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 Service Center or Dealer for replacement.
See “Regarding the Lamp” on page 48.
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 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.
Caution regarding placing of the projector
Place the projector on a level site within the adjustment
range (±5 degrees) of the adjustment foot.
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 approximate-
ly 4,900 feet (1,500 meters) 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.
Warning about placing the projector in a high
position
When placing the projector in a high position, ensure that
it is secured carefully 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.
Rest your eyes occasionally.
Continuously watching the screen for long hours will
cause eye strain. Be sure to occasionally rest your
eyes.
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 1113/16 inches (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 standby
mode to prevent overheat damage. This does not indi-
cate a malfunction. (See page 46.) Remove the projector
power cord from the wall outlet and wait at least 10 min-
utes. 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.
When turning off the projector, the cooling fan runs to
decrease the internal temperature for a while. Unplug
the power cord after the cooling fan stops. The period
the cooling fan runs will vary, depending on the circum-
stances and the internal temperature.
Caution regarding usage of the projector
When using the projector, be sure not to subject it to
hard impact and/or vibration, as this can result in dam-
age. Take extra care 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.
Do not carry the projector by holding the lens.
When storing the projector, re-attach the lens cap. (See
page 8.)
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.
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, be
sure to use an appropriate power cord for the country
you are in.

Introduction
Temperature monitor function
If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems
or blockage of the air vents, “ ” and “ ” will
illuminate 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 standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indica-
tors/Maintenance” on page 46 for details.
Info
•The cooling fan regulates the internal tempera-
ture, and its performance is automatically con-
trolled. 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.

Setting Up the Projector
Setting Up the Projector
For optimal image quality, position the projector perpendicular to the screen with the projector’s feet flat and
level.
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.
Example of standard setup
Note
•For details, refer to “Picture (Screen) Size and Projection Distance” on page 16.

Picture (Screen) Size and Projection Distance
The projection screen size varies according to the distance from the lens of the projector to the screen. Install
the projector so that projected images are projected onto the screen at the optimum size by referring to the
table below. Use the values in the table as a reference when installing the projector.
When using a wide screen (16:9): In case of displaying the 16:9 picture on the whole of the 16:9 screen.

Before connecting, be sure to unplug the power cord of the projector from the AC outlet and turn off the devices
to be connected. After making all connections, turn on the projector and then the other devices.
Connecting Equipment with HDMI Output Terminal to the HDMI Terminal on the Projector
HDMI is a new specialized interface capable of delivering a video and audio signal to the terminal using just one cable.
Since this projector does not support an audio signal by itself, use an amplifier or other audio device.
For video connection, use a cable that conforms to HDMI standards. Using cables that do not conform to HDMI
standards may result in a malfunction.
Note
•HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a digital AV interface that can deliver a high-definition video
signal, multi-channel audio signal, and bi-directional control signal all in just one cable.
•Because it is compatible with the HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) system, the digital
video signal does not degrade when transmitted, and a high-quality image with a simple connection can
be enjoyed.

Connecting to Video Equipment
Note
•When connecting the projector to the video equipment in this way, select “Signal Type” in the “Options”
menu. See page 44.
•When a DVI to HDMI conversion cable is connected to the HDMI terminal, a proper picture may not be
displayable.
