• Do not mix new and old batteries.
This may shorten 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 in can cause them to leak.
Battery fluid from leaked batteries is harmful to skin, therefore ensure\
 to first wipe them and then remove them
using a cloth.
• The batteries included with this projector may run down in a short perio\
d, depending on how they are kept.
Ensure to replace them as soon as possible with new batteries.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control if you will not be using th\
e remote control for a long time.
Usable Range
The remote control can be used to control
the projector within the ranges shown in the
illustration.
Note
•The signal from the remote control can be re-
flected off a screen for easy operation. How-
ev er, the effective distance of the signal may
differ depending on the screen material.
When using the remote control:
• Ensure not to drop, expose to moisture or high
temperature.

Setting Up the Projector
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with the projector’s feet flat and level to achieve an
optimal image.
Note
• The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If th\
e horizontal line passing through
the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.
• For an optimal image, position the screen so that it is not in direct su\
nlight 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 projector in a sunny or bright room.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)
■ Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according t\
o the desired picture size. (For
details, refer to “SETUP GUIDE” contained on the supplied CD-ROM.)\

Projecting a Reversed Image
Projection from behind the Screen
■Place a translucent screen between the projector and the audience.
■ Reverse the image by setting “Rear” in the “PRJ Mode” menu. \
(See page 
84 .)
Projection Using a Mirror
■Place a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens.
■ When the translucent screen is placed between the mirror and audience, s\
et to “Front” in the “PRJ Mode”
menu. (See page 
84 .)
■ When the mirror is placed on the audience side, set to “Rear” in t\
he “PRJ Mode” menu. (See page 
84 .)
Info
•When using a mirror, ensure that both the projector and the mirror are carefully placed so \
the projected
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 Au-
thorized Projector Dealer or Service Center to obtain the recom-
mended ceiling-mount bracket (sold separately).
•AN-PHCM20 ceiling-mount bracket, its AN-EP101AP extension
tube (for the U.S.A.).
• AN-NV6T ceiling-mount bracket, its AN-TK201 and AN-TK202
extension tubes (for countries other than the U.S.A.).
