香港電器安全規格

(國際電工委員會規格適合)

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 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.

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 Authorised LCD Projector Dealer or Service Centre.

Notes on 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 10 cm of space between the 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.

NOTE

- Do not touch the lens when adjusting the focus or zoom.

Keystone setting

Trapezoidal distortion is caused when the projector image is positioned away from the centre axis of the screen. This function allows you to correct the keystone effect for excellent picture quality.

NOTE

- Straight lines and the edges of the displayed image may appear jagged, when adjusting the KEYSTONE setting.

V-size setting

During keystone correction an error can occur in the aspect ratio depending on the amount of lens shift. Use the V-SIZE fine-tuning function to correct this error.

NOTE

- V-SIZE is only displayed and can only be adjusted when performing KEYSTONE correction.

Digital shift setting

For easier viewing, this function shifts the image projected on the screen up or down eliminating either the upper or lower black band found in 16:9 and other wide aspect ratios.

NOTE

- Digital shift function only works with BORDER, STRETCH or SMART STRETCH of VIDEO and DTV inputs. (See page 43 for details.) The DIGITAL SHIFT screen is not displayed when projecting images other than WIDE.

Digital Shift - VL LINE MAX:0.01 100% FLOW RESET

Press ▼.

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 centred in the middle of the screen. If the lens centre 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 colours, 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.

Four optional lenses from Sharp are also available for specialised application. Please see your local Sharp Authorised LCD Projector Dealer for details on all the lenses. (Refer to the lens operation manual when attaching a lens.) You can install the AN-W6EZ and AN-T6EZ optional lenses yourself. However, be sure to have service personnel install the AN-P9MX and AN-P48EZ optional lenses.

  • 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.
  • Four gamma settings are available to allow for differences in the images displayed and in the brightness of the room.
  • 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.

Gamma Modes

Gamma modeSelected Mode
STANDARDStandard picture without gamma correction.
PRESENTATIONBrightens darker portions of image for more enhanced presentations.
CINEMAGives greater depth to darker portions of image for a more exciting theatre experience.
CUSTOMAllows you to adjust gamma value using Sharp Advanced Presentation Software.

1 Press GAMMA. Each time GAMMA is pressed, the gamma level toggles as shown on the left.
2 To return to the standard image, press UNDO while "GAMMA" is displayed on the screen.

You can adjust this setting by accessing the "Button Assign" list on your GyroRemote. Choose popup list "4/5" and press Function Assign (1). (See page 33).

NOTE

  • The CUSTOM setting of VIDEO mode optimises the video source to reproduce the image more beautifully. It darkens bright portions of the image and gives greater depth to darker portions of the image. Select CUSTOM as your default setting if you prefer a smooth textured image to a sharply contrasted one.
  • STANDARD and CINEMA settings of VIDEO mode (except COMPONENT 480P/720P/1080i) incorporate a DYNAMIC GAMMA function for optimising GAMMA correction frame by frame in real time, thus providing a more beautiful image.
  • PRESENTATION settings are the same for both RGB and VIDEO modes.

This projector can be used together with other projectors managed using the accompanied Sharp Advanced Presentation Software—Professional Edition to create a videowall projection. Whereas conventional videowall technology required the use of an image distributor, this projector videowall feature enables easy image settings from a PC when inputting a single video source. This function greatly simplifies videowall setup.

RS-232C OUTPUTS also realise the simple daisy chain connection. The master projector directly connected to the computer can make the daisy chain connection with multiple slave projectors. For details on setting master or slave, see page 60.

  • Use a videowall projector stand, sold separately, when using this function.
  • Image quality may deteriorate when picture signals are input through multiple projectors in a daisy chain connection.

NOTE

  • For more information on this feature, see the operation manuals accompanying the Sharp Advanced Presentation Software—Professional Edition.
  • When UXGA signal is displayed, the videowall can not be set by Sharp Advanced Presentation Software—Professional Edition.

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.

Command format

C1 C2 C3 C4 P1 P2 P3 P4 Command 4-digit Parameter 4-digit Return code (0DH)

Response code format

Normal response

SHARP XG-P20XE - Basic format - 2

Problem response (communication error or incorrect command)

SHARP XG-P20XE - Basic format - 3

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

NOTE

- When using the computer control function of the projector, the projector operating status cannot be read to the computer. Therefore, confirm the status by transmitting the display commands for each adjustment menu and checking the status with the On-screen Display. If the projector receives a command other than a menu display command, it will execute the command without displaying the On-screen Display.

Commands

EXAMPLE

SHARP XG-P20XE - EXAMPLE - 1

- 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.
  • This projector can receive 640 × 350 VESA format VGA signals, however, "640 × 400" will appear on the screen.
  • When receiving 1,600 × 1,200 VESA format UXGA signals, sampling occurs and the image is displayed with 1,024 lines, causing part of the image to be blocked.

This SHARP projector uses LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panels. These very sophisticated panels contain 786,432 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.

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

Optimises projected computer images by automatically adjusting certain characteristics.

Background

Initial setting image projected when no signal is being input.

Border

Displays the 4:3 image as the biggest size (768×576) that can be displayed on the WIDE mode screen (1024×576).

Clock

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

CLR Temp (Colour temperature)

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

Shifts image up or down easily by ▲/▼ buttons when RESIZE mode of input image is BORDER, STRETCH or SMART STRETCH of COMPUTER (except for SXGA and UXGA), VIDEO and DTV inputs.

DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)

Provides high quality images with minimal dot crawl and cross colour noise.

Dot by dot

Mode that projects images in their native resolution.

DVI

Digital Visual Interface that supports both digital and analog displays.

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.

GyroRemote

Remote control device with a built-in sensor that can operate projectors and computers. GyroRemote communicates with a projector via radio signals and therefore does not encounter the line-of-sight problems found in infrared devices.

Intelligent compression and expansion

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

Intelligent digital keystone correction

Function to digitally correct a distorted image when the projector is set up at an angle, smooths out jaggies on keystone images and compresses the image not only horizontally but vertically keeping the 4:3 aspect ratio, and at the same time, calculates the aspect ratio automatically adjusting to the lens shift width.

Keylock level

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

Lens shift

The lens can be easily raised and lowered to minimize or eliminate "Keystone" type effect.

Magnification (Enlarge)

Digitally zooms in on a portion of an image.

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.

Presentation tools

Helpful tools used to emphasise keypoints throughout a presentation.

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 customise 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.

RS-232C

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

Set Inputs

Function to limit inputs. For example, when setting Input 2 to "OFF", the input is switchable only between Input 1 and Input 3, skipping Input 2.

Smart Stretch

Mode that stretches the right and left sides of the 4:3 image horizontally while maintaining the aspect ratio around the centre of the image to display it on the WIDE screen.

Stack Setting

Prevents trouble with adjustment and operation when stack projecting. When setting two projectors, one to master and the other to slave, the slave follows the master's operation.

Status function

Displays the settings of each adjustment item.

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 colour signal pin.
