Frequently Asked Questions - XG-C55X SHARP

How do I connect my laptop to the projector?

Connect your laptop using a VGA cable to the computer input. Turn on both devices and select the appropriate input source via the remote control. If you need audio, connect the audio cable to the audio input.

What is the maximum image size I can project?

The maximum image size depends on the projection distance. With a 1.2x zoom and a brightness of 3000 ANSI lumens, you can project from 40 to 300 inches diagonally. For best results, keep the ambient light low.

How often should I replace the lamp?

The lamp has an expected life of up to 3000 hours in normal mode. Replace the lamp when the image becomes dim or the lamp indicator lights up. Use a genuine replacement lamp model AN-C55LP.

How do I clean the projector's air filter?

Clean the air filter every 100 hours of use. Remove the filter cover, wash the filter with water, dry it completely, and reinstall. A dirty filter can cause overheating.

Why is the projected image blurred?

Adjust the focus ring on the lens until the image is sharp. Also, ensure the projector is at the correct distance from the screen. If the image has a trapezoid shape, use keystone correction.

How do I adjust the keystone distortion?

Use the keystone buttons on the projector or remote control to correct vertical distortion (up to ±20 degrees). Press the + or - buttons until the sides are parallel.

What is the optimal projection distance for a 100-inch screen?

For a 100-inch diagonal screen, place the projector approximately 3.5 to 4.2 meters away, depending on the zoom setting. Use the zoom ring to fine-tune the image size.

What precautions should I take when installing the projector?

Install the projector on a flat, stable surface. Keep it away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Ensure adequate ventilation around the projector. Do not block the air vents.

Can I use the projector with a security lock?

Yes, the projector is equipped with a Kensington security slot. You can use a compatible security lock to protect the projector from theft.

How do I set up the projector for a presentation?

First, place the projector and screen. Connect your source. Power on the projector and use the auto sync function to adjust the signal. Select the correct input and adjust the image using focus, zoom, and keystone controls.

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 🚗 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.

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.

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.

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 put the projector into the standby mode. 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 unplugging the power cord of the projector from the AC outlet and turning off 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, "X and "TEMP.hk 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 projector will enter the standby mode. 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.

Setup

Using the Adjustment Feet

The height of the projector can be adjusted using the adjustment feet at the front and back of the projector when the surface the projector is placed on is uneven or when the screen is slanted.

The projection of the image can be made higher by adjusting the projector when it is in a location lower than the screen.

1 Press HEIGHT ADJUST.
2 Lift the projector to adjust its height and remove your finger from HEIGHT ADJUST.
3 Rotate the adjustment feet at the back of the projector for fine adjustment.

Note

• When returning the projector to its original position, hold the projector firmly, press HEIGHT ADJUST and then gently lower it.
• The projector is adjustable up to approximately 12 degrees on the front and 3 degrees on the back from the standard position.

Info

• Do not press HEIGHT ADJUST when the adjustment foot is 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 finger caught in the area between the adjustment foot and the projector.

Adjusting the Lens

The image is focused and adjusted to the desired size using the focus ring or zoom knob on the projector.

1 The focus is adjusted by rotating the focus ring.

2 Zooming is adjusted by moving the zoom knob.

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.

Three optional lenses from Sharp are 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.)

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.

■Wipe off dirt gently with a soft flannel cloth.

■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.

■As the surface of the lens can easily get damaged, be sure not to scrape or hit the lens.

Cleaning the exhaust and intake vents

■Use a vacuum cleaner to clean dust from the exhaust vent and the intake vent.

Replacing the Air Filter

Maintenance Indicators

Info

• If the temperature warning indicator illuminates, and the projector enters the standby mode, follow the possible solutions on the previous page and then wait until the projector has cooled down completely before plugging in the power cord and turning the power back on. (At least 5 minutes.)
• If the power is turned off for a brief moment due to power outage or some other cause while using the projector, and the power supply recovers immediately after that, the lamp indicator will illuminate in red and the lamp may not be lit. In this case, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, replace the power cord in the AC outlet and then turn the power on again.
• If you want to clean the air vents during projector operation, be sure to put the projector into the standby mode. After the cooling fan has stopped, clean the vents.
• Do not unplug the power cord after the projector has entered the standby mode and while the cooling fan is running. The cooling fan runs for about 90 seconds.

Regarding the Lamp

Lamp

It is recommended that the lamp (sold separately) be replaced when the remaining lamp life becomes 5% 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.

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.

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 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

Caution

• Do not remove the lamp unit immediately after operation of the projector. The lamp will be hot and touching it can lead to burn or injury.
• Wait at least one hour after the power cord is disconnected to allow the surface of the lamp unit to fully cool before removing the lamp unit.

If the new lamp does not light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center for repair. Purchase a replacement lamp unit of type BQC-XGC55X//1 from your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center. Then carefully change the lamp by following the instructions described in this section. If you wish, you may have the lamp replaced at your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center.

(RS-232C) Specifications and Command Settings

PC control

A computer can be used to control the projector by connecting an RS-232C serial control cable (cross type, sold separately) to the projector. (See page 22 for connection.)

Communication conditions

Set the serial port settings of the computer to match that of the table.

Signal format: Conforms to RS-232C standard. Parity bit: None

Baud rate: 9,600 bps Stop bit: 1 bit

Data length: 8 bits Flow control: None

Basic format

Commands from the computer are sent in the following order: command, parameter, and return code. After the projector processes the command from the computer, it sends a response code to the computer.

Info

- When more than one code is being sent, send each command only after the response code for the previous command from the projector is verified.

- To conserve power in STANDBY mode, the CPU in this model will enter Deep Sleep mode approximately 10 seconds after the last command is received. In the case of transmitting commands during Deep Sleep mode, it takes a maximum of 30 seconds until the response code is received. If subsequent commands are sent to the projector within 10 seconds, the projector will reply immediately. If no further commands are received within 10 seconds, the projector will again return to Deep Sleep mode. Please note that Deep Sleep mode is only activated in STANDBY mode. There is no delayed RS-232C response when the projector is in operation.

- Special commands, "POWR?????" and "TLPS__1" are available for applications that require continuous polling. These commands will not wake the CPU in Deep Sleep mode and the projector will provide immediate reply in STANDBY mode. "1" will indicate Power on, "0" will indicate STANDBY mode. When the power is turned on during standby with the "POWER ON" command, wait for at least 40 seconds after the power has been turned on, and then transmit the next command.

- We suggest disabling the AUTO SEARCH feature before initiating RS-232C communications. If AUTO SEARCH is enabled, it will be necessary to send the STANDBY mode command "POWR__0" two times to power down the projector. (The first "POWR__0" command cancels AUTO SEARCH and the second "POWR__0" command will put the projector into the standby mode.)

Note

- Do not repeatedly or periodically send any commands other than "POWR?????" and "TLPS____1" in STANDBY mode as it will cause problems.

- When the projector is put into the standby mode, a message "Shutting Down. Please Wait." is displayed for about 20 seconds. At that time, if the "POWR__1" command is being sent, "ERR" will be returned and this command is not received.

- When using the computer control function of the projector, the adjustment values cannot be read by the computer. Therefore, confirm the values by transmitting the display commands (e.g. "RARE__0") for each adjustment menu and checking the values with the on-screen display. If the projector receives adjustment/setting commands other than menu display commands, it will execute the commands without displaying the on-screen display.

Commands

Example:

- When "BRIGHT" of INPUT 1 image adjustment is set to -10.

Note

• This projector may not be able to display images from notebook computers in simultaneous (CRT/LCD) mode. Should this occur, turn off the LCD display on the notebook computer and output the display data in "CRT only" mode. Details on how to change display modes can be found in your notebook computer's operation manual.
• When this projector receives 640 × 350 VESA format VGA signals, "640 × 400" appears on the screen.
• When receiving 1,600 × 1,200 VESA format signals, sampling occurs and part of the image may be cut as the image is displayed in 1,024 lines.

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 or 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.
