Observe the following safeguards when setting up your  
projector.  
Caution concerning the lamp unit  
■ Potential hazard of glass par-  
ticles if lamp ruptures.In case  
of lamp rupture, contact your  
nearest Sharp Authorized  
Projector Dealer or Service  
Center for replacement.  
When using the projector in high-altitude  
areas such as mountains (at altitudes of  
approximately 1,500 meters (4,900 feet)  
or more)  
■ When you use the projector in high-altitude  
areas with thin air, set “Fan Mode” to “High”.  
Neglecting this can affect the longevity of the  
optical system.  
See “Regarding the Lamp” on  
page 52.  
Warning about placing the projector in  
a high position  
■ When placing the projector in a high position,  
make certain it is carefully secure to avoid  
personal injury caused by the projector fall-  
ing down.  
Caution concerning the setup of the  
projector  
■ 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 vents and lens must be cleaned more of-  
ten. As long as the projector is regularly  
cleaned, use in these environments 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.  
Do not subject the projector to hard  
impact and/or vibration.  
■ Protect 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 cause eye strain. Take regular  
breaks to rest your eyes.  
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 curtains and dim  
the lights when setting up the screen in a  
sunny or bright room.  
Avoid locations with extremes of  
temperature.  
■ The operating temperature of the projector is  
from 41°F to 95°F (+5°C to +35°C).  
■ The storage temperature of the projector is  
from –4°F to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C).  
Do not block the exhaust and intake  
vents.  
Caution regarding placing of the projector  
■ Place the projector on a level site within the  
adjustment range (9 degrees) of the adjust-  
ment foot.  
■ Allow at least 11 13/16 inches (30 cm) of space  
between the exhaust vent and the nearest  
wall or obstruction.  
■ Ensure that the intake vent and the exhaust  
vent are not obstructed.  
■ If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a pro-  
tection circuit will automatically put the pro-  
jector into standby mode to prevent overheat  
damage. This does not indicate a malfunc-  
tion.(See pages 50 and 51.) Remove the pro-  
jector 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.  
■ After the projector is purchased, a faint smell  
from the vent may appear when the power is  
first turned on. This is normal and is not a  
malfunction. It will disappear after the projec-  
tor is used for a while.

Caution regarding usage of the projector Using the projector in other countries  
■ If you are not to use the projector for a long ■ The power supply voltage and the shape of  
time or before moving the projector, make  
certain you unplug the power cord from the  
wall outlet, and disconnect any other cables  
connected to it.  
the plug may vary depending on the region  
or country you are using the projector in.  
When using the projector overseas, make  
sure you use an appropriate power cord for  
the country you are in.  
■ If the power cord is unplugged while the  
cooling fan is running, some parts of the  
projector may still be hot. Use caution when  
handling the projector.  
Temperature monitor function  
■ Do not carry the projector by holding the lens.  
■ When storing the projector, ensure you at-  
tach the lens cap to the projector. (See page  
11.)  
■ Do not expose the projector to direct sunlight  
or place next to heat sources. Doing so may  
affect the cabinet color or cause deformation  
of the plastic cover.  
■
If the projector starts to overheat due to setup  
problems or blockage of the air vents, “ ” and  
” will illuminate in the lower left corner  
of the picture. If the temperature continues to  
rise, the lamp will turn off, the temperature warn-  
ing indicator on the projector will blink, and after  
a 60-second cooling-off period the projector will  
enter standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance In-  
dicators” on page 50 for details.  
“
Other connected equipment  
■ When connecting a computer or other audio-  
visual equipment to the projector, make the  
connections AFTER unplugging the power  
cord of the projector from the AC outlet and  
turning off the equipment to be connected.  
■ Please read the operation manuals of the pro-  
jector and the equipment to be connected for  
instructions on how to make the connections.  
Info  
•
The cooling fan regulates the internal tem-  
perature, 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.

Maintenance  
Cleaning the projector  
Cleaning the lens  
■ Ensure that you have unplugged the power  
cord before cleaning the projector.  
■ The cabinet as well as the operation panel is  
made of plastic. Avoid using benzene or  
thinner, as these can damage the finish on the  
cabinet.  
■ Use a commercially available blower or lens  
cleaning paper (for glasses and camera lenses)  
for cleaning the lens. Do not use any liquid type  
cleaning agents, as they may wear off the  
coating film on the surface of the lens.  
■ As the surface of the lens can easily get  
damaged, be careful not to scrape or hit the  
lens.  
■ Do not use volatile agents such as insecticides  
on the projector.  
Do not attach rubber or plastic items to the  
projector for long periods.  
The effects of some of the agents in the plastic  
may cause damage to the quality or finish of the  
projector.  
■ Wipe off dirt gently with a soft flannel cloth.  
■ When the dirt is hard to remove, soak a cloth in  
a mild detergent diluted with water, wring the  
cloth well and then wipe the projector.  
Strong cleaning detergents may discolor, warp  
or damage the coating on the projector. Make  
sure to test on a small, inconspicuous area on  
the projector before use.  
Cleaning the exhaust and intake vents  
■ Use a vacuum cleaner to clean dust from the  
exhaust vent and the intake vent.  
Mild detergent diluted  
with water  
Info  
• If you want to clean the air vents during projec-  
tor operation, ensure you press STANDBY/ON  
on the projector or STANDBY on the remote  
control and put the projector into standby  
mode. After the cooling fan has stopped, clean  
the vents.

Maintenance Indicators  
■ The warning lights (power indicator, lamp indicator and temperature warning indicator) on the  
projector indicate problems inside the projector.  
■ If a problem occurs, either the temperature warning indicator or the lamp indicator will illuminate  
red, and the projector will enter standby mode. After the projector has entered standby mode,  
follow the procedures given below.

About the temperature warning indicator  
If the temperature inside the projector increases, due to blockage of the air vents, or the setting location,  
“
” will illuminate in the lower left corner of the picture. If the temperature keeps on rising, the lamp  
will turn off and the temperature warning indicator will blink, the cooling fan will run, and then the projec-  
tor will enter standby mode. After “  
” appears, ensure you perform the measures described on  
page 51.  
About the lamp indicator  
■ When the remaining lamp life becomes 5% or less, (yellow) and “Change The Lamp” will be  
displayed on the screen. When the percentage becomes 0%, it will change to (red), the lamp will  
automatically turn off and then the projector will automatically enter standby mode. At this time, the  
lamp indicator will illuminate in red.  
■ If you try to turn on the projector a fourth time without replacing the lamp, the projector will  
not turn on.

(Cooling)  
Info  
• If the temperature warning indicator illuminates, and the projector enters standby mode, follow the  
possible solutions above and then wait until the projector has cooled down completely before plug-  
ging in the power cord and turning the power back on. (At least 10 minutes.)  
• If the power is turned off for a brief moment due to power outage or some other cause while using  
the projector, and the power supply recovers immediately after that, the lamp indicator will illumi-  
nate in red and the lamp may not be lit. In this case, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet,  
replace the power cord in the AC outlet and then turn the power on again.  
• The cooling fan keeps the internal temperature of the projector constant and this function is con-  
trolled automatically. The sound of the cooling fan may change during operation because the fan  
speed may change and this is not a malfunction.

Hg LAMP CONTAINS MERCURY For State Lamp Disposal  
Information  
U.S.A. ONLY  
www.lamprecycle.org or 1-800-BE-SHARP  
Caution Concerning the Lamp  
■ 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.  
■ 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.  
■ 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 assure safe operation.  
■ 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.  
Replacing the Lamp  
Caution  
• Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp will be very hot and may  
cause burns 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.  
■ 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.  
*
If the new lamp does not light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorized  
Projector Dealer or Service Center for repair.

Info  
• When controlling the projector using RS-232C commands from a computer, wait for at least 30  
seconds after the power has been turned on, and then transmit the commands.  
• After sending an input selection or picture adjustment command and then receiving an “OK” re-  
sponse code, the projector may take some time to process the command. If a second command is  
sent while the projector is still processing the first command, you may receive an “ERR” response  
code. If this happens, try resending the second command.  
• When more than one code is being sent, send each command only after the response code for the  
previous command from the projector is verified.  
• “POWR????” “TABN _ _ _ 1” “TLPS _ _ _ 1” “TPOW _ _ _ 1” “TLPN _ _ _ 1” “TLTT _ _ _ 1”  
“TLTM _ _ _ 1” “TLTL _ _ _ 1” “TNAM _ _ _ 1” “MNRD _ _ _ 1” “PJN0 _ _ _ 1”  
- When the projector receives the special commands shown above:  
* The on-screen display will not disappear.  
* The “Auto Power Off” timer will not be reset.  
- The special commands are available for applications that require continuous polling.  
Note  
• If an underbar (_) appears in the parameter column, enter a space.  
• If an asterisk (*) appears in the parameter column, enter a value in the range indicated in brackets  
under Control Contents.  
*1 For setting the projector name, send the commands in the order of PJN1, PJN2 and PJN3.  
*2 This command should be sent only after the “IRGB _ _ _ 2” command is sent and an “OK” response  
code is received.  
*3 The Lamp Timer Reset command is available only in standby mode.

Note  
• When this projector receives 640K350 VESA format VGA signals, “640 × 400” appears on the screen.  
• Optimum image quality will be achieved by matching your computer’s output resolution to the resolution  
that corresponds to “True” in the “Display” column shown above.  
• When “Screen resolution” of the computer is different from the resolution displayed on the projected image,  
follow the procedures shown below.  
–Refer to “Select the resolution” for “Data image is not centered” on the Help menu and select the same  
resolution as the resolution in “Screen resolution” of the computer.  
–Depending on the computer you are using, the output signal may not be faithful to the “Screen resolution”  
adjustment. Check the settings of the computer’s signal output. If the settings cannot be changed, it is  
recommended that the resolution be set to the one that corresponds to “True” in the “Display” column.
