The laser pointer on the remote control emits a laser beam from the laser  
pointer window. This is a Class II laser which may impair your sight if directed  
into the eyes. The three marks shown on the left are caution labels for the  
laser beam.  
Do not look into the laser pointer 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.)

Cautions Concerning the Setup of the Projector  
104˚F  
(
ם
40˚C)  
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 lens and  
filter must be cleaned more often. Periodically the filter should be replaced  
and the projector should be cleaned internally. As long as the projector is  
properly maintained in this manner, use in these environments will not reduce  
the overall operation life. Please note that all internal cleaning must be  
performed by an Authorized Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer or Service  
Center.  
41˚F  
(
ם
5˚C)  
Notes on Operation  
The exhaust vent, the lamp cage cover and adjacent areas may be  
extremely hot during projector operation. To prevent injury, do not touch  
these areas until they have sufficiently cooled.  
Allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between the cooling fan (exhaust  
vent) and the nearest wall or obstruction.  
If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection device will automatically  
turn off the projector lamp. This does not indicate a malfunction. Remove  
the projector power cord from the wall outlet and wait at least 10 minutes.  
Then turn on the power by plugging the power cord back in. This will return  
the projector to the normal operating condition.  
Temperature Monitor Function  
If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems or a dirty air filter,  
TEMP.and “ ” will flash 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 flash, and after a 90-second cooling-  
off period the power will shut off. Refer to Lamp/Maintenance Indicatorson  
page 47, for details.  
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.  
Lamp Monitor Function  
When the projector is turned on after the lamp has been used for 1,400 hours,  
LAMPand “ ” will flash in the lower-left corner of the picture to advise you  
to replace the lamp. See pages 48 and 49 for lamp replacement. If the lamp  
has been used for 1,500 hours, the projector power will automatically turn off  
and the projector will enter standby mode. Refer to Lamp/Maintenance  
Indicatorson page 47, for details.

Connecting the Projector to Video Equipment  
You can connect your projector to a VCR, laser disc player, DVD player, DTV decoder and other audiovisual  
equipment.  
CAUTION  
Always turn off the projector while connecting to video equipment, in order to protect both the projector and the equipment  
being connected.  
To a video source (VCR, laser disc player, DTV decoder or DVD player) using the standard video input  
1 Connect the yellow RCA connectors to the corresponding  
yellow VIDEO INPUT 3 terminal on the projector and the Video  
output terminal on the video source.  
2 To use the built-in audio system, connect the red and white  
RCA connectors to the corresponding red and white AUDIO  
INPUT 3 terminals on the projector and the Audio output  
terminals on the video source.  
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.  
When cables are connected to both the S-VIDEO INPUT and  
VIDEO INPUT 3 terminals, images input through the S-VIDEO  
INPUT terminal have priority over images input through the VIDEO  
INPUT 3 terminal.  
For higher quality video, you may use the S-VIDEO INPUT  
terminal on the projector. S-video cable is sold separately.  
If your video equipment does not have an S-video output  
terminal, use the Composite video output terminal.

Setting up the Screen  
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image.  
Move the projector forward or backward if the edges of the image are distorted.  
The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be  
distorted, making viewing difficult.  
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 up the screen in a sunny or bright room.  
A polarizing screen cannot be used with this projector.

3
1 Press the foot release and lift the projector to the  
desired angle. (Adjustable up to approximately  
5° from the standard position.)  
2 Remove your hand from the foot release. Once  
the adjustment foot has locked in position, release  
the projector.  
Foot release  
3 If the screen is at an angle, the adjuster can be  
used to adjust the angle of the image. (Adjustable  
up to approximately 1° from the original position.)  
Returning the projector to its original position  
While holding the projector, press the foot release and slowly lower the projector to its original position.  
When an adjustment is made, the image may become distorted (keystoned), depending on the relative positions of the projector and the  
screen.  
CAUTION  
Do not press the foot release when the adjustment foot is extended without firmly holding the projector.  
Do not hold the lens when lifting or lowering the projector.  
When lowering the projector, be careful not to get your fingers caught in the area between the adjustment foot and the  
projector.  
Reversed Image Setup  
Rear projection  
Projection using a mirror  
Place a translucent screen between the projector and  
the audience.  
When the distance between the projector and screen  
is not sufficient for normal rear projection, you can  
use a mirror to reflect the image onto the screen.  
Place a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens.  
Project the normal image onto the mirror.  
The image reflected from the mirror is projected onto  
the translucent screen.  
Use the projectors menu system to reverse the  
projected image. (See page 42 for use of this  
function.)  
Optimal image quality can be achieved when the projector is positioned perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level.  
CAUTION  
When using a mirror, be sure to carefully position both the projector and the mirror so the light does not shine into the eyes of  
the audience.  
Ceiling-mount Setup  
It is recommended that you use the optional Sharp ceiling-  
mount bracket for this installation.  
Before mounting the projector, contact your nearest Authorized  
Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer or Service Center to  
obtain the recommended ceiling-mount bracket (sold  
separately). (AN-XGCM51 ceiling-mount bracket, AN-  
EP101AP extension tube for AN-XGCM51.)  
When the projector is in the inverted position, use the upper  
edge of the screen as the base line.  
Use the projectors menu system to select the appropriate  
projection mode. (See page 42 for use of this function.)

This SHARP projector uses LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panels. These  
very sophisticated panels contain 786,432 pixels (
ן
 RGB) TFTs (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 TFTs within acceptable tolerances which  
may result in illuminated or inactive dots on the picture screen. This  
will not affect the picture quality or the life expectancy of the unit.  
If you have any questions about this matter, please call toll free 1-888-  
GO-SHARP (1-888-467-4277). U.S.A. ONLY  
Specifications are subject to change without notice.

Electronic presentations are one of the most effective  
tools presenters can use to persuade an audience.  
There are several ways to enhance your presentation  
and maximize your effectiveness. The following are  
guidelines to help you create and deliver a dynamic  
presentation.  
a.Types of Presentations  
Computer Presentations  
To present basic information such as graphs, spreadsheets,  
documents and images, use word processing and spreadsheet  
applications.

To convey more complex information and create more dynamic  
presentations which allow you to control the pace of your delivery,  
utilize software such as Astound®, Freelance®, Persuasion® or  
PowerPoint®.  
For high-end multimedia and interactive presentations, use software  
0
such as Macromedia Director®.

Video Presentations  
Use of video equipment, such as a VCR, DVD player and laser disc  
player, can be effective for delivering instructional or illustrative  
information that is difficult to present.  
Digital Cameras and Personal Digital Assistants  
(PDAs)  
For highly compact and portable presentations, digital still cameras,  
digital video cameras, document cameras and PDAs are ideal for  
transferring data without cumbersome conversions.  
Multimedia Presentations  
You can integrate all of the above methods for a full multimedia  
presentation including video, audio, computer applications and World  
Wide Web information.  
b. Creative Presentations  
Oftentimes presenters do not take advantage of the many  
subtle ways they can manipulate their electronic slides to more  
effectively persuade the audience.  
Color has a great effect on the audience during a presentation.  
When used correctly and legibly, studies show that  
background and foreground colors establish an emotional  
tone for a presentation, help viewers understand and retain  
information, and influence an audience to take a desired  
course of action.  
Color Considerations  
Choose legible colors.  
Text and graphics colors need sufficient contrast.  
Use darker colors for the background since a lighter background  
can create uncomfortable glare. (Yellow on black creates an ideal  
contrast.)

Background colors can subconsciously affect the audience:  
Redincreases viewerspulse and breathing and  
encourages risk taking but can also be associated with  
financial loss.  
Red  
Blue  
Bluehas a calming and conservative affect on the  
audience but can also create boredom among corporate  
audiences that are often inundated with this background  
color.  
Greenstimulates interaction.  
Green  
Black  
Blackconveys finality and certainty. Use it as a transitional  
color between slides when moving from one idea to another.  
Foreground colors create a major impact on how well an  
audience understands and remembers a message.  
Use one or two bright colors for emphasis.  
Highlight important messages.  
The eye has a difficult time reading certain colored text on  
certain colored backgrounds. For example, text and  
background colors in red and green, and blue and black  
make for difficult viewing.  
Colorblind individuals may find it difficult to distinguish  
between red and green, brown and green, and purple and  
blue. Avoid using these colors together.

One of the most common mistakes in any type of  
presentation visual is the selection of type fonts that are too  
small, too thin, or too difficult to read.  
all, to  
o
to  
at  
a
th  
If you are not sure how well a given font will read on a screen  
at various sizes, try this: Draw a 6Љ 
ן
 8Љ box on a piece of  
paper and print out several lines of text inside the box with  
your computer printer at 300 or 600 dpi resolution. Vary the  
sizes of text to simulate headline, body and text call-outs  
for any charts or graphs. Hold the printout at arms length.  
This is how your text will look on a 4Ј (1.2 meter)-wide screen  
at 10Ј (3 meters), on a 7.5Ј (2.3 meter)-wide screen at 20Ј  
(6.1 meters) and a 12Ј (3.7 meter)-wide screen at 30Ј (9.1  
meters). If you cannot read the text easily, you should put  
less copy on your visuals or use larger typefaces.  
Design your visuals so that they are visible by the viewer in  
the last row.  
Nothing will ruin your presentation faster than misspelled  
words. Take the time to proofread and edit your work before  
your visuals become a permanent part of your presentation.  
Mixed case text is easier to read than text which is displayed  
in capital letters.  
Another important attribute of fonts is whether any particular  
face is serif or sans-serif. Serifs are small, usually horizontal  
cross strokes that are added to the end of a letters main  
strokes. Because of their ability to coax the eye along the  
line of type, fonts with serifs are generally acknowledged to  
be more readable.

c. Set-Up

When giving a presentation, you need to set the stage both  
figuratively and literally for success. The way you set up a  
presentation room will have a great impact on the audiences  
perception of you and your message. By manipulating the  
placement and use of the following tools, you will improve the  
impact of your presentation.  
Presentation from SHARP  
LightingGood lighting is an important component of a  
successful presentation. You should strive to create an unequal  
distribution of light. An audience should always see as much  
of the presenters face as possible, so most of the light should  
be focused on you. Because it is important for you to be able  
to read the audiences faces and body language, some light  
should be shed upon them. However, no light should shine  
on the screen.

StageWhen presenting on the same level surface that your  
audience is on, most people can only see the top one-third of  
your body. Therefore, it is recommended that when giving a  
presentation to an audience of 25 or more, you stand on a  
stage or platform. As more of your body is visible, the easier  
it is to communicate with an audience.  
PodiumsThe best presenters avoid podiums because they  
hide 75% of the body and restrict movement. However, many  
people feel more comfortable with a podium to hold their notes  
and hide their discomfort. If you must use a podium, angle it  
at 45 degrees to the audience so that you are not completely  
hidden.  
VisualsIt is imperative that you make sure your visuals are  
large enough and projected far enough for the audience to  
see. Eight times the height of an image is the optimal viewing  
distance to read 24 point type. The bottom of a screen should  
be at least 6Ј (1.8 meters) above the floor.  
ScreenThe screen should always be in the center of the  
room so that all audience members can see it. Because people  
read from left to right, you should always stand to the  
audiences left when discussing visuals.  
SeatingArrange seating according to the dynamics of your  
presentation. If the presentation is more than half-a-day, use  
classroom style seatinga chair and a desk. If you would  
like to encourage audience interaction, use chevron seating,  
angling the chairs into a Vshape. When you have a very  
small audience, a Ushaped arrangement will increase  
interchange.

d. Rehearsing & Delivery  
The best time to rehearse is the day or evening before,  
not a couple of hours before, and the best place to  
rehearse is in the actual room. Rehearsing a speech  
in a small office is not the same as standing up in  
front of 100 people in a hotel ballroom or classroom.  
Due to varying processor speeds of computers,  
practice your slide transitions for proper timing.  
Whenever possible, set up your equipment well in  
advance to allow adequate time to resolve any  
unexpected issues such as lighting, power, seating  
and audio.  
Thoroughly check every piece of equipment you bring  
along. Make sure you have fresh batteries in your  
remote controls and laptop computer. Fully charge  
your computers battery before the presentation and  
connect your AC adaptor for added safety.  
Make sure you are completely familiar with the control  
panel on your projector and remote controls.  
If you are using a microphone, check it out before  
hand and walk around to see where you might have  
problems with feedback. Avoid standing in these  
problem areas during your presentation.  
e. Presentation Tips  
Before beginning, visualize yourself delivering an  
outstanding presentation.  
Know your speech, memorizing at least the first three  
minutes of your presentation will allow you to focus  
on your rhythm and pacing.  
Speak to early arrivals to help you build a rapport  
with the audience and make you feel more  
comfortable.  
Do not be overly dependent on your visuals by reciting  
what your audience is already reading. Know your  
material well enough to be able to deliver the  
presentation with ease. Use your visuals to emphasize  
keypoints.  
Be sure to project your voice clearly and use eye  
contact to maintain audience attention.  
Do not wait until halfway through your presentation to  
get your point across. If you wait and try to create a  
build-up, you may lose some of your audience along  
the way.  
Keep your audiences attention. As most people only  
focus for 15 to 20 minutes during a one-hour  
presentation, it is important to recapture their attention  
periodically. Use phrases like, This is critical to my  
pointor This is absolutely fundamentalto remind  
them you are saying something they need to hear.
