Caution Concerning Lamp Replacement

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, 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.
■ 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.

Caution

• Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp will be very hot and may cause burns or injury.
• Wait at least one hour after the power cord is disconnected to allow the surface of the lamp unit to fully cool before removing the lamp unit.
• Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp unit or the inside of the projector.
• Do not loosen other screws except for the lamp unit cover and lamp unit.
• Make sure to reset the lamp timer only when replacing the lamp. If you reset the lamp timer and continue to use the same lamp, this may cause the lamp to become damaged or explode.

■ Carefully change the lamp by following the instructions described on pages 63 to 65. * If you wish, you may have the lamp replaced at your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center.

* If the new lamp does not light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center for repair.

Observe 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 “Regarding the Lamp” on page 63.

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.

Rest your eyes occasionally.

■Continuously watching the screen for long hours will cause eye strain. Take regular breaks to rest your eyes.

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.

Caution regarding placing of the projector

■Place the projector on a level site within the adjustment range (9 degrees) of the adjustment foot.

Two diagrams showing a hand holding a red X sign and a blue circle on a surface, with no text or symbols present.

■After the projector is purchased, a faint smell from the vent may appear when the power is first turned on. This is normal and is not a malfunction. It will disappear after the projector is used for a while.

When using the projector in high-altitude areas such as mountains (at altitudes of approximately 1,500 meters (4,900 feet) or more)

- When you use the projector in high-altitude areas with thin air, set “Fan Mode” to “High”. Neglecting this can affect the longevity of the optical system. - Use the projector at altitudes of 2,300 meters (7,500 feet) or less.

Warning about placing the projector in a high position

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

Do not subject the projector to hard impact and/or vibration.

■Protect the lens so as not to hit or damage the surface of the lens.

Avoid locations with extremes of temperature.

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

Do not block the exhaust and intake 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 vent 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 61 and 62.) 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

If you are not to use the projector for a long time or before moving the projector, make certain you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables connected to it.
■Do not carry the projector by holding the lens.
■Do not expose the projector to direct sunlight or place next to heat sources. Doing so may affect the cabinet color or cause deformation of the plastic cover.

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, make sure you use an appropriate power cord for the country you are in.

Temperature monitor function

TEMP.

If the temperature inside the projector increases, due to blockage of the air vents, or the setting location, the temperature warning indicator will blink. And if the temperature keeps on rising, “TEMP. illuminate in the lower left corner of the picture with the temperature warning indicator blinking. If this state continues, the lamp will turn off, the cooling fan will run and then the projector will enter Standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on pages 61 and 62 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.

Viewing Stereoscopic 3D Images

Precautions on Viewing Stereoscopic 3D Images

Before viewing stereoscopic 3D images, please read this section carefully.

WARNING

■ Under normal conditions, viewing stereoscopic 3D images is safe for any duration that you would normally view your screen. However, some people may experience discomfort. The following precautions are recommended to minimize the potential for experiencing visual problems or any adverse symptoms.

■ Take regular breaks, at least 5 to 15 minutes after every 30 to 60 minutes of stereoscopic 3D viewing.

* Based on the guidelines issued by the 3D Consortium revised December 10, 2008.

- Maintain an appropriate distance from the screen. Viewing from too close a distance can strain your eyes. If you experience eye strain, immediately discontinue viewing. If you experience any of the following symptoms during viewing:

- nausea, queasiness/dizziness, headache, blurry vision or double vision that lasts longer than few seconds

Do not engage in any potentially hazardous activity (for example, driving a vehicle) until your symptoms have completely gone away. If symptoms persist, discontinue use and do not resume stereoscopic 3D viewing without discussing your symptoms with a physician.

- As you get more comfortable viewing stereoscopic 3D:

• Adjust the parallax on the 3D-video playback equipment. (You may not be able to adjust the parallax on some models of equipment.)
• Adjust the projected image to the most comfortable viewing size by zooming. (Projecting images on the smallest or largest screen size possible may eliminate the stereoscopic effect and strain your eyes.)
• Use the DLP® Link™ Invert function to properly set the video for your left and right eyes. (For details on using "DLP® Link™ Invert", see the section on its operation in this operation manual.)

■The following people should limit stereoscopic 3D viewing:

– Children under 6 years of age (to protect the eye growth process)
- People with a history of photosensitivity
- People with heart disease
- People in poor health
- People who are sleep deprived
- People who are physically tired
- People under the influence of drugs or alcohol

■Epilepsy

A small percentage of the population may experience epileptic seizures when viewing certain types of images that contain flashing patterns of light.

IF YOU OR ANY MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY HAS A HISTORY OF EPILEPSY

The following people should consult a physician before viewing stereoscopic 3D images.

• Anyone with a history of epilepsy, or who has a family member with a history of epilepsy
• Children under 6 years of age
• Anyone who has ever experienced epileptic seizures or sensory disturbances triggered by flashing light effects

SOME LIGHT PATTERNS MAY INDUCE SEIZURES IN PERSONS WITH NO PRIOR HISTORY OF EPILEPSY

Discontinue use if you experience any of the following symptoms while viewing stereoscopic 3D images.

• Involuntary movements, eye or muscle twitching

Information on the 3D Projection Function

- To display 3D images, this projector requires:

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

1) Source devices that support the field sequential format - For details on the supported signals, see the Compatibility Chart in this operation manual.
2) 3D LCD shutter glasses that support the DLP ^ Link ^TM* system - Contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer for purchasing details. * DLP ^ Link ^TM is a trademark of Texas Instruments.

- The projected image may become dark when using the 3D projection function (with “DLP® Link™” set to “On”).

- When “DLP ^ Link ^TM ” is set to “On”, the following functions may not work fully or may not be available at all.

- Keystone/Resize/Magnify

• 3D formats except for the field sequential method, such as ones used for Blu-ray 3D or DVD prepackaged media, are not compatible with this projector. (As of November 2012)
• If the power of your left and right eyes greatly differs and you primarily use one eye for viewing the images, the images will not appear in 3D.

In addition, images may be difficult to view in 3D or images may not be able to be viewed in 3D depending on the individual or the content being displayed. The stereoscopic effect varies with the individual.

• 3D viewing is possible within the range that the 3D LCD shutter glasses are able to receive light signals reflected by the screen. However, most 3D images are manufactured to be viewed from directly in front of the screen, so 3D viewing is recommended directly in front of the screen as much as possible.
• The range for receiving signals varies depending on the 3D LCD shutter glasses. For details, see the operation manual of your 3D LCD shutter glasses.
  • 3D images may not be able to be played back correctly on your computer.

Appendix

■How the 3D Projection Function (DLP Link™) Works

The 3D projection function of this projector is compatible with the DLP ^ Link ^TM system. To watch 3D images, you use a pair of 3D LCD shutter glasses that alternately display the projected images for the left and right eyes and are synchronized with a control (light) signal.

Diagram showing light rays interacting with a screen and a detector, no text or symbols present

Shutter glasses control light signal*

* The control light signal is transmitted from the lens of the projector, reflected by the screen, and received by the light reception sensor on the 3D LCD shutter glasses. Therefore, the range of 3D viewing varies depending on the specifications of the 3D LCD shutter glasses (light signal receiving sensitivity).

For details, see the operation manual of your 3D LCD shutter glasses.

As a part of policy of continuous improvement, SHARP reserves the right to make design and specification changes for product improvement without prior notice. The performance specification figures indicated are nominal values of production units. There may be some deviations from these values in individual units.

This SHARP projector uses a DLP ^ chip. This very sophisticated panel contains 1,024,000 (PG-LW3500/PG-LW3000)/786,432(PG-LX3500/PG-LX3000)pixels (micromirrors). 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 pixels within acceptable tolerances which may result in inactive dots on the picture screen. This will not affect the picture quality or the life expectancy of the unit.
