HDMI is a new specialized interface capable of delivering a video and audio signal to
the terminal using just one cable. Since this projector does not support an audio signal
by itself, use an amplifier or other audio device.
For video connection, use a cable that conforms to HDMI standards. Using cables that
do not conform to HDMI standards may result in a malfunction.

• Because it is compatible with the HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) system, the
digital video signal does not degrade when transmitted, and a high-quality image with a simple
connection can be enjoyed.
• When a DVI to HDMI conversion cable is connected to the HDMI terminal, a proper picture may not
be displayable.

(P/R/O/Q)
When the image is projected either from
the top or from the bottom towards the
screen at an angle, the image becomes
distorted trapezoidally.The function for
correcting trapezoidal distortion is
called Keystone Correction.
RETURN button
ENTER button
There are the two types of the Keystone
Correction.
1) The “GEOMETRIC ADJUSTMENT”
method corrects trapezoidal distor-
tion by specifying 4 marks on the
screen.
2) The“H &V KEYSTONE”method fea-
tures corrections to 2 axes (horizon-
tal and vertical) based on numerical
values.

Selecting the Type of
Correction
Note
• When corrections are made with Keystone cor-
rection, the changes are saved even if the
power cord is unplugged.
• Since Keystone correction digitally corrects
the signal, resolution may slightly decrease
when it is used. Moiré patterns and line dis-
tortions may also be visible in detailed images.
However, this is not a malfunction.
Select the Keystone correction method.
Press cKEYSTONEontheremotecontrol.
• “GEOMETRIC ADJUSTMENT” will be
displayed.
• Each time c KEYSTONE is pressed, the
display toggles as follows:
• If you cannot correct trapezoidal distortion with
Keystone correction, change the placement
position of the projector.
• Straight lines and the edges of the displayed
image may appear jagged, when adjusting the
Keystone setting.

About Copyrights
• When using the RESIZE function to select an image size with a different aspect ratio
to a TV program or video image, the image will look different from its original appear-
ance. Keep this in mind while choosing an image size.
• The use of the Resize, Keystone Correction, Subtitle, or Overscan function to com-
press or stretch the image for commercial purposes/public displays in a café, hotel,
etc.may be an infringement of copyright protected by law for copyright holders. Please
use caution.
• While watching non-widescreen images (4:3), if you use the RESIZE function to fill
the screen or use the Overscan function to change the aspect ratio of a fixed-ratio
input signal, parts of the outer edge of the image will be cut off or distorted.To watch
original images as the producers intended, set RESIZE to “SIDE BAR” and Overscan
to its default setting.

Cleaning the lens
I Ensure that you have unplugged the power
cord before cleaning the projector.
I 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.
I 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.
I As the surface of the lens can easily get
damaged, be careful not to scrape or hit the
lens.
I 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.
I Wipe off dirt gently with a soft flannel cloth.
I 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.

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 “

page 55.
About the lamp indicator
I 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 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.
• Do not unplug the power cord after the projector has entered standby mode and while the cooling
fan is running. The cooling fan runs for about 90 seconds.

Regarding the Lamp
Lamp
I It is recommended that the lamp (sold separately) be replaced when the remaining lamp life becomes
5% or less, or when you notice a significant deterioration in the picture and color quality. The lamp life
(percentage) can be checked with the on-screen display. (See page 49.)
I Purchase a replacement lamp of type AN-XR10L2 from your place of purchase, nearest Sharp
Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center.
Caution Concerning the Lamp
I 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.
I 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.
I 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.
I 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
• Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp will be very hot and may
cause burn or injury.
I 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.
