CACCU5013DE01
CAUTION
• Make sure the power cord is firmly connected into the AC socket.
• The projector will enter the stand-by mode after turning the power off and then re-plugging the power cord into the AC socket. However,
if you turned off the power by disconnecting the power cord or because of a power failure, the projector will automatically turn on without
pressing the POWER ON button.
1Connect one end of the S-video cable (commercially
available) to the INPUT 3 S-VIDEO terminal, or one end
of the video cable (commercially available) to the INPUT
4 VIDEO terminal on the projector.
2Connect the other end of the S-video cable or the video
cable to the S-video output or Video output terminal of
the video source.
The S-video input ter minal uses a video signal system where
the picture is separated into a color and luminance signal
to realize a higher-quality image.
• For higher quality video, you may use the S-video input terminal on the
projector. S-video cable is commercially available.
• If your video equipment does not have an S-video output terminal, use
the composite video output terminal.
Connecting to Video Equipment
Connecting a video source (VCR, laser disc player, DVD player or DTV decoder) using the INPUT 3
S-VIDEO and INPUT 4 VIDEO terminals
You can connect your projector to a VCR, laser disc player, DVD player, DTV* decoder and other video equipment.* DTV is the umbrella term used to describe the new digital television system in the United States.
CAUTION
• Make sure to turn both the projector and the video equipment off, before connecting.
• As this projector is not equipped with audio input terminals, commercially available audio equipment or your own equipment (such as
speakers or amplifiers) should be used.

Setup & Connections
Connecting to a Computer
When the RS-232C port 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 control the projector and check the status of the
projector. See pages 52, 53 and 54 for details.
Connecting to a computer using the INPUT 5 COMPUTER-RGB port
1Connect one end of the RGB cable (commercially available) to the INPUT 5 COMPUTER-RGB port on the
projector.
2Connect the other end of the corresponding port on a computer.
Connect an RS-232C cable (null modem, cross type, commercially available) to the serial port on the computer.
CAUTION
•Do not connect or disconnect an RS-232C cable to or from the computer while it is on. This may damage your computer.
•Refer to “Computer Compatibility Chart” on page 56 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.
•The RS-232C function may not operate if your computer port is not correctly set up. Please refer to the operation manual of the computer for
details.
•The arrows (→, ↔) in the configuration above indicate the direction of the signals.
•A Macintosh adaptor may be required for use with some Macintosh computers. Contact your nearest Authorized SharpVision Service Center

Setup & Connections
Using the Adjustment Feet
Setting Up the Screen
You can adjust the height of the image by raising the projector with
the foot releases.
1Press the foot releases and lift the projector to the desired angle.
2Remove your hands from the foot releases. Once the adjustment
feet have locked in position, release the projector.
3If the screen is at an angle, the adjusters can be used to adjust
the angle of the image.
Returning the projector to its original position
While holding the projector, press the foot releases and slowly lower
the projector to its original position.
CAUTION
•Do not hold the lens when lifting or lowering the projector.
•When lowering the projector, be careful not to get your fingers caught in the area between the adjustment feet and the
projector.
•The projector is adjustable up to approximately 5° from the standard position.
•When the height of the projector is adjusted, the image may become distorted (keystoned), depending on the relative
positions of the projector and the screen. See page 19 for details on the keystone correction.
The picture can be adjusted within the shift range of the lens by rotating the lens shift dial on the top of the
projector using your finger.

Setup & Connections
Adjusting the Projection Distance
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and leveled to achieve an optimal image.
Move the projector forward or backward if the edges of the image are distorted.
•The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the
image will be distor ted, making viewing difficult.
•Position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly onto the screen washes out 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 screen size. (See the
tables below.) The figures in the tables are based
upon projecting an image so that it occupies the
entire screen.
The for mula for screen size and projection distance
•There is an error of ±3% in the formula above.
•Values with a minus (–) sign indicate the distance of the lens center below the bottom of the
screen.
