Setup & Connections
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 
51 for use of this
function.)
• Optimal image quality can be achieved when the projector
is positioned perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat
and level.
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.
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.
• It is recommended that you use the optional Sharp
ceiling-mount bracket for this installation.
• Before mounting the projector, contact your nearest
Sharp Authorized LCD Projector Dealer or Service
Center to obtain the recommended ceiling-mount
bracket (sold separately). (AN-XGCM61 ceiling-mount
bracket and its AN-EP101AP extension tube (for
U.S.A.), or AN-NV6T ceiling-mount bracket and its AN-
TK201/AN-TK202 extension tubes (for countries other
than the U.S.A.))
• 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 
51 for use
of this function.)

Projector• Gamma is an image quality enhancement function
that offers a richer image by brightening the darker
portions of the image without altering the brightness
of the brighter portions.
• Four gamma settings are available to allow for
differences in the images displayed and in the
brightness of the room.
• When you are displaying images with frequent, dark
scenes, such as a film or concert, or when you are
displaying images in a bright room, this feature makes
the dark scenes easier to see and gives the
impression of greater depth in the image.
