Ensure that you read the following safeguards when  
setting up your projector.  
Caution concerning the lamp unit  
■ Potential hazard of glass  
particles if lamp ruptures.  
Warning about placing the projector in a  
high position  
■ When placing the projector in a high posi-  
tion, ensure to secure it carefully to avoid per-  
sonal injury caused by the projector falling  
down.  
In case of lamp rupture,  
contact your nearest  
Sharp Authorized Projec-  
tor Dealer or Service  
CAUTION  
PRECAUCION  
PRECAUTION  
AN-MB70LP  
Center for a replacement.  
See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 66.  
Do not subject the projector to hard im-  
pact and/or vibration.  
■ Take care with the lens so as not to hit or  
damage the surface of the lens.  
Caution concerning the setup of the pro-  
jector  
■ For minimal servicing and to maintain high  
image quality, SHARP recommends that this  
projector be installed in an area free from hu-  
midity, dust and cigarette smoke. When the  
projector is subjected to these environments,  
the vents and lens must be cleaned more  
often. 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.  
Rest your eyes occasionally.  
■ Continuously watching the screen for long  
hours will cause eye strain. Ensure to occa-  
sionally rest your eyes.  
Avoid locations with extremes of tem-  
perature.  
■ The operating temperature of the projector  
is from 41°F to 104°F (+5°C to +40°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.  
Do not set up the projector in places ex-  
posed 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.  
■ Allow at least 7 7/8 inches (20 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 64 and 65.).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.  
The projector may be safely tilted to a  
maximum angle of 12 degrees.  
■ Placement should be within 12 degrees of  
horizontal.  
Do not use the projector upside down.  
■ This can cause personal injury due to rise in  
internal temperature.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
Caution regarding usage of the projector  
■ When using the projector, ensure not to sub-  
ject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this  
can result in damage. Take extra care with the  
lens. If you are not to use the projector for a  
long time, be sure to unplug the power cord  
from the wall outlet, and disconnect any other  
cables connected to it.  
Info  
• The cooling fan regulates the internal tem-  
perature, and its performance is automati-  
cally 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 use the projector by holding the lens.  
■ When storing the projector, ensure to attach  
the lens cap to the projector. (See page 11.)  
■ Do not expose the storage case or projector  
to direct sunlight or near heat sources. The  
storage case or projector may change color  
or become deformed.  
• Do not unplug the power cord during pro-  
jection or cooling fan operation. This can  
cause damage due to rise in internal tem-  
perature, as the cooling fan also stops.  
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.  
Using the projector in other countries  
■ The power supply voltage and the shape of  
the plug may vary depending on the region  
or country you are using the projector in.  
When using the projector overseas, ensure  
to use an appropriate power cord for the coun-  
try you are in.  
Temperature monitor function  
■
If the projector starts to over-  
heat due to setup problems  
or blockage of the air vents,  
“
” and “  
” will illumi-  
nate 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 blink, and after a 90-second cool-  
ing-off period the projector will enter the standby  
mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on  
page 64 for details.

Setting up the Projector  
Setting up the Projector  
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with the projector’s 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 projector in a sunny or bright room.  
Standard Setup (Front Projection)  
■ Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size. (For  
details, refer to page 2 of the “SETUP GUIDE” contained on the supplied CD-ROM.)

Hg LAMP CONTAINS MERCURY For State Lamp Disposal Information  
www.lamprecycle.org or 1-800-BE-SHARP  
U.S.A. ONLY  
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, 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.  
■ 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.  
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 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.  
■ 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 illuminate after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorized  
Projector Dealer or Service Center for repair.

Glossary  
Aspect Ratio  
Picture Mode  
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.  
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.  
Auto Sync  
Optimizes projected computer images by auto-  
matically adjusting certain characteristics.  
Resize  
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.  
Background  
Initial setting image projected when no signal is  
being output.  
Border  
sRGB  
Projects a 4:3 image fully within a 16:9 screen by  
keeping the aspect ratio at 4:3.  
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 DLP features, so that the images are displayed  
in a natural tint based on an original image, when  
“sRGB” is set to “ON”.  
Clock  
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.  
Stretch  
Mode that stretches the 4:3 image horizontally to  
display it fully on a 16:9 screen.  
System Lock  
If the “Keycode” set in the projector is not cor-  
rectly entered, the projector will not operate even  
if signals are entered.  
Dot by dot  
Mode that projects images in their native resolution.  
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.  
Phase  
Phase shift is a timing shift between isomorphic  
signals with the same resolution.When phase level  
is incorrect, the projected image typically displays  
horizontal flicker.
