Important Safeguards Important Information Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This product has been engineered and manufactured to ensure your personal safety. But IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT IN POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD. In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated into this LCD Projector, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.
Usage Guidelines The laser pointer on the remote control emits a laser beam from the laser light window. This is a Class II laser which may impair your sight if directed into the eyes. The three marks shown on the right are caution labels for the laser beam. • Do not look into the laser light window or shine the laser beam on yourself or others. (The laser beam used in this product is harmless when directed onto the skin. However, be careful not to project the beam directly into the eyes.
Outstanding Features Important Information The SHARP LCD Projector enables easy projection of large screen, full-color computer and video images that can be projected directly onto a video screen or white wall. This lightweight, convergence-free system allows for easy installation.

Operating the Wireless Mouse Remote Control Important Information c. Moving the mouse cursor Press ∂/ƒ/ß/© on the remote control to move the mouse cursor on the screen. • The amount of pressure applied to the ∂/ƒ/ß/© buttons determines the speed the mouse cursor travels. If you lightly press the periphery of the ∂/ƒ/ß/© buttons, the mouse cursor moves slowly. If you press hard, the mouse cursor moves quickly. • The mouse sensitivity can also be adjusted from your computer’s operating system.
Setting Up the Projector (Standard Setup) Optimal image quality can be achieved when the projector is positioned perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level. • Position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly onto the screen washes out colors, making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when setting the screen in a sunny or bright room.
Basic Operations a a. Connecting the Power Cord Plug the supplied power cord into the AC socket on the back of the projector. b. Turning on the Main Power Operation b When the main power is on, the POWER indicator lights up red. Press the MAIN POWER switch on the back of the projector. The POWER indicator lights up red and the projector enters standby mode. • When the main power is not on, the remote control cannot be used to operate the projector. c.
Basic Operations g. Selecting the Video Input System Mode The video input system mode is set to “AUTO” at the factory; however, it can be changed to a different system mode, if the selected system mode is not compatible with the connected audiovisual equipment (such as when a color image appears in black and white, etc.).

Picture Adjustments This projector’s picture is factory preset to standard settings. However, you can adjust it to suit your own preferences by adjusting the four picture modes: “PICTURE”, “BRIGHT”, “RED” and “BLUE”. The adjustments can be stored in the “RGB1”, “RGB2” and “VIDEO” modes separately. (The following steps are used as an example in adjusting the picture in “RGB1 ADJ.” mode.) a. Displaying the “RGB1 ADJ.” screen On-screen Display a Press MENU to display the menu screen.
Computer Adjustments When displaying computer patterns which repeat every dot (tiling, vertical stripes, etc.), interference may occur between the LCD pixels, causing flickering, vertical stripes, or contrast irregularities in portions of the screen. Should this occur, adjust “CLOCK”, “PHASE”, “H-POS” and “V-POS” for optimum computer image. a. Displaying the “RGB1 INPUT ADJ.
Computer Adjustments • When connecting third party video cards and other Macintosh computers, set “MODE” to “ON” or “OFF” to select the correct display mode. • When the input signal is automatically detected or when there is no input signal, “MODE(---)” appears on the screen and the display mode cannot be changed. Initial Reset To return “CLOCK”, “PHASE”, “H-POS” and “V-POS” adjustments to their initial settings, select “RESET” and then press ENTER.
Audio Adjustments This projector’s audio is factory preset to standard settings. However, you can adjust it to suit your own preferences by adjusting “TREBLE” and “BASS”. a On-screen Display Press MENU to display the menu screen. Press ADJUSTMENT ∂/ƒ to select “AUDIO”.

Relationship between Projector Distance and Picture Size • The zoom lens enables adjustment of the picture size within the adjustment range. • For optimum picture adjustment, the projector should be placed at a distance from the screen according to the desired picture size (see the table below). • Optimal image quality can be achieved with the projector positioned perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level.
Reversed Image and Ceiling-mount Setups Using the Reverse/Invert Image Function makes the following setups possible. See page 22 for use of this function. Example of a reversed image setup • By placing a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens and using the horizontal image reverse function, the image reflected from the mirror can be projected onto the screen. • Rear projection with a rear projection screen is also possible when using the horizontal image reverse function.
Connecting a Computer You can connect your projector to a computer for easy projection of full color computer images. See page 26 for details on the connections. Connecting the projector to the computer Connect one end of the supplied computer cable into the COMPUTER INPUT (1 or 2) port on the projector and the other end into the RGB signal output port (Monitor Out) on the computer.
Connecting a Computer Connecting to the Computer Input Port You can connect your projector to a computer for easy projection of full-color computer images. a a.
Connecting Video Equipment You can connect your projector to a VCR, laser disk player or external audio components. CAUTION • Always turn off the projector while connecting to video equipment, in order to protect both the projector and the equipment being connected. • The S-VIDEO INPUT terminal uses a video signal system in which the picture is separated into a color and a luminance signal to realize a higher-quality image.
Air Filter Maintenance • This projector is equipped with two air filters to ensure the optimal operating condition of the projector. • The air filters should be cleaned every 100 hours of use. Clean the filters more often when the projector is used in a dusty or smoky location. • Have your nearest Authorized Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer or Service Center exchange the filter (PFILD0076CEZZ) when it is no longer possible to clean it.
Lamp/Maintenance Indicators Lamp The lamp in this projector operates for approximately 2,000 cumulative hours, depending on the usage environment. When the lamp has been used for 1,900 hours, the LAMP REPLACEMENT indicator will light red and “LAMP” will flash in yellow on the screen. It is recommended that the lamp be replaced after 1,900 cumulative hours of use or when you notice a significant deterioration of the picture and color quality.
