Transporting the Projector
When transporting the projector, carry it by the carrying handle on the side. A soft-side carrying bag is also
provided to transport the projector.
Using the Carrying Handle
Using the Carrying BagCAUTION
•Always put on the lens cap to prevent damage to the lens
when transporting the projector.
•Do not lift or carry the projector by the lens or the lens cap
as this may damage the lens.
Before placing the projector into the carrying bag, set up
the inner pad inside the bag as shown.
CAUTION
•The supplied carrying bag is made exclusively for the
projector and its supplied accessories. Do not place other
items into the carrying bag with the projector or use the
bag to transport items other than the projector and its
accessories.
•This bag is provided merely to transport the projector and
its accessories, not to protect these products from damage
as a result of rough handling. Do not expose these products
to shocks or impact when transported in the carrying bag.
•Wait until the projector has sufficiently cooled before placing
it into the carrying bag. If the projector is placed into the
bag while it is still hot, the heat may damage the bag lining.

PC control
A computer can be used to control the projector by connecting an RS-232C cable (cross type, sold separately) to
the projector. (See page 15 for connection.)
Communication conditions
Set the serial port settings of the computer to match that of the table on the next page.
Signal format: Conforms to RS-232C standard.
Baud rate: 9,600 bps
Data length: 8 bits
Parity bit: NON
Stop bit: 1 bit
Flow control: None
Basic format
Commands from the computer are sent in the following order: command, parameter, and return code. After the
projector processes the command from the computer, it sends a response code to the computer.

Command format
When more than one code is being sent, send each command only after the OK response code for the previous
command from the projector is verified.
•When using the computer control function of the projector, the projector operating status cannot be read to the computer.
Therefore, confirm the status by transmitting the display commands for each adjustment menu and checking the status with
the On-screen Display. If the projector receives a command other than a menu display command, it will execute the com-
mand without displaying the On-screen Display.

This unit has some inactive TFTs within acceptable tolerances which
may result in illuminated or inactive dots on the picture screen. This
will not affect the picture quality or the life expectancy of the unit. This SHARP projector uses LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panels. These
very sophisticated panels contain 786,432 pixels ( RGB) TFTs (Thin
Film Transistors). As with any high technology electronic equipment
such as large screen TVs, video systems and video cameras, there
are certain acceptable tolerances that the equipment must conform
to.
Specifications are subject to change without notice.

Guide to Effective Presentations
Electronic presentations are one of the most effective
tools presenters can use to persuade an audience.
There are several ways to enhance your presentation
and maximise your effectiveness. The following are
guidelines to help you create and deliver a dynamic
presentation.
a. Types of Presentations
Computer Presentations•To present basic information such as graphs, spreadsheets,
documents and images, use word processing and spreadsheet
applications.
•To convey more complex information and create more dynamic
presentations which allow you to control the pace of your delivery,
utilise software such as Astound
®, Freelance®, Persuasion® or
PowerPoint®.
•For high-end multimedia and interactive presentations, use software
such as Macromedia Director
®.
•Astound®, Freelance®, Persuasion®, PowerPoint® and Macromedia
Director® are trademarks of their respective companies.
Video Presentations
Use of video equipment, such as a VCR, DVD player and LD player,
can be effective for delivering instructional or illustrative information
that is difficult to present.
Digital Cameras and Personal Digital Assistants
(PDAs)
For highly compact and portable presentations, still cameras, digital
video cameras, document cameras and PDAs are ideal for transferring
data without cumbersome conversions.
Multimedia PresentationsYou can integrate all of the above methods for a full multimedia
presentation including video, audio, computer applications and World
Wide Web information.
Wireless Presentations
Use any IrDA/IrTran-P compatible source such as a laptop, digital
camera or PDA to project still images quickly and effortlessly without
the use of cables.
b. Creative Presentations
Oftentimes presenters do not take advantage of the many
subtle ways they can manipulate their electronic slides to more
effectively persuade the audience.
Colour has a great effect on the audience during a
presentation. When used correctly and legibly, studies show
that background & foreground colours establish an emotional
tone for a presentation, help viewers understand and retain
information, and influence an audience to take a desired
course of action.
Colour Considerations•Choose legible colours.
•Text and graphics colours need sufficient contrast.
•Use darker colours for the background since a lighter background
can create uncomfortable glare. (Yellow on black creates an ideal
contrast.)

•Background colours can subconsciously affect the
audience:
Red—increases viewers’ pulse and breathing and
encourages risk taking but can also be associated with
financial loss.
Blue—has a calming and conservative affect on the
audience but can also create boredom among corporate
audiences that are often inundated with this background
colour.
Green—stimulates interaction.
Black—conveys finality and certainty. Use it as a transitional
colour between slides when moving from one idea to
another.
•Foreground colours create a major impact on how well an
audience understands and remembers a message.
•Use one or two bright colours for emphasis.
•Highlight important messages.
•The eye has a difficult time reading certain coloured text on
certain coloured backgrounds. For example, text and
background colours in red and green, and blue and black
make for difficult viewing.
•Colourblind individuals may find it difficult to distinguish
between red and green, brown and green, and purple and
blue. Avoid using these colours together.
Fonts
•One of the most common mistakes in any type of
presentation visual is the selection of type fonts that are too
small, too thin, or too difficult to read.
•If you are not sure how well a given font will read on a screen
at various sizes, try this: Draw a 15 cm  20 cm box on a
piece of paper and print out several lines of text inside the
box with your computer printer at 300 or 600 dpi resolution.
Vary the sizes of text to simulate headline, body and text
call-outs for any charts or graphs. Hold the printout at arm’s
length. This is how your text will look on a 1.2 meters-wide
screen at 3 meters, on a 2.3 meters-wide screen at 6.1
meters and a 3.7 meters-wide screen at 9.1 meters. If you
cannot read the text easily, you should put less copy on
your visuals or use larger typefaces.
•Design your visuals so that they are visible by the viewer in
the last row.
•Nothing will ruin your presentation faster than misspelled
words. Take the time to proofread and edit your work before
your visuals become a permanent part of your presentation.
•Mixed case text is easier to read than text which is displayed
in capital letters.
•Another important attribute of fonts is whether any particular
face is serif or sans-serif. Serifs are small, usually horizontal
cross strokes that are added to the end of a letter’s main
strokes. Because of their ability to coax the eye along the
line of type, fonts with serifs are generally acknowledged to
be more readable.
