Caution Concerning the Lamp Unit
There is a potential hazard of glass particles if the lamp ruptures. In case of
lamp rupture, contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Service Center or Dealer
for a replacement.
See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 45.
Cautions 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 lens and
par t of filter must be cleaned more often than usual. 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 inter nal cleaning must be
per formed by a Sharp Authorized Service Center or Dealer.
•Do not expose the projector to extreme heat or cold.
Operating temperature: 41°F to 95°F (+5°C to 35°C)
Storage temperature: –4°F to 140°F (–20°C to +60°C)
Notes on Operation
•The exhaust ventilative hole, the lamp cage cover and adjacent areas may
get extremely hot during projector operation. To prevent injury, do not touch
these areas until they have sufficiently cooled down.
•Allow at least 1 foot (30 cm) of space between the exhaust ventilative hole
and the nearest wall or obstruction.
•If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection device will automatically
tur n 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 turn on the power by plugging the power cord back in. This will retur n
the projector to the normal operating condition. This caution is found at the bottom of the projector. See “Caution Concer ning the Lamp Replacement”
on page 2 for its location.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Temperature Monitor Function
If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems “TEMP” and “” will
blink 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 cooling-off period the power will
shut off. Refer to “Lamp/Maintenance Indicators” on page 43 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.

and high picture quality for an exciting theater experience.
* Digital Light Processing, DLP, Digital Micromirror Device and DMD are trademarks of Texas Instruments.
2. Five Speed Primary Color Wheel
The color wheel consists of only the three primary colors of the light and creates a higher contrast image
with high color purity.
3. Advanced Video  Circuitry
The video circuit setup is designed for obtaining optimal images from audiovisual equipment. The circuit
optimizes high optical performance that originates in the DMD chip and the five speed primary color
wheel, to realize outstanding video images.
4. Low Noise Design
A new optical engine has been developed for this product to minimize fan noise for undisturbed viewing.
5. Lens Shift Function
The digital shift function optically adjusts the vertical position of images. The function allows for simple
adjustment when setting up the projector for the first time.
6. 2D Keystone Correction
The 2D keystone correction function electrically corrects the size of projected images. The function
enables diagonal projection and the wider range settings.
7. HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) System
Digital entertainment content is protected from copying with the HDCP system.
8. For Use with DTV
Allows projection of DTV images and 16:9 wide-screen images when connected to a DTV decoder or
similar video system.
9. Easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI)
A multi-color menu system, which allows for simple image adjustments.
10. Color Temperature  Adjustment
The function can be used to adjust the color temperature to suit the type of image input to the projector.
11. Gamma Correction Function
The gamma value setting can be adjusted according to the input source for optimal image contrast.
12. Picture Setting Function
The values in various adjustment settings can be stored. The function can be used to select the values to
suit the type of image input to the projector by pressing the PICTURE SETTING button on the projector or
on the remote control.
13. Component Video  Input
Utilizes a component video input signal (Y, PB, PR). The video signal is input as separate components to
provide superior color and image quality.
14. Direct Computer Compatibility
A multi-scan RGB input accepts signals from VGA (640 dots × 480 lines) and Macintosh (from 13 compatible
computers) without the need for any additional hardware.
