SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 3A fuse. Should
the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked
or
and of the same rating
as 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.
ASA
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

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.

Cautions Concerning the Setup of the Projector
+35˚C
+5˚C
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 and
part of filter must be cleaned more often than usual. As long as the projector
is properly maintained in this manner, use in these environments will not reduce
the overall operation life. Please note that all internal cleaning must be
performed by a Sharp Authorised Projector Dealer or Service Centre.
• Do not expose the projector to extreme heat or cold.
Operating temperature: +5°C to +35°C
Storage temperature: –20°C to +60°C
Notes on Operation
• The exhaust ventilative hole, the lamp cage cover and adjacent areas may
get extremely hot during projector operation. To prevent injury, do not touch
these areas until they have sufficiently cooled down.
• Allow at least 30 cm of space between the exhaust ventilative hole 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.
WARNING:
High brightness light source. Do not stare into the beam of light, or view directly. Be especially careful that
children do not stare directly into the beam of light.

Adjusting the Projection Distance
Upper and Lower Lens Shift Position
• This projector is equipped with a lens shift function that lets you adjust the projection height.
• Adjust it to match the setup configuration.
• The screen can be moved maximum the length of one screen vertically using the lens shift.
• 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.

Image Projection
Rear Projection
Setup & Connections
• Place a translucent screen between the projector and
the audience.
• Use the projector’s menu screen to reverse the
projected image. (See page 42 for use of this
function.)
• Optimal image quality can be achieved when the projector
is positioned perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat
and leveled.
Projection Using a Mirror
• When the distance between the projector and a
screen is not sufficient for normal rear projection, you
can use a mirror to reflect the image onto the screen.
• Place a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens.
• Project the normal image onto the mirror.
• The image reflected from the mirror is projected onto
the translucent screen.
CAUTION
• 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 Projection
• It is recommended that you use the optional Sharp
ceiling-mount bracket for this installation.
• Before mounting the projector, remove the Swivel
Stand. (See page 17 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 projection mode. (See page 42 for use
of this function.)

Glossary
Aspect ratio
Width and height ratio of an image. The normal aspect ratio of a computer and video image is 4 : 3. There are also wide images with an aspect ratio of 16 : 9
and 21 : 9.
Auto Sync
Optimises projected computer images by automatically adjusting certain characteristics.
Background
Initial setting image projected when no signal is being input.
Clock
Clock adjustment is used to adjust vertical noise when clock level is incorrect.
CLR Temp (Colour temperature)
Function that can be used to adjust the colour temperature to suit the type of image input to the projector. Decrease the colour temperature to create warmer,
reddish images for natural flesh tones, or increase to create cooler, bluish images for a brighter picture.
Composite sync
Signal combining horizontal and vertical sync pulses.
Digital keystone correction
Function to digitally correct a distorted image when the projector is set up at an angle, smoothes out jaggies on keystone images and compresses the image
not only horizontally but vertically keeping the 4 : 3 aspect ratio.
Digital shift
Shifts image up or down easily by
inputs.
/
buttons when RESIZE mode of input image is NORMAL, BORDER, or STRETCH of COMPUTER, VIDEO and DTV
GAMMA
Image quality enhancement function that offers a richer image by brightening the darker portions of the image without altering the brightness of the brighter
portions. You can select from four different modes: Standard, Black Detail, White Detail and Brighten.
Intelligent compression and expansion
High quality resizing of lower and higher resolution images to fit the projector’s native resolution.
Phase
Phase shift is a timing shift between isomorphic signals with the same resolution. When phase level is incorrect, the projected image typically displays horizontal
flicker.
RESIZE
Allows you to modify or customize the picture display mode to enhance the input image. You can select from four different modes: NORMAL, FULL, BORDER
and STRETCH.
RS-232C
Function to control the projector from the computer by using the RS-232C ports on the projector and computer.
Stretch
Mode that stretches the 4:3 image horizontally to display it on the wide screen.
Sync on green
Appendix
Video signal mode of a computer which overlaps horizontal and vertical sync signal to green colour signal pin.
