Regarding the Lamp
Info
•If the temperature warning indicator illuminates, and the projector enters the standby mode, follow the pos-
sible solutions on the previous page and then wait until the projector has cooled down completely before
plugging in the power cord and turning the power back on. (At least 5 minutes.)
•If the power is turned off for a brief moment due to power outage or some other cause while using the
projector, and the power supply recovers immediately after that, the lamp indicator will illuminate in red and
the lamp may not be lit. In this case, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, replace the power cord in the
AC outlet and then turn the power on again.
•If you want to clean the air vents during projector operation, be sure to put the projector into the standby
mode. After the cooling fan has stopped, clean the vents.
•The cooling fan keeps the internal temperatures of the projector constant and this function is controlled
automatically. The sound of the cooling fan may change during operation because the fan speed may change
and this is not a malfunction.
•Do not unplug the power cord after the projector has entered the standby mode and while the cooling fan is
running. The cooling fan runs for about 90 seconds.
Lamp

It is recommended that the lamp (sold separately) be replaced when the remaining lamp life be-
comes 5% or less, or when you notice a significant deterioration in the picture and color quality.
The lamp life (percentage) can be checked with the on-screen display. See page 51.

For lamp replacement, please consult your nearest Sharp Authorised Projector Dealer or Service Centre.
Caution Concerning the Lamp

This projector utilizes a pressurized mercury lamp. A loud sound may indicate lamp failure. Lamp
failure can be attributed to numerous sources such as: excessive shock, improper cooling, surface
scratches or deterioration of the lamp due to a lapse of usage time. The period of time up to failure
largely varies depending on the individual lamp and/or the condition and the frequency of use. It is
important to note that failure can often result in the bulb cracking.

When the lamp replacement indicator and on-screen display icon are illuminated, it is recommended
that the lamp be replaced with a new one immediately, even if the lamp appears to be operating
normally.

Should the lamp break, the glass particles may spread inside the lamp unit or gas contained in the
lamp may be vented into the room from the exhaust vent. Because the gas in this lamp includes
mercury, ventilate the room well if the lamp breaks and avoid all exposure to the released gas. In
case of exposure to the gas, consult a doctor as soon as possible.

Should the lamp break, there is also a possibility that glass particles may spread inside of the
projector. In such a case, it is recommended you contact your nearest Sharp Authorised Projector
Dealer or Service Centre to remove the damaged lamp and assure safe operation.
Replacing the Lamp
Caution
•Do not remove the lamp unit immediately after operation of the projector. The lamp will be hot and touching
it can lead to burn or injury.
•Wait at least one hour after the power cord is disconnected to allow the surface of the lamp unit to fully cool
before removing the lamp unit.

If the new lamp does not light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorised
Projector Dealer or Service Centre for repair. Purchase a replacement lamp unit of type BQC-
XVZ200++1 from your nearest Sharp Authorised Projector Dealer or Service Centre. Then carefully
change the lamp by following the instructions described in this section. If you wish, you may have
the lamp replaced at your nearest Sharp Authorised Projector Dealer or Service Centre.

Cleaning the Ventilative Holes
• This projector is equipped with
ventilative holes to ensure the opti-
mal operating condition of the projec-
tor.
• Periodically clean the ventilative hole
by vacuuming it off with a vacuum
cleaner.
• The ventilative holes should be
cleaned every 100 hours of use. Clean
the ventilative holes more often when
the projector is used in a dirty or
smoky location.
Cleaning the
Ventilative Holes
1Put the projector into the
standby mode.
•Press .
•Wait until the cooling fan stops.
2Unplug the power cord.
3Clean the dust off by putting

Check
• Projector power cord is not plugged into the wall outlet.
• Selected input is wrong. (See page 31.)
• Cables incorrectly connected to back panel of the projector. (See pages
14–23.)
• “Contrast” and “Bright” adjustments are set to minimum position. (See
page 44.)
• Picture adjustments are not correct. (See page 44.)
• Adjust the focus. (See page 25.)
• Projection distance is too long or too short to allow for proper focus. (See
pages 26 and 27.)
• OSD Display is set to “OFF”, preventing to display some or all On-screen
Displays. (See page 51.)
• If the picture is normal, the sound is due to cabinet shrinkage caused by
temperature changes. This will not affect operation or performance of the
projector.
• Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on page 58.
• Adjust the “Phase” setting. (See page 48.)
• Change the input signal type. (See page 52.)

PC control
A computer can be used to control the projector by connecting an RS-232C cable (null modem, cross type,
commercially available) to the projector. (See page 23 for connection.)
Communication conditions
Set the serial port settings of the computer to match that of the table.
Signal format: Conforms to RS-232C standard.
Baud rate: 9,600 bps
Data length: 8 bits
Parity bit: None
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.
Info
•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.
Note
•When using the computer control function of the projector, the projector’s operating status cannot be read by
the computer. Therefore, confirm the status by transmitting the display commands for each adjustment
menu and checking the status with the on-screen display.
Commands
Example:
•When power on.
