, do not touch these areas until
they have sufficiently cooled.

• Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between the cooling fan (exhaust
vent) and the nearest wall or obstruction.

• If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection device will automatically
turn off the projector lamp. This does not indicate a malfunction. Remove the
projector power cord from the wall outlet and wait at least 10 minutes. Then
turn on the power by plugging the power cord back in. This will return the
projector to the normal operating condition.

Temperature Monitor Function

If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems or a dirty air filter, “TEMP.”
will appear 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 flash, and after a 90-second cooling-off period the power will shut off. Refer
to “Lamp/Maintenance Indicators” on page 37, for details.

• 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.

Lamp Monitor Function

When the projector is turned on after the lamp has been used for 900 hours,
“LAMP” will appear in the lower-left corner of the picture to advise you to replace
the lamp. See pages 38 and 39 for lamp replacement. If the lamp has been used
for 1,000 hours, the projector power will automatically turn off and the projector
will enter standby mode. Refer to “Lamp/Maintenance Indicators” on page 37,
for details.

Connecting the Projector

Power cord
CACCU5013DE01

Connecting a video source (VCR, laser disc player, DTV decoder or DVD player) using the standard video and audio input

1 Connect one end of the S-video cable to the S-VIDEO

INPUT terminal, or one end of the video cable to the
VIDEO INPUT terminal on the projector and the video

output terminal on the video source.

2 To use the built-in audio system, connect the RCA

connectors to the corresponding AUDIO INPUT (S-
VIDEO, VIDEO INPUT) terminals on the projector and
the audio output terminals on the audiovisual source.

The S-VIDEO INPUT terminal uses a video signal system
in which the picture is separated into a color and a
luminance signal to realize a higher-quality image.

• For higher quality video, you may use the S-VIDEO INPUT terminal on
the projector. S-video cable is sold separately.

• If your video equipment does not have an S-video output terminal, use
the composite video output terminal.

2 Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding

terminals of a DVD player or DTV decoder.

3 To use the built-in audio system, connect one end of an

audio cable to the AUDIO INPUT (INPUT 1, 2) terminal
on the projector.
Connect the other end to the audio output terminal on
the audiovisual equipment.

• A 3.5 mm minijack to RCA audio cable adaptor may be
necessary.
