Usage Guidelines
Caution Concerning the Lamp Unit
Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp ruptures. Please have Sharp Authorized
Projector Dealer or Service Center replace lamp if rupture occurs.
See “Replacing the Projection Lamp” on pages 47 and 48.
CAUTION
PRECAUCIÓN
PRÉCAUTION
BQC-PGM15X//1
Cautions Concerning the Setup of the Projector
95˚F
(
ם 35˚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 must be
cleaned more often. Periodically 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 a Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service
Center.
41˚F
(
ם 5˚C) • Do not expose the projector to extreme heat or cold.
Operating temperature: 41°F to 95°F (
ם 5°C to ם 35°C) Storage temperature: 14°F to 140°F (
מ 10°C to ם 60°C) Notes on Operation
• The mark shown on the left calls the user’s attention to locations on the projector
that emit intense heat during 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
reconnect the power cord and restart the projector. This will return the projector
to normal operating condition.
Temperature Monitor Function
If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems, “TEMP.” will appear 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 Indicators” on page 46, 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,
“LAMP” will appear in the lower-left corner of the picture to advise you to replace
the lamp. See pages 47 and 48 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 Indicators” on page 46,
for details.

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.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)
Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size. (See the table

Setting up the Screen
Using the Adjustment Feet
You can adjust the height of the image by raising the projector with the
foot release.
1 Lift the projector and press HEIGHT ADJUST.
(The adjuster comes out.)
2 While pressing HEIGHT ADJUST, lower the projector to adjust
the height. (Adjustable up to approximately 8° from the standard
position)
3 Remove your finger from HEIGHT ADJUST at the desired angle.
4 Rotate the rear adjuster to adjust the projector exactly.
(Adjustable up to approximately 1° from the left rear foot)
Returning the projector to its original position
While holding the projector, press HEIGHT ADJUST 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 HEIGHT ADJUST 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 between the table 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 projector’s menu system to reverse the
projected image. (See page 44 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 Sharp
Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center to obtain the
recommended ceiling-mount bracket (sold separately). (AN-
PGCM85 ceiling-mount bracket and its AN-EP101A extension tube
(for U.S.A.), or AN-M15T ceiling-mount bracket and its AN-TK201/
AN-TK202 extension tubes (for countries other than the U.S.A.))
• When the projector is in the inverted position, use the upper edge
of the screen as the base line.
• Use the projector’s menu system to select the appropriate projection
mode. (See page 44 for use of this function.)

Gamma Correction
Remote control
• Gamma is an 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.
• Three gamma settings are available to allow for
differences in the images displayed and in the
brightness of the room.
• When you are displaying images with frequent, dark
scenes, such as a film or concert, or when you are
displaying images in a bright room, this feature makes
the dark scenes easier to see and gives the impres-
sion of greater depth in the image.

This SHARP projector uses a DMD panel. This very sophisticated
panel contains 786,432 (PG-M15X)/480,000 (PG-M15S) pixels. 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 pixels within acceptable tolerances which
may result in inactive dots on the picture screen. This will not affect
the picture quality or the life expectancy of the unit.
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
