SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

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.

How to set up the projector and screen

Caution: When setting up the projector

  • Do not place it in humid or dusty places, or places where the air is scoty or full of cigarette smoke. If the lens, mirror, or other optical components become dirty, the picture will blur or darken, making viewing difficult.
  • Do not expose to extreme heat or cold.
    Operating temperature: 5°C to 40°C
    Storage temperature: -20°C to 60°C
  • Do not tilt the projector more than 10^ .

■ 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 using the screen in a bright or sunny room.
The best picture will be obtained when the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the screen. Position the projector and screen as shown.

Example of a standard setup
TOP VIEW The projector lens should be centred in the middle of the screen. 90° Lens centre

SIDE VIEW If the projector and screen are not centred properly, the picture will be distorted, making viewing difficult. Lens centre 90°

■ Using the horizontal reverse function makes the following setups possible.

Example of a reversed image setup

  • By placing a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens and using the reverse function, the image reflected from the mirror can be projected onto the screen. (See GB-21.)
  • Rear projection with a rear projection screen is also possible when using the reverse function.

Audience Side 90° Mirror

The projector lens should be centred in the middle of the screen.

Rear Projection 90°

If the projector and screen are not centred properly, the picture will be distorted, making viewing difficult.

Using the Focus, Keystone and Size Correction Functions

  • Intense light hazard. Do not attempt to look into the aperture and lens while the projector is operating.

Maintenance Indicators

■ The warning lights on the projector indicate problems inside the projector.
There are two warning lights—a TEMPERATURE indicator which warns that the projector is too hot, and a LAMP replacement indicator which lets you know when to change the bulb.
If a problem occurs, either the TEMPERATURE indicator or the LAMP replacement indicator will light up red, and the power will shut off. After turning off the power, follow the procedures given below.

POWER LAMP TEMP. LAMP REPLACEMENT indicator TEMP. TEMPERATURE indicator

Warning IndicatorSymptomProblemPossible Solution
TEMPERATURE indicatorThe internal temperature is abnormally high.•Blocked air intake.• Relocate projector to a proper location.
•Clogged air filter.• Clean the filter.(See page 23.)
•Cooling fan breakdown.•Internal circuit failure.• Take the projector to your nearest Authorized Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer for repair.
LAMP REPLACEMENT indicatorThe lamp does not light up.•Burnt-out lamp.• Carefully change the lamp.• Take the projector to your nearest Authorized Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer for repair.
•Lamp circuit failure.

Notes:

  • If the TEMPERATURE indicator light comes on, after servicing, please wait until the projector has cooled down completely before turning the power back on. (At least 5 minutes.)
  • When the power is turned off and then turned on again, as during a brief rest, the LAMP replacement indicator may be triggered, preventing the power from going on. When this happens, take the power plug out of the AC outlet and put it back in again.

Our projector uses an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panel. This very sophisticated panel contains 307,200 pixels. (RGB Trio) TFTs (Thin Film Transistors). As with any high technology electronic equipment such as large screen TVs, video systems and/or video cameras, there are certain acceptable tolerances that the equipment must conform to. Sharp's acceptable tolerances permit a total of 35 inactive

TFTs, 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.

Specifications are subject to change without notice.
