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 (+5°C to +35°C)
  Storage temperature: -4^ to 140^ ( -20^ to +60^ )

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.

Ensure the cooling fan has stopped before disconnecting the power cord.

DURING NORMAL OPERATION, NEVER TURN THE PROJECTOR OFF BY DISCONNECTING THE POWER CORD. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS WILL RESULT IN PREMATURE LAMP FAILURE.

Setting up the Screen

Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image. Move the projector forward or backward if the edges of the image are distorted.

NOTE

• The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.
• Position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly onto the screen washes out colors, making viewing difficult. 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. (See the table below.)

Using the Adjustment Feet

You can adjust the height of the image by raising the projector with the foot releases.

①Press the foot releases and lift the projector to the desired angle. (Adjustable up to approximately 7^ from the standard position.)
②Remove your hands from the foot releases. Once the adjustment feet have locked in position, release the projector.
③If the screen is at an angle, the adjusters can be used to adjust the angle of the image.

Returning the projector to its original position

While holding the projector, press the foot releases and slowly lower the projector to its original position.

NOTE

- When an adjustment is made, the image may become distorted (keystoned), depending on the relative positions of the projector and the screen.

CAUTION

• Do not press the foot releases when the adjustment feet are extended without firmly holding the projector.
• Do not hold the lens when lifting or lowering the projector.
• When lowering the projector, be careful not to get your fingers caught in the area between the adjustment feet and the projector.

Reversed Image Setup

Rear projection

• Place a translucent screen between the projector and the audience.
• Use the projector's menu system to reverse the projected image. (See page 34 for use of this function.)

Projection using a mirror

• When the distance between the projector and 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.

NOTE

- Optimal image quality can be achieved when the projector is positioned perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level.

CAUTION

- 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 Setup

• It is recommended that you use the optional Sharp ceiling-mount bracket for this installation.
• Before mounting the projector, contact your nearest Authorized SharpVision Dealer or Servicer to obtain the recommended ceiling-mount bracket and hardware (sold separately). (AN-CM240 ceiling-mount bracket, AN-EP101AP extension tube for AN-CM240 and AN-PGCM80 ceiling adapter for AN-CM240.)
• When the projector is in the inverted position, use the upper edge of the screen as the base line.
• Use the projector's menu system to select the appropriate projection mode. (See page 34 for use of this function.)

This SHARP projector uses LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panels. These very sophisticated panels contain 480,000 pixels (× RGB) TFTs (Thin Film Transistors). As with any high technology electronic equipment such as large screen TVs, video systems and video cameras, there are certain acceptable tolerances that the equipment must conform to.

This unit has some inactive TFTs within acceptable tolerances which may result in illuminated or inactive dots on the picture screen. This will not affect the picture quality or the life expectancy of the unit. If you have any questions about this matter, please call toll free 1-877-DTV-SHARP (1-877-388-7427). U.S.A. ONLY

Specifications are subject to change without notice.

Top-down schematic of a device casing with internal components and wiring (no text or symbols)

Bottom View

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.

Aspect ratio

Width and height ratio of an image. The normal aspect ratio of a computer and video image is 4:3. There are also wide images with an aspect ratio of 16:9 and 21:9.

Auto sync

Optimizes projected computer images by automatically adjusting certain characteristics.

Background

Initial setting image projected when no signal is being input.

Clock

Clock adjustment is used to adjust vertical noise when clock level is incorrect.

Color temperature

Function that can be used to adjust the color temperature to suit the type of image input to the projector.

Freeze

Function to freeze a moving image.

Gamma correction

Offers richer image viewing with dark scene phase and contrast correction according to image and room brightness. Three gamma settings are available.

GUI

Graphical User Interface. User interface with graphics that allow easier operation.

Intelligent compression and expansion

High quality resizing of lower and higher resolution images to fit the projector's native resolution.

Phase

Phase shift is a timing shift between isomorphic signals with the same resolution. When phase level is incorrect, the projected image typically displays horizontal flicker.

Picture display mode

Allows you to modify or customize the picture display mode to enhance the input image.

Progressive mode (Film mode)

Optimizes the image by converting the interlaced signal to the progressive. Useful for displaying slow-moving images or still images.

RS-232C

Function to control the projector from the computer by using the RS-232C ports on the projector and computer.

Sync on green

Video signal mode of a computer which overlaps horizontal and vertical sync signal to green color signal pin.

Theater mode 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.
