SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 13A fuse. Should
the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked
above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the
mains plug and fit an appropriate type.
and of the same rating as
or
DANGER:
The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in
a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious
electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug.
Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:
• If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.
• The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires.

Important Safeguards
Cautions Concerning the Laser Pointer
The laser pointer on the remote control emits a laser beam from the laser
pointer window. This is a Class II laser which may impair your sight if directed
into the eyes. The two marks shown on the left are caution labels for the laser
beam.
• Do not look into the laser pointer window or shine the laser beam on yourself or
others. (The laser beam used in this product is harmless when directed onto
the skin. However, be careful not to project the beam directly into the eyes.)
• Always use the laser pointer at temperatures between Ⳮ5°C and Ⳮ40°C.
• Use of controls or adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Caution Concerning the Lamp Replacement
See “Replacing the Lamp” on pages 71 and 72.
Caution Concerning the Lamp Unit
Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp ruptures. In case of lamp rupture,
contact your nearest Sharp Authorised LCD Projector Dealer or Service Centre
for a replacement.
See “Replacing the Lamp” on pages 71 and 72.
Cautions Concerning the Setup of the Projector
For minimal servicing and to maintain high image quality, SHARP recommends
that this projector be installed in an area free from humidity, dust and cigarette
smoke. When the projector is subjected to these environments, the lens must
be cleaned more often. As long as the projector is regularly cleaned, use in
these environments will not reduce the overall operation life of the unit. Internal
cleaning should only be performed by a Sharp Authorised LCD Projector
Dealer or Service Centre.
Notes on Operation
• The exhaust vent, the lamp cage cover and adjacent areas may be extremely
hot during projector operation. To prevent injury, do not touch these areas until
they have sufficiently cooled.
• Allow at least 10 cm of space between the exhaust vent and the nearest wall or
obstruction.
• If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection device will automatically
turn off the projector lamp. This does not indicate a malfunction. Remove the
projector power cord from the wall outlet and wait at least 10 minutes. Then
turn on the power by plugging the power cord back in. This will return the
projector to the normal operating condition.

• Newly developed prism enables efficient combination of light from two lamps.
A light axis separation and synthesis prism developed by Sharp enables the efficient
combination of light from the two lamps.
• Single-/Double-lamp Switching Feature
Projection can continue without interruption even if one
lamp burns out. Lamps can be used separately to double
the usage time.
2. Computer Compatibility
• Compatible with resolutions including VGA-XGA (expanded), SXGA (true
resolution) and UXGA (compressed) as well as DTV* formats (480i, 480P, 720P
and 1080i).
3. SXGA Image Quality
• OCS LCD panel enhances colour uniformity.
• Various other circuits are also used to provide high quality video images.
4. Computer & Video Integrated Composer Technology
• New Progressive Mode
I/P conversion with new algorithm used to achieve beautiful image quality.
• Enhanced Up-scaling and Digital Image Enlargement
Enables sharper image quality without jaggies even for enlarged images.
• Superior 16:9 Image
4:3 images can be converted to 16:9 images using Smart Stretch (sides stretched,
centre untouched), previously not achievable with LCD projectors.
• Intelligent Digital Keystone Correction
Smoothes out jaggies on keystone images and compresses the image not only
horizontally but vertically keeping the 4 : 3 aspect ratio, and at the same time,
calculates the aspect ratio automatically adjusting to the lens shift width.
• New Intelligent Compression
• Enhanced three-two pull down
Efficiently compresses UXGA (1,600 ⳯ 1,200) images to SXGA (1,280 ⳯ 1,024).
Converts cinema mode DVD images transformed with three-two pull down
enhancement to progressive mode images for easier viewing by Film Mode.
5. 3D Digital Uniformity and Digital Convergence
• Three-Dimensional Digital Uniformity compensates
uneven picture brightness even for pictures at any
brightness level from white to dark. And, with
Digital Convergence, a slight distortion of
convergence can be easily adjusted on the service
menu screen without having to touch the LCD
panel.
*DTV is the umbrella term used to describe the new digital television system in the united states.
