Example of Standard Setup
Setting up the Screen
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image.
Note
•The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through the
lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.
•For optimal image, position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight 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 screen in a sunny or bright room.
•A polarizing screen cannot be used with this projector.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)

Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size. (See
page 31.)
Screen size : 100 inches (254 cm)
Aspect ratio : 16:9

Setup
•The distance from the screen to the projector
may vary depending on the size of the screen.
P. 3 1
•The default setting can be used, when placing the
projector in front of the screen. If the projected im-
age is reversed or inverted, readjust the setting to
“Front” for “PRJ Mode” in the “Options” menu.
P. 7 3
•Place the projector so that an imaginary horizontal
line that passes through the center of the lens is
perpendicular to the screen.

Setup
The image is inverted.
Info
•When using a mirror, be sure to carefully position both the pro-
jector 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
SharpVision Service Center or Dealer to obtain the
recommended ceiling-mount bracket (sold separately). (AN-
CM250 ceiling-mount bracket, AN-EP101B extension tube for
AN-CM250.)

Be sure to adjust the position of the projector to match the
distance (z) from the lens center position (see page 31) to the
lower edge of the image,
when mounting the projec-
tor on the ceiling.

Invert the image by setting
“Ceiling + Front” for “PRJ
Mode” in the “Options”
menu. See page 73 for use
of this function.

Keystone Correction and Vertical Size Adjustment
Correcting Trapezoidal
Distortion and Adjust-
ing the Vertical Size of
the Picture
This function allows for Keystone (On-screen
Trapezoidal Distortion) Correction and the
adjustment of the vertical size of the picture.
Note
•When the image is projected either from
top or from bottom toward the screen at
an angle, the image becomes distorted
trapezoidally.
The function for correcting trapezoidal dis-
tortion is called Keystone Correction.
•The Keystone Correction can be adjusted
up to angle of approximately ±20 degrees.
•There are some input signal in which
“KEYSTONE” does not work.
1Press .
•Each time  is pressed, the settings
toggles as shown on the right.

screen can be diagonally set up to that
angle as well.
•Press  to cancel Keystone Correction.
•Straight lines or the edges of images
may appear jagged while adjusting
