This SHARP projector uses an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panel. This very sophisticated panel contains 1,024,000
pixels (x RGB) TFTÕs (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 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.

Correcting Trapezoidal
Distortion
Auto V-Keystone Correction
When the image is projected either from the top
or from the bottom towards the screen at an angle,
the image becomes distorted trapezoidally.
The function for correcting trapezoidal distortion
is called Keystone Correction.
This projector is equipped with an “Auto V-Key-
stone Correction” function that automatically cor-
rects any trapezoidal distortion within the pro-
jected image. The correction is made automatically
provided the vertical incline or decline is within
±12 degrees.
Note
• When not using the Auto V-Keystone Cor-
rection function, set “Auto V-Keystone” on
the “SCR-ADJ” menu to “Off”.
Manual Keystone Correction
When you want to make fine adjustments after the
Auto V-Keystone Correction function has been acti-
vated, or when you want to make corrections without
using the Auto V-Keystone Correction function, you
can make corrections manually using the following
procedure.
1 Press KEYSTONE on the remote
control to enter the Keystone Correc-
tion mode.
• You can also use KEYSTONE on the
projector.

Troubleshooting
Check
• Projector power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.
• Power to the external connected devices is off.
• The selected input mode is wrong.
• The AV MUTE function is working.
• Cables incorrectly connected to the rear panel of the projector.
• Remote control batteries have run out.
• External output has not been set when connecting notebook computer.
• The filter cover, lamp unit cover or lamp housing cover is not
installed correctly.
• If the connected DVI digital equipment is turned on before the
ÒDVI-DÓ input mode is selected on the projector, the image may
not be projected properly or may not be displayed at all. Ensure
that the appropriate input mode has been selected on the
projector before you turn on the connected equipment.
• Cables incorrectly connected to the rear panel of the projector.
• ÒBrightÓ is set to minimum position.
• Depending on the computer you are using, an image may not
be projected unless the signal output setting of the computer is
switched to the external output. Refer to the computerÕs
operation manual for how to switch its signal output settings.
• Image adjustments are incorrectly set.
(Video, S-Video Input only)
• Video input system is incorrectly set.
(COMPUTER/COMPONENT 1, 2, DVI-D only)
• Input signal type (RGB/Component) is incorrectly set.
• Adjust the focus.
• The projection distance exceeds the focus range.
• There is fog on the lens. If the projector is carried from a cold
room into a warm room, or if it is suddenly heated,
condensation may form on the surface of the lens and the
image will become blurred. Please set up the projector at least
one hour before it is to be used. If condensation should form,
remove the power cord from the wall outlet and wait for it to
clear.
(Computer Input only)
• Perform ÒSIG-ADJÓ Adjustments. (ÒClockÓ Adjustment)
• Perform ÒSIG-ADJÓ Adjustments. (ÒPhaseÓ Adjustment)
• Noise may appear depending on the computer.
• Cables incorrectly connected to the rear panel of the projector.
• Volume is set to minimum.
• When the projector is connected to an external device and the
volume is set to minimum, the sound is not output even if you
turn up the volume of the external device.
• ÒSpeakerÓ is set to ÒOffÓ.
• Make the necessary adjustments of each item in the ÒSIG-ADJÓ
menu.
• Depending on the computer you are using, the output resolution
signal may be different from the one you have set. For details,
refer to the operation manual of the computer.
