							SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 13A fuse. Should
the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked 
 or  and of the same rating
as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the
mains plug and fit an appropriate type.
DANGER:
The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of
in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious
electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug.
Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:
• If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.
• The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Caution Concerning the Lamp Unit
Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp has ruptured. Please have
Sharp Authorized LCD Projector Dealer or Service Center replace
lamp if rupture occurs.
See “Replacing the Projection Lamp” on page 37.
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. If the projector is used in these
environments, the lens will need to be cleaned more often, and
internal cleaning may become necessary. As long as the projector is
regularly cleaned, use in these environments will not reduce the
overall operation life of the unit. Internal cleaning should only be
performed by a Sharp Authorized LCD Projector Dealer or Service
Center.
Notes on Operation
• The three marks shown on the left are caution labels for parts of
the projector that emit intense heat during operation.
• The cooling fan (exhaust vent), the lamp cage cover and adjacent
areas may be extremely hot during projector operation. To prevent
injury, do not touch these areas until they have sufficiently cooled.
• Allow at least 10 cm (3 
15/16 inches) of space between the cooling
fan (exhaust vents) and the nearest wall or obstruction.
• If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection device will
automatically turn off the projector lamp. This does not indicate a
malfunction. Remove the projector power cord from the wall outlet
and wait until the projector has sufficiently cooled. Then turn on the
power by plugging the power cord back in. This will return the
projector to the normal operating condition.

Basic Information &
Preparations
Features
Congratulations On Your Purchase Of The PG-M10X/PG-M10S Digital Multimedia
Projector
The PG-M10X/PG-M10S is one of the smallest data projectors available today. Although small in size, the unit allows you to
project precise images up to 200 inches (measured diagonally) from your PC or Macintosh desktop or notebook computer,
VCR, document camera, laser disc player, DVD player, etc.
The unit can be operated from a standard table top. The unit can also be used to project images from behind the screen.
Main Features You’ll Enjoy
• Compatible with following various color systems:
– NTSC (U.S. and Canada standard)
– NTSC4.43 (Middle East standard)
– PAL (Western Europe standard)
– PAL-M (Brazil standard)
– PAL-N (Argentina standard)
– PAL (60 Hz)
– SECAM (France and Eastern Europe standard)
• (PG-M10X)
Small size, and weighing only 1.4 kg (3.1 lbs.)
(PG-M10S)
Small size, and weighing only 1.4 kg (3.1 lbs.)
Using Digital Micromirror Device
TM (DMDTM) by Texas Instruments we have developed an efficient design to improve light
output efficiency. With this improvement, we can better reproduce the three basic colors (RGB) required for color
reproduction on a single DMD. This results in superior brightness, smaller size and lighter weight.
• Sharp, clear images
There is no RGB color separation, and the spaces between the individual pixels are not noticeable. That means sharp and
clear reproduction of small characters and figures. Take a closer look and notice the difference in quality!
• Outstanding sharp, clear, 3D like images with vivid colors when reproducing DVD video and other high picture-
quality data/video sources
Accurate gray scale reproduction makes for more natural image displays. DVD and other high quality image sources bring
out the true image display quality of the unit.
• Screen not distorted to a trapezoid (keystoning) when projecting to the height of the line of vision
Because the projection position is already set to the height of the line of vision, there is no keystoning effect.
Even when projecting above or under the height of the line of vision, image distortion (if any) can be adjusted using the
keystone correction function.
• (PG-M10X)
Fully compatible with true XGA; support for SXGA using advanced intelligent compression technology
The advanced intelligent compression technology enables these projectors to present clear compression SXGA images
without any line omission.
(PG-M10S)
Fully compatible with true SVGA; support for XGA using advanced intelligent compression technology
The advanced intelligent compression technology enables it to present clear compression XGA images without any line
omission.
• A remote control that can operate the PC
The supplied remote control both operates the unit and acts as a wireless mouse control to operate the PC connected to
the unit. The wireless mouse control is available when the unit is connected to USB or PS/2 port of the personal computer.
• The compact and easy to carry cabinet with its contemporary design compliments any office, boardroom, or
auditorium.
