Setting Up the Projector
Setting Up the Projector
For optimal image quality, position the projector perpendicular to the screen with the projectors 
feet fl at and level. Doing so will eliminate the need for Keystone correction and provide the best 
image quality. (See page 28 .)
Standard Setup (Front Projection)
Place the projector at the required distance 
from the screen according to the desired 
picture size. (See page 19.)

work.
A Macintosh adaptor may be required for use with some Macintosh computers. Contact your nearest 
Macintosh Dealer.
Depending on the computer you are using, an image may not be projected unless the 
computers external output port is switched on (e.g. Press “Fn” and “F5” keys 
simultaneously when using a SHARP notebook computer). Refer to the speci c instructions in 
your computers operation manual to enable your computers external output port.

Controlling the Projector by a Computer
When the RS-232C terminal on the projector is connected to a computer with a DIN-D-sub RS-
232C adaptor (optional, AN-A1RS) and an RS-232C serial control cable (cross type, 
commercially available), the computer can be used to control the projector and check the status 
of the projector. See page 61 for details.

See pages 59 and 60  for connection of an RS-232C serial control cable.


Note
Info
Do not connect the RS-232C cable to a port other than the RS-232C terminal on the computer. This 
may damage your computer or projector.
Do not connect or disconnect an RS-232C serial control cable to or from the computer while it is on. 
This may damage your computer.

The lamp indicator illuminates to indicate the 
status of the lamp.
Green:  The lamp is on.
Blinking in green:  The lamp is warming up.Red:  The lamp is shut down 
abnormally or the lamp should be 
replaced.
When switching on the projector, a slight 
 ickering of the image may be experienced 
within the  rst minute after the lamp has been 
illuminated. This is normal operation as the 
lamps control circuitry is stabilising the lamp 
output characteristics. It should not be 
regarded as faulty operation.
If the projector is put into Standby mode and 
immediately turned on again, the lamp may 
take some time to start projection.
When System Lock is set, the keycode input 
box appears. To cancel the keycode setting, 
input the keycode that you have already set. 
See page  50 for details.
