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 44 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-XGCM53 ceiling-mount bracket, AN-EP101B
extension tube for AN-XGCM53.)
•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 44 for use of this function.)
