1Connect one end of the supplied computer RGB cable
to the INPUT 1 or 2 port on the projector.
2Connect the other end to the Monitor output port on the
computer. Secure the connectors by tightening the
thumb screws.
3To use the built-in audio system, connect one end of
the supplied computer audio cable to the AUDIO INPUT
terminal for INPUT 1, 2 on the projector.
4Connect the other end to the Audio output terminal on
the computer.
CAUTION
•Before connecting, be sure to turn both the projector and the
computer off. After making all connections, turn the projector
on first. The computer should always be turned on last.
•Please read the computer’s operation manual carefully.
•Refer to page 55 “Computer Compatibility Chart” for a list of
computer signals compatible with the projector. Use with
computer signals other than those listed may cause some of
the functions not to work.
When connecting this projector to a computer, select
“Computer/RGB” for “Signal Type” on the GUI menu. (See
page 27.)
•A Macintosh adaptor may be required for use with some
Macintosh computers. Contact your nearest Authorized Sharp
Industrial LCD Products Dealer or Service Center.

Connecting the Projector
Connecting other compatible computers
When connecting the projector to a compatible computer other than an IBM-PC (VGA/SVGA/XGA/SXGA/UXGA)
or Macintosh (i.e. Workstation), a separate cable may be needed. Please contact your dealer for more information.
When connecting this projector to a computer, select “Computer/RGB” for “Signal Type” on the GUI menu. (See page 27.)
•Connecting computers other than the recommended types may result in damage to the projector, the computer, or both.
•AUDIO INPUT for INPUT 1, 2 can be used input audio corresponding to the INPUT 1 and 2 video.
“Plug and Play” function
•This projector is compatible with VESA-standard DDC 1/DDC 2B. The projector and a VESA DDC compatible
computer will communicate their setting requirements, allowing for quick and easy setup.
•Before using the “Plug and Play” function, be sure to turn on the projector first and the connected computer last.
•The DDC, Plug and Play function of this projector operates only when used in conjunction with a VESA DDC compatible
computer.
1Connect the yellow RCA connectors to the corresponding
yellow VIDEO INPUT 3 terminal on the projector and the Video
output terminal on the video source.
2To use the built-in audio system, connect the red and white
RCA connectors to the corresponding red and white AUDIO
INPUT 3 terminals on the projector and the Audio output
terminals on the video source.
The S-VIDEO INPUT terminal uses a video signal system in which
the picture is separated into a color and a luminance signal to
realize a higher-quality image.
When cables are connected to both the S-VIDEO INPUT and
VIDEO INPUT 3 terminals, images input through the S-VIDEO
INPUT terminal have priority over images input through the VIDEO
INPUT 3 terminal.
•For higher quality video, you may use the S-VIDEO INPUT
terminal on the projector. S-video cable is sold separately.
•If your video equipment does not have an S-video output
terminal, use the Composite video output terminal.
Connecting the Projector to Video Equipment
You can connect your projector to a VCR, laser disc player, DVD player, DTV decoder and other audiovisual
equipment.
CAUTION
•Always turn off the projector while connecting to video equipment, in order to protect both the projector and the equipment
being connected.

Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image.
Move the projector forward or backward if the edges of the image are distorted.
•The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be
distorted, making viewing difficult.
•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 setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room.
•A polarizing screen cannot be used with this projector.
Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according
to the desired picture size (see the table below).

Operation
Setting up the Screen
Using the Adjustment Foot
You can adjust the height of the image by raising the
projector with the foot release.
1Press the foot release and lift the projector to the
desired angle. (Adjustable up to approximately
5° from the standard position.)
2Remove your hand from the foot release. Once
the adjustment foot has locked in position, release
the projector.
3If the screen is at an angle, the adjuster can be
used to adjust the angle of the image. (Adjustable
up to approximately 1° from the original position.)13
Foot release
Returning the projector to its original position
While holding the projector, press the foot release and slowly lower the projector to its original position.
•When an adjustment is made, the image may become distorted (keystoned), depending on the relative positions of the projector and the
screen.
CAUTION
•Do not press the foot release when the adjustment foot is extended without firmly holding the projector.
•Do not hold the lens when lifting or lowering the projector.
•When lowering the projector, be careful not to get your fingers caught in the area between the adjustment foot and the
projector.
•Optimal image quality can be achieved when the projector is positioned perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level.
Reversed Image Setup
Projection using a mirror
•When the distance between the projector and screen
is not sufficient for normal rear projection, you can
use a mirror to reflect the image onto the screen.
•Place a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens.
•Project the normal image onto the mirror.
•The image reflected from the mirror is projected onto
the translucent screen.
Rear projection
•Place a translucent screen between the projector and
the audience.
•Use the projector’s menu system to reverse the
projected image. (See page 42 for use of this
function.)
CAUTION
•When using a mirror, be sure to carefully position both the projector and the mirror so the light does not shine into the eyes of
the audience.
Ceiling-mount Setup
•It is recommended that you use the optional Sharp ceiling-
mount bracket for this installation.
•Before mounting the projector, contact your nearest Authorized
Sharp Industrial LCD Products Dealer or Service Center to
obtain the recommended ceiling-mount bracket (sold
separately). (AN-XGCM51 ceiling-mount bracket, AN-
EP101AP extension tube for AN-XGCM51.)
•When the projector is in the inverted position, use the upper
edge of the screen as the base line.
•Use the projector’s menu system to select the appropriate
projection mode. (See page 42 for use of this function.)
