Be sure to read the following safeguards when setting up your projector.
Caution concerning the lamp unit
There is a potential hazard of glass particles if the lamp ruptures. In case of lamp rupture, contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Service Center or Dealer for replacement. See "Replacing the Lamp" on page 59.
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 part of filter must be cleaned more often than usual. 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 a Sharp Authorized Service Center or Dealer.
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.
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.
■Watching the screen for long hours continuously will make your eyes tired. Be sure to occasionally rest your eyes.
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°F to 140°F (-20°C to +60°C)
Notes on Operation
■The exhaust ventilative holes, the lamp unit cover and adjacent areas may get extremely hot during projector operation. To prevent injury, do not touch these areas until they have sufficiently cooled down.
■Allow at least 1 foot (30 cm) of space between the exhaust ventilative hole 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.
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 other audio-visual equipment or a computer 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.
Temperature monitor function
If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems or blockage of the air vents, "and
"TEMP.ink in the lower left corner of the picture. If the tem-
perature 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 58 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.

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.
- The cooling fan keeps the internal temperatures of the projector constant and this function is controlled automatically. The sound of the cooling fan may change during operation because the fan speed may change and this is not a malfunction.
- 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 51.
■ For lamp replacement, please consult your nearest Sharp Authorized Service Center or Dealer.
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 Service Center or Dealer.

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, 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 unit 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 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 Service Center or Dealer to remove the damaged lamp and assure safe operation.

Glossary
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.
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.
Composite sync
Signal combining horizontal and vertical sync pulses.
Digital keystone correction
Function to digitally correct a distorted image when the projector is set up at an angle, smoothes out jaggies on keystone images and compresses the image not only horizontally but vertically keeping the 16 : 9 aspect ratio.
DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
Display digital interface that also supports analog interfaces.
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 from four different modes: Standard, Cinema 1, Cinema 2 and Cinema 3.
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.
Resize
Allows you to modify or customize the picture display mode to enhance the input image. You can select from four different modes: SIDE BAR, SMART STRETCH, CINEMA ZOOM and STRETCH.
Stretch
Mode that stretches the 4:3 image horizontally to display it on the wide screen.
Sync on green
Video signal mode of a computer which overlaps horizontal and vertical sync signal to green color signal pin.
