Ensure that you 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 replacement. See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 93.

Caution 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 vents and 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 be safely tilted to a maximum angle of 9 degrees.

- Placement should be within 9 degrees of horizontal. If you have application requiring tilt angle exceeding 9 degrees, please check with your local Sharp sales office.

Two diagrams showing a car ramp and a mechanical component with a red X mark, both without any text or symbols.

Warning about placing the projector in a high position

■ When placing the projector in a high position, ensure to secure it carefully to avoid personal injury caused by the projector falling down.

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 cause eye strain. Ensure to occasionally rest your eyes.

Avoid locations with extremes of temperature.

■ The operating temperature of the projector is from 41^ F to 104^ F ( +5^ C to +40^ C).

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

Do not block the intake and exhaust vents.

• Allow at least 11 ^13/16 inches (30 cm) of space between the exhaust vent and the nearest wall or obstruction.
  ■ Ensure that the intake vents and the exhaust vent are not obstructed.
  If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection circuit will automatically put the projector into standby mode to prevent overheat damage. This does not indicate a malfunction (See pages 91 and 92.). 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.

Caution regarding usage of the projector

• When using the projector, ensure not to subject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this can result in damage. Take extra care with the lens. If you are not to use the projector for a long time, ensure to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables connected to it.
  ■ Do not use the projector while holding the lens.
  ■ When storing the projector, ensure to attach the lens cap to the projector. (See page 13.)
  ■ Do not expose the projector to direct sunlight or near heat sources. The projector may change color or become deformed.

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, ensure to use an 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, and "TEMP. luminate 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 91 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 cause damage due to rise in internal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.

Optional lens installation

■ Be sure to have service personnel install the optional lenses.

Maintenance

Cleaning the projector

■ Ensure the power cord is unplugged 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 to the projector for long periods.

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

Mild detergent diluted with water Mild detergent Wax Thinner

■ Wipe off dirt gently with a soft flannel cloth.
■ When the dirt is hard to remove, soak a cloth in a mild 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 use.

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, ensure not to scrape or hit the lens.

Cleaning Paper

Cleaning the air vents and the intake vent cover

■ Use a vacuum cleaner to clean dust from the exhaust vent, the intake vents and the intake vent cover (on the bottom of the projector).

Info

- If you want to clean the air vents and the intake vent cover during projector operation, ensure to press 📄 on the projector or STANDBY on the remote control and put the projector into standby mode. After the cooling fan has stopped, unplug the power cord from the AC socket and clean the air vents and the intake vent cover.

Note

• The air vents and the intake vent cover should be cleaned every 100 hours of use. Clean the air vents and the intake vent cover more often when the projector is used in a dusty or smoky location.
- Ensure the intake vent cover is securely installed. The power will not turn on unless it is correctly installed.

Maintenance Indicators

■The warning lights on the projector indicate problems inside the projector.
If a problem occurs, either the temperature warning indicator or the lamp indicator will illuminate red, and the projector will enter the standby mode. After the projector has entered the standby mode, follow the procedures given below.

About the temperature warning indicator

TEMP.

If the temperature inside the projector increases, due to blockage of the air vents, or the setting location, "TEMP." will illuminate in the lower left corner of the picture. If the temperature keeps on rising, the lamp will turn off and the temperature warning indicator will blink, the cooling fan will run for a further 90 seconds, and then the projector will enter the standby mode. After "TEMP." appears, ensure to perform the measures described on page 92.

About the lamp indicator

Change The Lamp. (LAMP 1)

"Change The Lamp. (LAMP 2)" is displayed when the remaining life of the lamp 2 becomes 5% or less.

■When the remaining lamp life becomes 5% or less, “☒” (yellow) and “Change The Lamp. (LAMP 1/2)” will be displayed on the screen.
■When the percentage becomes 0%, it will change to “☒” (red), the lamp will automatically turn off. At this time, the lamp indicator will illuminate in red.

If you try to turn on the projector a fourth time without replacing the lamp, the lamp whose life is 0% will not light up.

Maintenance indicator			Problem	Cause Possible solution
	Normal	Abnormal
Temperature warning indicator	Off	Red on (Standby)	The internal temperature is abnormally high.	• Blocked air intake
				• Cooling fan break-down• Internal circuit failure• Clogged air intake• Clogged intake vent cover
Lamp indicators 1, 2	Green on (Green blinks when the lamp is warming up.)	Red on	The lamp does not illuminate.	• The lamp is shut down abnormally.
			Time to change the lamp.	• Remaining lamp life becomes 5% or less.
		Red on (Standby)	The lamp does not illuminate.	• Burnt-out lamp• Lamp circuit failure
Power indicator	Green on/ Red on	Red blinks	The power indicator blinks in red when the projector is on.	• The intake vent cover is open.

Info

• If the temperature warning indicator blinks and the projector enters the standby mode, the temperature warning indicator starts to illuminate. Check whether any of the ventilation holes are blocked (see page 9) and then try turning the power back on. Wait until the projector has cooled down completely before plugging in the power cord and turning the power back on. (At least 10 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.
• 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

Hg LAMP CONTAINS MERCURY For State Lamp Disposal Information

www.lamprecycle.org or 1-800-BE-SHARP

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 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 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 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 assure safe operation.

Replacing the Lamp

Caution

• Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp will be very hot and may cause burn or injury.

Glossary

Advanced intelligent compression (Page 97)

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

Aspect ratio (Page 48)

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 (Page 70)

Optimizes projected computer images by automatically adjusting certain characteristics.

Background (Page 77)

Initial setting image projected when no signal is being output.

Border (Page 49)

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

Clock (Page 68)

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

CLR Temp (Color temperature) (Page 61)

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) (Page 64)

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

Dot by Dot (Page 48)

Mode that projects images in their native resolution.

Keylock Level (Page 85)

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

Keystone Correction (Page 41)

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.

Phase (Page 68)

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.

Pict in Pict (Page 74)

The Pict in Pict (picture in picture) function allows you to display two pictures on the same screen. You can display the image input from a video as an inset picture overlapping the main picture input from a computer.

Picture Mode (Page 60)

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.

Progressive (Page 62)

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

Resize (Page 48)

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.

Shifting the lens (Page 38)

Function to adjust the position of the projected image for the position of the screen by shifting the lens horizontally and vertically.

Smart Stretch (Page 49)

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 (Page 64)

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 "C.M.S. Adjustment" is set to "sRGB".

Stack Setting (Page 84)

Setting for the stack projection that allows you to increase the brightness of an image by stacking multiple projectors and projecting same image simultaneously. You can control projectors for the stack projection by assigning a projector as the master and the other projectors as the slaves.

Stretch (Page 49)

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

System Lock (Page 79)

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