Appendix
Regarding the Lamp
Lamp■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 pictur\
e and color quality. The lamp life
(percentage) can be checked with the on-screen display. (See page  48.)
■ Purchase a replacement lamp of type AN-F310LP from your place of purchase, nearest Sharp
Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center.
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, 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.
■ 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
Caution
•Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp will be very hot and may
cause burns or injury.
•W ait 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 light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorized
Projector Dealer or Service Center for repair.

• Power to the external connected devices is off.
•The selected input mode is wrong.
•Cables are incorrectly connected to the projector.
•Remote control battery has run out.
•External output has not been set when connecting notebook computer.
•The lamp unit cover is not installed correctly.
•
If the connected DVI digital equipment is turned on before the “DVI-D”
input mode is selected on the projector, the image may not be
projected properly or may not be displayed at all. Ensure that the
appropriate input mode has been selected on the projector before you
turn on the connected equipment.
• Cables are incorrectly connected to the projector.
•“Bright” is set to minimum position.
• Depending on the computer you are using, an image may not be
projected unless the signal output setting of the computer is
switched to the external output. Refer to the computer’s operation
manual for how to switch its signal output settings.
•Image adjustments are incorrectly set.
• Make adjustments of “Color” and “Tint” in “Picture Mode” and lower
the “BrilliantColorTM” value.
(Video Input only)
•V ideo input system is incorrectly set.
•Adjust the focus.

There is fog on the lens. If the projector is carried from a cold room into a
warm room, or if it is suddenly heated, condensation may form on the
surface of the lens and the image will become blurred. Set up the
projector at least one hour before it is to be used. If condensation should
form, remove the power cord from the wall outlet and wait for it to clear.
(Computer Input only)
• Perform “Fine Sync” Adjustments (“Clock” Adjustment)
• Perform “Fine Sync” Adjustments (“Phase” Adjustment)
•Noise may appear depending on the computer.
• Cables are incorrectly connected to the projector.
•V olume is set to minimum.
• When the projector is connected to an external device and the
volume is set to minimum, the sound is not output even if you turn up
the volume of the external device.
•“Speaker” is set to “Off”.
•Select “Data image is not centered” in the “Help” menu and make thenecessary adjustments.
• Depending on the computer you are using, the output resolution
signal may be different from the one you have set. For details, refer to
the operation manual of the computer.
