Introduction

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 a replacement.

See ???Replacing the Lamp??? on page 85.

Cautions concerning the setup of the projector

???For minimal servicing and to maintain high image qual- ity, 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 lens must be cleaned more often. As long as the projector is regularly cleaned, use in these environ- ments 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.

???Be sure that the intake vent and the exhaust vent are not obstructed.

???If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection cir- cuit will automatically turn off the projector. This does not indicate a malfunction. 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.

Cautions regarding the transportation of the pro- jector

???When transporting the projector, be sure not to subject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this can result in damage. Take extra caution with the lens. Before mov- ing the projector, be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables con- nected to it.

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 cur- tains and dim the lights when setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.

The projector may safely be tilted to a maximum angle of 12 degrees.

??? Placement should be within ??12 degrees.

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

???Take care with 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 make your eyes tired. Be sure to occasionally rest your eyes.

Avoid locations with high or low temperature.

???The operating temperature for the projector is from 41??F to 104??F (+5??C to +40??C).

???The storage temperature for 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 7.9 inches (20 cm) of space between the exhaust vent and the nearest wall or obstruction.

Other connected equipment

???When connecting a computer or other audio-visual equipment to the projector, make the connections AF-

TER turning off the projector and 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 over- seas, be sure to use the appropriate power cord for the country you are in.

Temperature monitor function

??? If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems or block- age of the air vents, ??? ??? and ??? ??? will blink in the lower left

corner of the picture. If the temperature continues to rise, the lamp will turn off, the temperature warning in- dicator on the projector will blink, and after a 90-sec- ond cooling-off period the power will shut off. Refer to

???Maintenance Indicators??? on page 83 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.

???Do not unplug the power cord during projection or cool- ing fan operation. This can create damage due to the rise in internal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.

Glossary

Advanced intelligent compression

High quality resizing of lower and higher resolu- tion images to fit the projector???s native resolution.

Anti-theft

If the ???Keycode??? set in the projector is not cor- rectly entered, the projector will not operate even if signals are entered.

Aspect Ratio

Width and height ratio of an image. The normal aspect ratio of a computer and video image is 4:3. There are also wide images with an aspect ratio of 16:9 and 21:9.

Auto Sync

Optimizes projected computer images by auto- matically adjusting certain characteristics.

Background

Initial setting image projected when no signal is being output.

Border

Projects a 4:3 image fully within a 16:9 screen by keeping the aspect ratio at 4:3.

Clock

Clock adjustment is used to adjust vertical noise when clock level is incorrect.

CLR Temp (Color temperature)

Function that can be used to adjust the color tem- perature to suit the type of image input to the pro- jector. Decrease the color temperature to create warmer, reddish images for natural flesh tones, or increase to create cooler, bluish images for a brighter picture.

C.M.S. (Color Management System)

Function allows you individually adjust the display characteristics of six colors (R: Red, Y: Yellow, G: Green, C: Cyan, B: Blue, M: Magenta)

Digital Shift Setting

Shifts image up or down easily by ', " buttons when RESIZE mode of input image is BORDER, STRETCH or SMART STRETCH of the video or the DTV signals.

Dot by dot

Mode that projects images in their native resolution.

Gamma

Image quality enhancement function that offers a richer image by brightening the darker portions of the image without altering the brightness of the brighter portions. You can select four different modes: STANDARD, PRESENTATION, CINEMA and CUSTOM.

Keylock Level

Mode that can lock the operation of projector but- tons to prevent mischief.

Keystone correction

Function to digitally correct a distorted image when the projector is set up at an angle, smooth- ens out jaggies on keystone images and com- presses the image not only horizontally but verti- cally keeping the 4:3 aspect ratio.

Notevision Lock Down

A new ceiling mounting mechanism that is ef- fective in anti-theft and realizing improved in- stallation strength.

Password

A password is set so that changes cannot be made in the settings of the ???Options (2)??? menu.

Phase

Phase shift is a timing shift between isomorphic signals with the same resolution. When phase level is incorrect, the projected image typically displays horizontal flicker.

Picture in Picture

Allows you to add video images onto a data screen image, providing you with even more effective pre- sentations.

Progressive Mode

The progressive display projects a smoother video image. You can select three different modes: 2D Progressive, 3D Progressive and Film Mode.

Resize

Allows you to modify or customize the picture dis- play mode to enhance the input image. You can select six different modes: NORMAL, FULL, DOT BY DOT, BORDER, STRETCH and SMART

STRETCH.

Smart Stretch

Projects the image fully in a 16:9 screen by en- larging only the surrounding areas while keeping the aspect ratio in the middle part of the image at 4:3.

sRGB

An international standard of color reproduction regulated by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). As the fixed color area has been decided by the IEC, the color changes according to LCD features, so that the images are displayed in a natural tint based on an original image, when switching to the ???sRGB??? mode.

Stretch

Mode that stretches the 4:3 image horizontally to display it fully on a 16:9 screen.
