Adjusting the Projection DistancePosition 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, theimage will be distorted, 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 thescreen according to the desired screen size. (See thetables below.) The figures in the tables are basedupon projecting an image so that it occupies theentire screen.
The formula 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

This SHARP projector uses a DMD chip. This very sophisticated chipcontains 921,600 pixels. As with any high technology electronicequipment such as large screen TVs, video systems and videocameras, there are certain acceptable tolerances that the equipmentmust conform to.
This unit has some inactive pixels within acceptable tolerances whichmay result in inactive dots on the picture screen. This will not affectthe picture quality or the life expectancy of the unit. If you have anyquestions about this matter, please call toll free 1-877-DTV-SHARP(1-877-388-7427). U.S.A. ONLY

Glossary
Aspect ratioWidth 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 : 9and 21 : 9.
Auto SyncOptimizes projected computer images by automatically adjusting certain characteristics.
BackgroundInitial setting image projected when no signal is being input.
Cinema zoomMode that projects the 16:9 image which uses the center of the image signal on the full-screen.
ClockClock adjustment is used to adjust vertical noise when clock level is incorrect.
CLR Temp (Color temperature)Function that can be used to adjust the color temperature to suit the type of image input to the projector. Decrease the color temperature to create warmer,reddish images for natural flesh tones, or increase to create cooler, bluish images for a brighter picture.
Composite syncSignal combining horizontal and vertical sync pulses.
Digital keystone correctionFunction to digitally correct a distorted image when the projector is set up at an angle, smoothes out jaggies on keystone images and compresses the imagenot only horizontally but vertically keeping the 4 : 3 aspect ratio.
Digital shiftShifts image up or down easily by / buttons when RESIZE mode of input image is SMART STRETCH, CINEMA ZOOM, or DOT BY DOT of COMPUTER,VIDEO and DTV inputs.
Dot by dotMode that projects images in their native resolution.
GAMMAImage quality enhancement function that offers a richer image by brightening the darker portions of the image without altering the brightness of the brighterportions. You can select four different modes : STANDARD, GAMMA 1, GAMMA 2 and CUSTOM.
Intelligent compression and expansionHigh quality resizing of lower and higher resolution images to fit the projector’s native resolution.
Lens shiftThe lens can be easily raised and lowered to minimize or eliminate “Keystone” type effect.
PhasePhase shift is a timing shift between isomorphic signals with the same resolution. When phase level is incorrect, the projected image typically displays horizontalflicker.
Progressive ModeThe progressive display projects a smoother video image. You can select three different modes : 2D Progressive, 3D Progressive and Film Mode.
RESIZEAllows you to modify or customize the picture display mode to enhance the input image. You can select six different modes: SIDE BAR, SMART STRETCH,CINEMA ZOOM, STRETCH, NORMAL, and DOT BY DOT.
RS-232CFunction to control the projector from the computer by using the RS-232C ports on the projector and computer.
Side barMode that projects the normal 4:3 image at the 4:3 area for the center of the screen.
Smart StretchMode that stretches the right and left sides of the 4:3 image horizontally while maintaining the aspect ratio around the center of the image to display it on the WIDEscreen.
Status functionDisplays the settings of each adjustment item.
StretchMode that stretches the 4:3 image horizontally to display it on the WIDE screen.
Sync on greenVideo signal mode of a computer which overlaps horizontal and vertical sync signal to green color signal pin.
3D DNR (3D Digital Noise Reduction)Provides high quality images with minimal background.
