Model No.: PG-C45S

Serial No.:

This equipment complies with the requirements of Directives 89/336/EEC and 73/23/EEC as amended by 93/68/EEC.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 10A 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 10A 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 85.

车温注意 CAUTION PRECAUTION PRECAUTION BQC-XG050 X/1

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 12 degrees.

■ Placement should be within ±12 degrees.

Two technical illustrations of a mechanical device with cross marks, shown from different angles (no text or symbols present)

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 occasionally rest your eyes.

Avoid locations with high or low temperature.

■ The operating temperature for the projector is from 41^ F to 104^ F ( +5^ C to +40^ C). ■The storage temperature for 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 7.9 inches (20 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 unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables connected to it.

Other connected equipment

■When connecting a computer or other audio-visual equipment to the projector, make the connections AFTER turning off the projector and 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, be sure to use the appropriate power cord for the country you are in.

Temperature monitor function

If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems or blockage of the air vents, "Xnd" Temp. link 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 blink, and after a 90-second cooling-off period the power will shut off. Refer to "Maintenance Indicators" on page 83 for details.

Info

- 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. This does not indicate malfunction. - Do not unplug the power cord during projection or cooling fan operation. This can create damage due to the rise in internal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.

Setting up the Screen

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

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.

An optional lens (AN-C12MZ) from Sharp is also available for specialized application. Contact your local Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer for details on the lens. (Refer to the lens installation manual when attaching a lens.)

The formula for picture size and projection distance

L1 (ft) = (0.0339X - 0.0669) / 0.3048

L2 (ft) = (0.027X - 0.0683) / 0.3048

H (in) = (-0.0424X + 0.0079) / 2.54

Note

• There is an error of ± 3% in the formula above.
• Values with a minus (−) sign indicate the distance of the lens center below the bottom of the image.

Maintenance

Cleaning the projector

■Be sure to unplug 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 finish on the cabinet.

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

Do not attach rubber or plastic items on the projector for long time.

The effects of some of the agents in the plastic may cause damage to the quality or finish of the projector.

Wax Tin Pr

■Wipe off dirt gently with a soft flannel cloth.

Neutral detergent diluted with water

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

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 film on the surface of the lens.

Regarding the Lamp

Lamp

It is recommended that the lamp (sold separately) be replaced when the remaining lamp life becomes 6% or less, or when you notice a significant deterioration in the picture and color quality. The lamp life (percentage) can be checked with the on-screen display. See page 70.
■ 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.

* Temporary noise may be visible with vertical frequencies above 100Hz if OSD functions are activated.

This SHARP projector uses a LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panel. This very sophisticated panel contains 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 ac-

ceptable tolerances that the equipment must conform to. This unit has some inactive pixels within acceptable tolerances which may result in inactive dots on the picture screen. This will not affect the picture quality or the life expectancy of the unit.

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.

C.M.S. (Color Management System)

Function allows you individually adjust the display characteristics of six colors (R: Red, Y: Yellow, G: Green, C: Cyan, B: Blue, M: Magenta)

Digital Shift Setting

Shifts image up or down easily by ▲, ▼ buttons when RESIZE mode of input image is BORDER, STRETCH or SMART STRETCH of the video on the DTV signals.

Dot by dot

Mode that projects images in their native resolution.

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 CUSTOM.

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.

Notevision Lock Down

A new ceiling mounting mechanism that is effective in anti-theft and realizing improved installation strength.

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.

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 LCD features, so that the images are displayed in a natural tint based on an original image, when switching to the "sRGB" mode.

Stretch

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