How to set up the projector and screen

Cautions: When setting up 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 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 Autho-

rized Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer or Service Center.

• Do not expose to extreme heat or cold.

Operating temperature: 41°F to 104°F (+5°C to +40°C)

Storage temperature:

4°F to 140°F (

20°C to +60°C)

• Do not tilt the projector more than 5°.

■ 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 using the screen in a bright or sunny

room.

■ The best picture will be obtained when the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the screen. Position the projector

and screen as shown.

Example of a standard setup

SIDE VIEW

Lens center

If the projector and screen are not

centered properly, the picture will be

distorted, making viewing difficult.

The projector lens should be centered

in the middle of the screen.

■Using the horizontal reverse function makes the following setups possible.

Example of a reversed image setup

• By placing a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens and using the horizontal reverse function, the image

reflected from the mirror can be projected onto the screen.

• Rear projection with a rear projection screen is also possible when using the horizontal reverse function.

Adjusting the Height of the Picture

■ When adjustments for the projector position cannot be made using the Lens Shift alone, or when the projector

stand is on an angle, use the adjuster release to adjust the vertical angle of the projector. Minor adjustments can

be made with the adjusters.

Adjuster release

Adjusters

1. Press the adjuster release and lift the

projector to the desired angle with both

hands.

• The adjuster legs will extend to the surface of the table.

2. Remove your hand from the adjuster

release.

• The adjuster legs will lock in position. Release the

projector once you are sure the adjuster legs have

locked in position.

3. Make any minor adjustments necessary.

• Turn the adjusters to further adjust the angle of the

projector.

Returning the projector to its original position

• While holding the projector with both hands, press the

adjuster release and slowly lower the projector to its

original position.

Notes:

• Adjustable up to approximately 5° from the horizontal.

• When adjustments are made with the adjusters, the picture may

become distorted, depending on the relative positions of the projector

and the screen.

• After adjusting, in some cases, all of the adjuster legs may not be

resting on the table.

To prevent the projector from wobbling, adjust the adjuster legs so that

they firmly contact the table.

Cautions:

• Do not press the adjuster release when the adjuster legs are extended

without firmly holding the projector.

• When lowering the projector, be careful not to get your fingers caught

in the area between the adjusters and the projector.

• Do not hold the lens when lifting or lowering the projector.

Transporting the Projector

Use the carrying handle when carrying the projector.

When transporting the projector, carry it by the handle located on the side

of the unit.

Note:

Carrying handle

• Always put on the lens cap to prevent damage to the lens when trans-

porting the projector.

Caution:

• Do not lift or carry the projector by the lens or the lens cap as this may

damage the lens.

Lamp/Maintenance Indicators

Lamp

■ The Lamp has a finite operating life of 1,500 hours. The lamp life may differ, however, depending on the usage environment.

•

When the lamp is nearing the end of its operating life, the picture and color quality will deteriorate. When the projector is

turned on after the lamp has been in use for more than 1,400 hours, the LAMP REPLACEMENT indicator will light red and

“LAMP” will flash in yellow on the screen to alert you that it is time to replace the lamp. At this point, take your projector to the

nearest Authorized Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer or Service Center to have the lamp replaced.

Note:

The lamp usage time can be checked with the On-Screen display. (See page 28.)

Caution: Once you are alerted that the lamp requires replacement, take your projector to the nearest Authorized Sharp

Industrial LCD Products Dealer or Service Center to have the lamp replaced.

•

When the number of hours the lamp has been used reaches 1,500, the power automatically turns off and the projector enters

the standby condition. If you turn on the power after the lamp has been used for 1,500 hours, “LAMP” will flash on screen in

red letters for five minutes and then the power will turn off.

Intense light hazard. Do not attempt to look into the aperture and lens while the projector is operating.

Maintenance Indicators

■ The warning lights on the projector indicate problems inside the projector.

■ There are two warning lights–a TEMPERATURE indicator which warns that

the projector is too hot, and a LAMP REPLACEMENT indicator which lets

you know when to change the lamp.

■ If a problem occurs, either the TEMPERATURE indicator or the LAMP

REPLACEMENT indicator will light up red, and the power will shut off. After

LAMP REPLACE-

MENT indicator

• Lamp circuit failure.

• The lamp has been used

for over 1,400 hours.

The lamp requires

replacement.

Notes:

• If the TEMPERATURE indicator comes on, follow the above possible solutions and then wait until the projector has cooled down completely

before turning the power back on. (At least 5 minutes.)

•

When the power is turned off and then turned on again, as during a brief rest, the LAMP replacement indicator may be triggered, preventing the

power from going on. When this happens, take the power plug out of the AC outlet and put it back in again.

Before Calling for Service

Check

Problem

• The projector AC cord is not plugged into the AC wall outlet.

• The main power switch is not pressed.

No picture and no sound.

• The input is wrong. (See pages 24 and 25.)

• Cables improperly connected to side panel of the projector. (See pages 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19.)

• Remote control batteries have run down. (See page 7.)

• The optional cable for the remote control is improperly inserted.

• The main power of the remote control is not turned on.

• The remote control’s MOUSE/ADJUSTMENT switch is set to MOUSE.

• The lamp has reached the end of its operating life. (See page 32.)

• Cables improperly connected to side panel of the projector. (See pages 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19.)

• The BRIGHTNESS and PICTURE adjustments are set to minimum position. (See page 26.)

• On-Screen Display (“BLACK SCREEN”) is turned off and Black Screen function is turned on, creating

a black image. (See page 29.)

Sound is heard but no picture

appears.

• The COLOR and TINT adjustments are not correct. (See page 26.)

Color is faded or poor.

Picture is blurred.

• Adjust the focus. (See page 9.)

• The projection distance is too long or too short to allow for proper focus. (See page 10.)

• Cables improperly connected to side panel of the projector. (See pages 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19.)

• Volume is set to minimum. (See page 25.)

Picture appears but no sound is

heard.

• If the picture is normal, the sound is due to cabinet shrinkage caused by temperature changes. This

will not affect operation or performance.

An unusual sound is occasion-

ally heard from the cabinet.

• Refer to “Lamp/Maintenance Indicators” on page 32.

3. Basic format

Commands from the computer are sent in the following order: command, parameter, and return code. After the

unit processes the command from the computer, it sends a response code to the computer.

Command format

C1 C2 C3 C4 P1 P2 P3 P4

Command 4-digits Parameter 4-digits

Response code format

When more than one code is being sent, send each command only after the OK response code for the previous

command from the unit is verified.

Note:

• Using the computer control function of the unit, the liquid crystal projector conditions cannot be read to the computer.

Therefore, confirm the conditions by transmitting the display commands for each adjustment menu and checking the

conditions with the On-Screen Display. If the unit receives a command other than a menu display command, it will execute

the command without displaying the On-Screen Display.
