removing the
batteries
Inserting the Batteries
The batteries (four R03 batteries (“AAA” size, UM/
SUM-4, HP-16 or similar)) are included in the package.
1Slide the cover in the direction
of the arrow to open it.
2Insert the included batteries.
•Insert the batteries making sure the po-
larities correctly match the  and marks inside the battery compartment.
Info
•When inserting the batteries into the battery
compartment of the GyroRemote, make
sure that the batteries are placed over the
pullstring for the easy removal in the feature.
If not, it may be difficult to remove old
batteries when they have to be replaced.
3Slide the cover in the direction
of the arrow to close it.
Note
•GyroRemote Sleep Function
To avoid battery consumption, the
GyroRemote automatically enters the
Sleep mode if not action takes place within
5 minutes. If the GyroRemote cannot be
operated, press once the POWER button
on the GyroRemote to resume operation.
Replacing the Batteries
The LED indicator will blink when
the batteries need to be replaced.
•Make sure to replace the batteries with new
batteries as soon as possible when the LED
indicator starts to blink.
•Be sure to use alkaline batteries.
Note
•If GyroRemote is idle for five minutes, it
will go into sleep mode to conserve battery
life. Pressing any button will make
GyroRemote up.

 Caution•Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the  and  marks inside the battery compartment.
•Batteries of different types have different proper ties, therefore do not mix batteries of different types.
•Do not mix new and old batteries.
This may shor ten the life of new batteries or may cause old batteries to leak.
•Remove the batteries from the remote control once they have run out, as leaving them can cause them to leak.
Battery fluid from leaked batteries is harmful to your skin, therefore be sure to first wipe them and then remove them using a cloth.
•The batteries included with this projector may be exhausteol over a shor t period, depending on how they are kept. Be sure to replace them as soon as
possible with new batteries.
•Remove the batteries from the remote control if you will not be using the remote control for a long time.

GyroRemote Features
This projector uses the GyroRemote technology, that allows for the following features when compared to
ordinary infrared remote controls.
RF Technology
With ordinary remote controls, the operation range is limited
because of directivity; they cannot operate if there are objects
between the projector and the remote.
The GyroRemote can operate up to a range of 15 m (49.2 feet) by
sending RF signals to the projector.
Note
•The control range measured is with the projector’s antenna fully extended.
•The control range under actual operating conditions may be less than optimum depending on where the
projector is placed.
Caution
Do not use the GyroRemote in restricted places, such as hospitals.
•Signals from the GyroRemote may affect electronic equipment or medical electronic equipment, thereby
causing accidents.
•When using the GyroRemote in medical institutions, make sure to follow the directives of each institution.
Multi-Projector Control
This projector has a GyroRemote identification function that makes possible to perform various operations
such as the ones below.

No interference even if other projectors of the same type are within the GyroRemote’s operating range.

Multiple projectors can be operated with one GyroRemote.

One projector can be operated using multiple GyroRemotes.
•Refer to page 40 for details about using the GyroRemote.

Operation Range: Area up to a 15 m

Calibrating the
GyroRemote
If there are any extreme temperature changes
when the GyroRemote is being used or after
batteries have been replaced, the mouse
cursor or pointer may continue to move by
itself even if no action has been performed. In
this case, calibrate the GyroRemote using the
following procedure.
1Double click  on the rear
of the GyroRemote.
2Make sure that the LED
indicator is lit, and place the
GyroRemote on a leveled
location.
•After leaving the GyroRemote for 6
seconds, the calibration of the
GyroRemote is complete.
3Press , after leaving the
GyroRemote for more than 6
seconds.
•Calibration is complete after the
remote has been left for more than 6
seconds.

Setup
Using the Adjustment
Feet
The height of the projector can be adjusted
using the adjustment feet when the surface
of the projector is placed on is uneven or when
the screen is slanted.
The projection of the image can be made
higher by adjusting the projector when it is in
a location lower than the screen.
1Press the foot releases.
2Lift the projector to adjust its
height and remove your hands
from the foot releases.
3Rotate the adjustment feet to
make minor changes.
Note
•When returning the projector to its origi-
nal position, hold the projector firmly, press
the foot releases and then lower it.
•The projector is adjustable up to approxi-
mately 5.5 degrees from the standard po-
sition.
Info
•Do not press the foot releases when the
feet are extended without firmly holding
the projector.
•Do not hold the lens when lifting or lower-
ing the projector.
•
When lowering the projector, be careful not
to get your fingers caught in the area be-
tween the adjustment feet and the projector.

Example of Standard Setup
Setting up the Screen
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image.
Note
•The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through the
lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.
•For optimal image, position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly on
the screen washes out the 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.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)

Place the projector at the required distance from the screen
according to the desired picture size. (See page 24.)
Side View
Top View
•The distance from the screen to the projec-
tor may vary depending on the size of the
screen.P.24
•The default setting can be used, when plac-
ing the projector in front of the screen. If the
projected image is reversed or inverted, re-
adjust the setting to “Front” in “PRJ Mode”.
P.98
•Place the projector so that an imaginary
horizontal line that passes through the center
of the lens is perpendicular to the screen.

Projecting a Reversed/Inverted Image
Projection from behind the screen

Place a translucent screen between the projector and the
audience.

Reverse the image by setting “Rear” in “PRJ Mode”. See
page 98 for use of this function.
Projection using a mirror

Place a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens.

Reverse the image by setting “Rear” in “PRJ Mode”, when the
mirror is placed on the audience side. See page 98 for use of
this function.
Info
•When using a mirror, be sure to carefully position both the pro-
jector 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 Sharp
Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center to obtain the
recommended ceiling-mount bracket (sold separately.) (AN-
PGCM90 ceiling-mount bracket, its AN-EP101B extension tube
and AN-JT200 universal bracket, adaptor for non-level ceiling
installation (for U.S.A.), BB-M20T ceiling adaptor, its BB-

GERMANY))

Be sure to adjust the position of the pro-
jector to match the distance (H) from
the lens center position (see page 24)
to the lower edge of the image, when
mounting the projector on
