When connecting to equipment with HDMI output teminal (INPUT6)
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.

(commercially available)
Note
• HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a digital AV interface that can deliver a high-defini-
tion video signal, multi-channel audio signal, and bi-directional control signal all in just one cable.
• 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.

(commercially available)
When connecting a computer, ensure that it is the last device to be turned on after all the
connections are made.
Ensure that you have read the operation manuals of the devices to be connected before making
connections.
• See page 
58 “Computer Compatibility Chart” for a list of computer signals compatible with the projec-
tor. Use with computer signals other than those listed may cause some of th\
e functions to not work.
• A Macintosh adaptor may be required for use with some Macintosh computers. Contact your near- est Macintosh Dealer.
• Depending on the computer you are using, an image may not be projected unless the
computer’s external output port is switched on. (e.g. Press “Fn” and “F5” keys simultaneously
when using a SHARP notebook computer).  Refer to the specific instructions in your computers
operation manual to enable your computer’s external output port.

Turning the Projector On/Off
Remove the lens cap and press
SSTANDBY/ON on the projector or
bON on the remote control.
•About the Lamp Indicator
The lamp indicator illuminates to indicate the
status of the lamp.
Green: The lamp is on.
Blinking in green:The lamp is warming up
or shutting down.
Red:The lamp is shut down abnormally
or the lamp should be replaced.
• When switching on the projector, a slight flick-
ering of the image may be experienced within
the first minute after the lamp has been illumi-
nated. This is normal operation as the lamp’s
control circuitry is stabilising the lamp output
characteristics. It should not be regarded as
faulty operation.
• If the projector is put into standby mode and
immediately turned on again, the lamp may
take some time to start projection.STANDBY/ON buttonNote

• English is the factory default language. If you
want to change the on-screen display to another

blinks in green while cooling.
• The power indicator changes to red when
the projector finishes cooling.
• Do not unplug the power cord during projection
