SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 5A fuse. Should
the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked
above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.
or
and of the same rating as
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 5A 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.

I If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection cir-
cuit will automatically put the projector into the standby
mode. 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.

BQC-PGA20X//1
Caution concerning the setup of the projector
I 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.
Caution regarding transportation of the projec-
tor
I When transporting the projector, be sure not to subject
it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this can result in
damage. 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 con-
nected to it.

I 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 be safely tilted to a maximum
angle of 12 degrees.
I Placement should be within 12 degrees of horizontal.
Using the projector in other countries

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 the standby mode. Refer
to “Maintenance Indicators” on page 55 for details.
Rest your eyes occasionally.
I Continuously watching the screen for long hours will
cause eye strain. Be sure to occasionally rest your eyes.
Avoid locations with extremes of temperature.
I The operating temperature of the projector is from 41°F
to 95°F (+5°C to +35°C).
I The storage temperature of the projector is from
–4°F to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C).
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 cause damage due to rise
in internal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops.
Do not block the exhaust and intake vents.

I Allow at least 7 /8 inches (20 cm) of space between
the exhaust vent and the nearest wall or obstruction.

The height of the projector can be adjusted us-
ing the adjustment feet at the front and rear of
the projector when the surface the projector is
placed on is uneven or when the screen is
slanted.
Foot release
(on the other side of
the projector as well)
The projection of the image can be made higher
by adjusting the projector when it is in a lower
place than the screen.
Front adjustment feet
1 While pressing the foot releases
on both sides, lift the projector
to adjust its height and then re-
move your fingers from the foot
releases.
2 Rotate the adjustment feet at the
front of the projector for fine
adjustment.
• You can adjust the projection by using
the rear adjustment foot on the bottom
of the projector when the projector is po-
sitioned at the higher place than the
screen.
Note
• The Keystone Correction will be automatically
performed when the projector is tilted. If you
want to adjust the Keystone Correction
manually, see page 29. (For details on set-
ting of the Keystone Correction, see page 44.)
• When returning the projector to its original
position, hold the projector firmly, press the
foot releases and then gently lower it.
• The projector is adjustable up to approxi-
mately 12 degrees at the front and 3 degrees
at the back from the standard position.

• Do not press the foot releases when the ad-
justment feet are extended without firmly
holding the projector.
• Do not hold the lens when lifting or lower-
ing the projector.

Setting up the Screen
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image.
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 an 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)
I Place the projector at the required distance from
the screen according to the desired picture size.
(See page 24.)
Example of standard setup
Side View
• The distance from the screen to the projector
may vary depending on the size of the screen.
P.24

• The default setting can be used, when placing the
projector in front of the screen. If the projected im-
age is reversed or inverted, readjust the setting to
Audience
“Front” in the “PRJ Mode” menu.

Top View
• Place the projector so that an imaginary horizontal
line that passes through the center of the lens is
perpendicular to the screen.

or Service Center, please call toll-free: 1-888-GO-SHARP (1-888-467-4277).

Caution Concerning the Lamp
I This projector utilizes a pressurized mercury lamp. A loud sound may indicate lamp failure. Lamp
failure can be attributed to numerous sources such as: excessive shock, improper cooling, surface
scratches or deterioration of the lamp due to a lapse of usage time. The period of time up to failure
largely varies depending on the individual lamp and/or the condition and the frequency of use. It is
important to note that failure can often result in the bulb cracking.
I When the lamp replacement indicator and on-screen display icon are illuminated, it is recommended
that the lamp be replaced with a new one immediately, even if the lamp appears to be operating
normally.
I Should the lamp break, the glass particles may spread inside the lamp cage or gas contained in the
lamp may be vented into the room from the exhaust vent. Because the gas in this lamp includes
mercury, ventilate the room well if the lamp breaks and avoid all exposure to the released gas. In
case of exposure to the gas, consult a doctor as soon as possible.
I Should the lamp break, there is also a possibility that glass particles may spread inside of the
projector. In such a case, it is recommended you contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector
Dealer or Service Center to remove the damaged lamp and assure safe operation.
Replacing the Lamp
Caution
• Do not remove the lamp unit immediately after operation of the projector. The lamp will be hot and touching
it can lead to burn or injury.
• Wait at least one hour after the power cord is disconnected to allow the surface of the lamp unit to fully cool
before removing the lamp unit.
I If the new lamp does not light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Autho-
rized Projector Dealer or Service Center for repair. Purchase a replacement lamp unit of type BQC-
PGA20X//1 from your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center. Then carefully
change the lamp by following the instructions described in this section. If you wish, you may have
the lamp replaced at your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center.

Anti-Theft
Phase
Phase shift is a timing shift between isomorphic
If the “Keycode” set in the projector is not correctly
entered, the projector will not operate even if sig-
nals are entered.
signals with the same resolution. When phase level
is incorrect, the projected image typically displays
horizontal flicker.
Aspect Ratio
Resize
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.
Allows you to modify or customize the picture dis-
play mode to enhance the input image. You can
select four different modes: NORMAL, DOT BY
DOT, BORDER and STRETCH.
Auto Sync
sRGB
Optimizes projected computer images by auto-
matically adjusting certain characteristics.
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 “sRGB” is set to “ON”.
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.
Stretch
Clock
Mode that stretches the 4:3 image horizontally to
display it fully on a 16:9 screen.
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.
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 GAME.
Intelligent compression
High quality resizing of lower and higher resolu-
tion images to fit the projector’s native resolution.
Keylock
Mode that can lock the operation of projector but-
tons to prevent unauthorized adjustment.
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.
Password
Apassword is set so that changes cannot be made
in the “Anti-Theft” setting.
