IMPORTANT

For your assistance in reporting the loss or theft of your Color LCD Projector, please record the Serial Number located on the bottom of the projector and retain this information. Before recycling the packaging, please be sure that you have checked the contents of the carton thoroughly against the list of "Supplied Accessories" on page 15.

Model No.: XG-P25X

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 for 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 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. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

The supplied CD-ROM contains operation instructions in English, German, French, Swedish, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Chinese (Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese), Korean and Arabic. Carefully read through the operation instructions before operating the LCD projector.

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 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 LCD Projector Dealer or Service Center.

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 12 inches (30 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.

• When the distance between the projector and screen is not sufficient for normal rear projection, you can use a mirror to reflect the image onto the screen.
• Place a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens.
• Project the normal image onto the mirror.
• The image reflected from the mirror is projected onto the translucent screen.

CAUTION

- When using a mirror, be sure to carefully position both the projector and the mirror so the light does not shine into the eyes of the audience.

Ceiling-mount Projection

Line drawing of a meeting scene with a presenter and audience (no text or symbols)

• It is recommended that you use the optional Sharp ceiling-mount bracket for this installation.
• Before mounting the projector, contact your nearest Sharp Authorized LCD Projector Dealer or Service Center to obtain the recommended ceiling-mount bracket (sold separately). (AN-XGCM61 ceiling-mount bracket and its AN-EP101AP extension tube (for U.S.A.), or AN-NV6T ceiling-mount bracket and its AN-TK201/AN-TK202 extension tubes (for countries other than the U.S.A.))
• When the projector is in the inverted position, use the upper edge of the screen as the base line.
• Use the projector's menu system to select the appropriate projection mode. (See page 51 for use of this 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
STANDARD	Standard picture without gamma correction.
PRESENTATION	Brightens darker portions of image for more enhanced presentations.
CINEMA	Gives greater depth to darker portions of image for a more exciting theater experience.
CUSTOM	Allows you to adjust gamma value using Sharp Advanced Presentation Software.

2D Progressive

This function is useful to display fast-moving images such as sports and action films. This mode optimizes the image in a displayed frame.

3D Progressive

This function is useful to display relatively slow-moving images such as drama and documentary more clearly. This mode optimizes the image by estimating the movement of a number of preceding and succeeding frames.

Film Mode

Reproduces the image of film source clearly. Displays the optimized image of film transformed with three-two pull down (NTSC and PAL 60Hz) or two-two pull down (PAL 50Hz and SECAM) enhancement to progressive mode images.

* The film source is a digital video recording with the original encoded as is at 24 frames/second. The projector can convert this film source to progressive video at 60 frames/second with NTSC and PAL60Hz or at 50 frames/second with PAL50Hz and SECAM to play back a high-definition image.

NOTE

• When using progressive inputs, these inputs are directly displayed therefore 2D Progressive, 3D Progressive and Film Mode cannot be selected. These modes can be selected in interlace signals other than 1080I.
• In NTSC or PAL60Hz, even if the 3D Progressive mode has been set, the three-two pull down enhancement will be enabled automatically, when the film source has been entered.
• In PAL50Hz or SECAM, the two-two pull down enhancement will be enabled only in the Film Mode, when the film source has been entered.

Videowall

In the past, to setup a video wall, it was necessary to purchase a costly image-processing device, designed exclusively for the purpose.

The XG-P25X has built-in video wall capability that doesn't require additional expensive equipment.

Basic

Following is an example of how to build a 2X2 video wall using 4 projectors as shown above.

NOTE

Install the supplied Sharp Advanced Presentation Software Professional Edition in advance. For installation details, refer to the guide for this software.

1 Select the same RS-232C transmission speed for all projectors. (See page 53 for details on selecting transmission speed.)

2 Set the ID No. for each projector. (See page 54 for details on setting the ID No.)

3 Turn off all the projectors.

4 Connect the computer with Sharp Advanced Presentation Software Professional Edition to the 4 projectors using a RS-232C cable as the Connection Diagram 1 below. (See page 20 for details on connecting RS-232C cable.)

5 Turn on the computer, then launch Sharp Advanced Presentation Software Professional Edition.

6 Select "Use ID Number" at the Operation Mode Setting. (See the Sharp Advanced Presentation Software Professional Edition installation guide for setup details.)

7 Execute Scan at Scan Setting. (See the Sharp Advanced Presentation Software Professional Edition installation guide for details.)

8 Click Power ON at the Multiple Control window. If the projectors are connected and setup correctly, all the projectors will turn on. If power does not turn on, check connections and try again.

9 Group the projectors at Group Setting. (See the Sharp Advanced Presentation Software Professional Edition installation guide for details.)

10 Perform video wall setup at Video Wall Setting. (See the Sharp Advanced Presentation Software Professional Edition installation guide for setup details.)

That completes video wall setup. When the same image signal is input to all the projectors, video wall projection starts.

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 is illuminated or blinks, 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 LCD Projector Dealer or Service Center to remove the damaged lamp and assure safe operation.

PC control

A computer can be used to control the projector by connecting an RS-232C cable (cross type, sold separately) to the projector. (See page 20 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.

Baud rate: 9,600 bps

Data length: 8 bits

Parity bit: None

Stop bit: 1 bit

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.

Command format

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

Response code format

Normal response

Problem response (communication error or incorrect command)

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.
• When the projector is in standby mode, send each command more than 1 minute after the previous command.

Commands

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

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.

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 input.

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.

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 color 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 fully on a 16:9 screen.

Sync on green

Video signal mode of a computer which overlaps horizontal and vertical sync signal to green color signal pin.
