Caution Concerning Lamp Replacement
See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 50.
This SHARP projector uses a DMD panel. This very sophisticated panel contains 786,432 (XG-
MB55X/XR-20X/XR-10X) / 480,000 (XR-20S/XR-10S) pixels (micromirrors). As with any high
technology electronic equipment such as large screen TVs, video systems and video cameras,
there are certain acceptable tolerances that the equipment must conform to.
This unit has some inactive pixels within acceptable tolerances which may result in inactive dots
on the picture screen. This will not affect the picture quality or the life expectancy of the unit.
