•Depending on the computer you are using, an
image may not be projected unless the signal
output setting of the computer is switched to
the external output. Refer to the computer op-
eration manual for switching the computer sig-
nal output settings.
Ferrite core
Connecting the thumbscrew cables

Connect the thumbscrew cable making sure that it fits cor-
rectly into the terminal. Then, firmly secure the connec-
tors by tightening the screws on both sides of the plug.


Do not remove the ferrite core attached to the RGB cable.

•Before switching the “DIGITAL INPUT
TYPE” switch and connecting, be sure to
unplug the power cord of the projector
from the AC outlet and turn off the com-
puter to be connected. After making all
connections, turn on the projector and
then the computer.
•Be sure that the computer is the last de-
vice to be turned on after all the connec-
tions are made.
“Plug and Play” function

This projector is compatible with VESA-standard DDC 1/DDC 2B. The projector and a VESA DDC
compatible computer will communicate their setting requirements, allowing for quick and easy setup.

Before using the “Plug and Play” function, be sure to turn on the projector first and the con-
nected computer last.
Note
•The DDC “Plug and Play” function of this projector operates only when used in conjunction with a VESA
DDC compatible computer.

Controlling the
Projector Using an
RS-232C Cable
When the RS-232C terminal on the projector
is connected to a computer with an RS-232C
cable (null modem, cross type, commercially
available), the computer can be used to con-
trol the projector and check the status of the
projector. See page 65 for details.
1Connect an RS-232C cable to
the projector.
2Connect the above cable to the
computer.
Note
•Do not connect or disconnect an RS-232C
cable to or from the computer while it is
on. This may damage your computer.
•The RS-232C function may not operate if
your computer terminal is not correctly set
up. Refer to the operation manual of the
computer for details.
•Refer to “Computer Compatibility Chart”
on page 66 for a list of computer signals
compatible with the projector. Use with
computer signals other than those listed
may cause some of the functions not to
work.

Setup
 Caution
•Do not hold the lens when lifting, lower-
ing or rotating the projector.
•
When lowering the projector, be careful not
to get your fingers caught in the area be-
tween the Swivel Stand and the projector.
Note
•When the height or direction of the pro-
jector is adjusted, the image may become
distorted (keystoned), depending on the
relative positions of the projector and the
screen. See page 33 for details on the
keystone correction.
Using the Swivel Stand
You can adjust the angle and direction of the
projected image by using the Swivel Stand.
1Unlock the lever on the Swivel
Stand.
2Adjust the angle and direction
of the projected image as you
want by lifting up the projec-
tor and rotating the projector
on the Swivel Stand.
3Lock the lever on the Swivel
Stand.

Adjusting the Projection Distance
Setup
• Refer to pages 33 and 34 about the function of Keystone correction and placement of projector using the
correction.
• Decide the placement of the projector referring to the figures on the table and the diagram below
according to the size of your screen and input signal.

(d) Horizontal placement range when projection distance is minimum.
(e) Vertical placement range when projection distance is maximum.
(
 f ) Vertical placement range when projection distance is minimum.
Note
• The aspect ratio of the projected image shifts slightly when
the lens shift is at a position other than the top position.
• The aspect ratio of the projected image also shifts slightly
when the “H Keystone” and “V Keystone” functions are
adjusted simultaneously.
• When adjusting “H Keystone” and “V Keystone” at the same
time, the values of adjustable angles for each setting
become smaller.
• Keystone correction cannot be applied to On-screen
Display.
• When Keystone correction is applied, the resolution of image
can be deteriorated to some extent.
• There are errors of ±3% in the formulas below.

Upper and Lower Lens Shift Position
•This projector is equipped with a lens shift function that lets you adjust the projection height.
•Adjust the projection height to match the setup configuration.
•The screen can be moved maximum the length of one screen vertically using the lens shift.
Note
•Optimal image quality is produced with the projector positioned perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level.
Tilting or angling the projector will reduce the effectiveness of the lens shift function.

Rear Projection

Place a translucent screen between the projector and the au-
dience.

Use the projector’s menu screen to reverse the projected im-
age. (See page 56
for use of this func-
tion.)
Note
•Optimal image quality can be achieved when the projector is
positioned perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and lev-
eled.
Projection using a mirror

Place a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens.
Info
•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, remove the
Swivel Stand. (See pages
24 and 25 for removing and
attaching the Swivel Stand.)

Before mounting the
projector, contact your
nearest Sharp Authorised
Projector Dealer or Service
Centre to obtain the recommended ceiling-mount bracket (sold
separately). (AN-TK202 ceiling-mount bracket, AN-TK201
extension tube, AN-60KT ceiling adaptors for AN-TK202 or AN-
TK201)

When the projector is in the inverted position, use the upper
edge of the screen as the base line.

Use the projector’s menu screen to select the appropriate pro-
jection mode. (See page 56 for use of this function.)
