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 Authorized SharpVision Service Center or Dealer for replacement. See "Replacing the Lamp" on pages 80-82.

SHARP XV-Z12000 - Caution concerning the lamp unit - 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 an Authorized SharpVision 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.

The projector may safely be tilted to a maximum angle of 5 degrees.

■Placement should be within ±5 degrees.

SHARP XV-Z12000 - The projector may safely be tilted to a maximum angle of 5 degrees. - 1

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.

Avoid locations with high or low temperature.

■ The operating temperature for the projector is from 41^ F to 95^ F ( +5^ C to +35^ C).
■The storage temperature for the projector is from -4^ to 140^ ( -20^ to +60^ ).

Do not block the intake and exhaust vents.

■Allow at least 11.8" (30 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.

Temperature monitor function

If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems or blockage of the air vents, "and

SHARP XV-Z12000 - Temperature monitor function - 1

"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 78 for details.

SHARP XV-Z12000 - Temperature monitor function - 2

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.

SHARP XV-Z12000 - Setting up the Screen - 1

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.

Standard Setup (Front Projection)

■ Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size. (See page 31.)

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 after approximately 1,900 cumulative hours of use or when you notice a significant deterioration in the picture and color quality. The lamp usage time can be checked with “Lamp Timer” in the “Options” menu on the menu screen.
■ For lamp replacement, please consult your nearest Authorized SharpVision 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 an Authorized SharpVision Service Center or Dealer. For the name of the nearest Authorized SharpVision Service Center or Dealer, please call toll-free: 1-877-DTV-SHARP (1-877-388-7427). 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 Authorized SharpVision Service Center or Dealer to remove the damaged lamp and assure safe operation.

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.
  • In the case of transmitting commands during standby, it takes a maximum of 30 seconds until the response code is received.
  • When the power is turned on during standby with the “POWER ON” command, wait for at least 30 seconds after the power has been turned on, and then transmit the next command.

SHARP XV-Z12000 - Info - 1

Note

- When using the computer control function of the projector, the projector's operating status cannot be read by 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:

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

Glossary

Advanced intelligent compression

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

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.

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

The image can be moved vertically when the image display mode is set to SMART STRETCH or CINEMA ZOOM during input of video or 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.

IP Mode

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

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.

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 six different modes: SIDE BAR, SMART STRETCH, CINEMA ZOOM, STRETCH, DOT BY DOT or NORMAL.

Smart Stretch

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

Stretch

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