SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 13A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.

Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.

In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.

DANGER:

The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner.

Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious electric shock may occur.

To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:

IMPORTANT:

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

- The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.

- The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red. Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug.

Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:

- If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.

- The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires.

IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Be sure to read 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 a replacement.

See "Replacing the Lamp" on page 71.

SHARP PG-M25X - Caution concerning the lamp unit - 1

SHARP PG-M25X - Caution concerning the lamp unit - 2

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 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 difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.

The projector may safely be tilted to a maximum angle of 10 degrees.

■Placement should be within ±10 degrees.

Do not subject the projector to hard impact and/or vibration.

■Take care with 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 make your eyes tired. Be sure to rest your eyes sometimes.

Avoid locations with high or low temperature.

■The operating temperature for the projector is from 41°F to 95°F (+5°C to +35°C)

■The storage temperature for the projector is from -4^ to 140^ ( -20^ to +60^ )

Do not block the exhaust and intake vents.

■Allow at least 11.8 inches (30 cm) of space between the exhaust vent and the nearest wall or obstruction.

■Be sure that the intake vent and the exhaust vent are not obstructed.

If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection circuit will automatically turn off the projector. This does not indicate a malfunction. 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.

Cautions regarding the transportation of the projector

■When transporting the projector, be sure not to subject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this can result in damage. Take extra caution with the lens. Before moving the projector, be sure to retract the antenna and the card eject button. Also, be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, disconnect any other cables connected to it and retract the antenna.

Setting up the Screen

Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image.

SHARP PG-M25X - Setting up the Screen - 1

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 difficult.
  • 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 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 page 24.)

Note

• 2D Progressive

This function is useful to display fast-moving images such as sports and action films. This mode optimizes the image in a displayed frame.

• 3D Progressive

This function is useful to display relatively slow-moving images such as drama and documentary more clearly.

This mode optimizes the image by estimating the movement of a number of preceding and succeeding frames.

• Film Mode

Reproduces the image of film source clearly. Displays the optimized image of film transformed with three-two pull down (NTSC and PAL60Hz) or two-two pull down (PAL50Hz and SECAM) enhancement to progressive mode images.

* The film source is a digital video recording with the original encoded as is at 24 frames/second. The projector can convert this film source to progressive video at 60 frames/second with NTSC and PAL60Hz or at 50 frames/second with PAL50Hz and SECAM to play back a high-definition image.

  • When using progressive inputs, these inputs are directly displayed therefore 2D Progressive, 3D Progressive and Film Mode cannot be selected. These modes can be selected in interlace signals other than 1080I.
  • In NTSC or PAL60Hz, even if the 3D Progressive mode has been set, the three-two pull down enhancement will be enabled automatically, when the film source has been entered.
  • In PAL50Hz or SECAM, the two-two pull down enhancement will be enabled only in the Film Mode, when the film source has been entered.

Using the Network

Before setting the network

This section explains items that can be set in a network. A wireless connection will not be possible if these items are not set correctly.

Also, as there are values that must be entered in a pre-configured network, make sure to consult with your network administrator.

IP Address

■When What is an IP Address?

The IP Address is a number for identifying devices connected to the network. An IP address must be assigned to each device using network values.

Connecting the projector and a computer via a wireless connection is the same as the computer and projector being connected to a wireless LAN network. Therefore, if the projector (and computer) is not assigned an IP address, they cannot be identified and thus a wireless connection cannot be possible.

■Assigning IP addresses

When creating a local network where the projector and a computer are connected in a wireless environment, 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.254 can be assigned as the IP addresses for the devices connected to that network.

The IP address of the projector is 192.168.0.1 and as long as there are no conflicts, the default settings do not have to be changed.

Example

  • Projector ....192.168.150.150
    • Computer (no. 1) ...192.168.150.151
    • Computer (no. 2) ...192.168.150.152

For settings, see page 70.

This projector comes with a DHCP server function that automatically assigns IP addresses to devices connected to the network.

For details, see page 70.

SHARP PG-M25X - For settings, see page 70. - 1

Note

  • The range of IP addresses that can be assigned in a local network is fixed.
    • IP stands for Internet Protocol.

Wireless LAN PC card: Troubleshooting

Check the following if you cannot connect to the network using your wireless LAN PC card.

  1. Is the Link indicator o the wireless LAN PC card light?

• Lit: operating normally.

- Flashing: the wireless LAN PC card driver is not operating properly.

Reinstall the driver in the computer.

- Off: The card is not in operation. Make sure that the card is installed correctly.

  1. Are the SSID, channel and wireless transmission settings of the projector and computer the same?

- If the SSID, channel and wireless transmission settings of the computer are not the same, then they cannot communicate.

- When communicating with the projector, make sure that the transmission mode has been set to 802.11 ad hoc mode.

  1. Check the projector and computer network settings.

- When the DHCP "Server" on the projector is "OFF":

Check again the IP address, subnet mask and gateway values of the projector and computer.

●When the DHCP server on the projector is ON:

Check the values of the IP address, subnet mask and DHCP assigned start address of the projector. If part of the IP address or DHCP assign start address is not identical to the ones specified in the subnet mask, IP address assigning cannot be properly done.

IP address192.168.150.120
Subnet mask255.255.255.0
Assign start address192.168.150.100...correct
Assign start address192.168.050.100...wrong

Gamma Correction Function

Gamma is an image quality enhancement function that offers a richer image by brightening the darker portions of the image without altering the brightness of the brighter portions. When you are displaying images with frequent dark scenes, such as a film or concert, or when you are displaying images in a bright room, this feature makes the dark scenes easier to see and gives the impression of greater depth in the image.

Regarding the Lamp

Lamp

It is recommended that the lamp (sold separately) be replaced after approximately 1,900 cumulative hours of use or when you notice a significant deterioration of the picture and color quality. The lamp usage time can be checked with the on-screen display. See page 58.
■ For lamp replacement, please consult your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO U.S. CUSTOMERS:

The lamp included with this projector is backed by a 90-day parts and labor limited warranty. All service of this projector under warranty, including lamp replacement, must be obtained through a Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center. For the name of the nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center, please call toll-free: 1-888-GO-SHARP (1-888-467-4277). U.S.A. ONLY

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 or flash, 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, 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 with a doctor as soon as possible.
■ 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 remove the damaged lamp and assure safe operation.

Replacing the Lamp

SHARP PG-M25X - Replacing the Lamp - 1

Glossary

Advanced intelligent compression

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

Anti-theft

If the "Keycode" set in the projector is not correctly entered, the projector will not operate even if signals are entered.

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 output.

Border

Projects a 4:3 image fully within a 16:9 screen by keeping the aspect ratio at 4:3.

Clock

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

CLR Temp (Color temperature)

Function that can be used to adjust the color temperature to suit the type of image input to the projector. Decrease the color temperature to create warmer, reddish images for natural flesh tones, or increase to create cooler, bluish images for a brighter picture.

DHCP

Stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Procedure that automatically assigns network settings such as IP addresses from the server.

Digital Shift

Shifts image up or down easily by ⚠️ but- tons when RESIZE mode of input image is BOR- DER, STRETCH or SMART STRETCH of the video or the DTV signals.

Dot by dot

Mode that projects images in their native resolution.

DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

Display digital interface that also supports Analog interfaces.

Freeze

Temporarily freezes a moving image.

GAMMA

Image quality enhancement function that offers a richer image by brightening the darker portions of the image without altering the brightness of the brighter portions. You can select four different modes: STANDARD, PRESENTATION, CINEMA and GAME.

IEEE802.11b

International communication standard for wireless LANs.

IP Address

Stands for Internet Protocol address. Code number for identifying devices connected to the network. It is displayed as 192.168.0.1 where every fourth digit is a period.

Keylock Level

Mode that can lock the operation of projector buttons to prevent mischief.

Keystone correction

Function to digitally correct a distorted image when the projector is set up at an angle, smoothens out jaggies on keystone images and compresses the image not only horizontally but vertically keeping the 4:3 aspect ratio.

Password

A password is set so that changes cannot be made in the settings of the "Options (2)" menu.

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 in Picture

Allows you to add video images onto a data screen image, providing you with even more effective presentations.

Progressive Mode

The progressive display projects a smoother video image. You can select three different modes: 2D Progressive, 3D Progressive and Film Mode.

Projector name

Name for identifying the projector. You can any desirable name using a combination of alphanumeric characters or symbols (max. 15 characters).

RESIZE

Allows you to modify or customize the picture display mode to enhance the input image. You can select six different modes: NORMAL, FULL, DOT BY DOT, BORDER, STRETCH and SMART STRETCH.

Smart Stretch

Projects the image fully in a 16:9 screen by enlarging only the surrounding areas while keeping the aspect ratio in the middle part of the image at 4:3.

sRGB

An international standard of color reproduction regulated by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). As the fixed color area has been decided by the IEC, the color changes according to DLP features, so that the images are displayed in a natural tint based on an original image, when switching to the "sRGB" mode.

SSID

Stands for Service Set ID. Name for identifying "Groups" of devices connected to a wireless LAN. Wireless data transmissions can be done only with devices that carry the same SSID (group name). You can set any desirable SSDI using a combination of alphanumeric characters or symbols (max. 32 characters).

Startup Image

The image displayed when the projector is turned on.

Status function

Displays the settings of each adjustment item.

Stretch

Mode that stretches the 4:3 image horizontally to display it fully on a 16:9 screen.

Wireless channel

A wireless channel is a frequency used by wireless LAN cards in wireless communications. If other wireless LAN networks are in use near the location of the projector, make sure that different channels have been set on both the projector and the wireless LAN so as to avoid interference.

WiFi

Product brand compliant to WiFi IEEE802.11b.
