your projector. Caution concerning the lamp unit I Potential hazard of glass particles if lamp ruptures. In case of lamp rupture, con- tact your nearest Sharp Authorised Pro- jector Dealer or Service Centre for a re- placement. See “Replacing the Lamp” on page 54. Caution concerning the setup of the projector I 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 man- ner, 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 set up the projector in places exposed to direct sunlight or bright light. I Position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly on the screen washes out the colours, making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room. The projector may be safely tilted to a maximum angle of 12 degrees. I Placement should be within ±12 degrees of horizontal. Do not subject the projector to hard impact and/or vibration. I Take care with the lens so as not to hit or damage the surface of the lens. Do not mount the projector on a ceiling by turning it over. I Use the lens shift feature when projecting the image from a high position. Rest your eyes occasionally. I Continuously watching the screen for long hours will cause eye strain. Be sure to occasionally rest your eyes. Avoid locations with extremes of temperature. I The operating temperature of the projector is from +5°C to +35°C. I The storage temperature of the projector is from –20°C to +60°C. Do not block the exhaust and intake vents. I Allow at least 20 cm of space between the exhaust vent and the nearest wall or obstruction. I Be sure that the intake vent and the exhaust vent are not obstructed. I If the cooling fan becomes obstructed, a protection circuit will automatically put the projector into the standby mode. This does not indicate a malfunction. Remove the projec- tor power cord from the wall outlet and wait at least 10 minutes. Place the projector where the intake and exhaust vents are not blocked, plug the power cord back in and turn on the projector. This will return the projector to the normal operating condition. Caution regarding transportation of the projector I When transporting the projector, be sure not to subject it to hard impact and/or vibration, as this can result in dam- age. Take extra care with the lens. Before moving the pro- jector, be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall out- let, and disconnect any other cables connected to it. I Do not carry the projector by holding the lens. I When transporting the projector, be sure to attach the lens shipping block and the lens cap to the projector. Other connected equipment I When connecting a computer or other audio-visual equip- ment to the projector, make the connections AFTER un- plugging the power cord of the projector from the wall out- let and turning off the equipment to be connected. I Please read the operation manuals of the projector and the equipment to be connected for instructions on how to make the connections. Using the projector in other countries I The power supply voltage and the shape of the plug may vary depending on the region or country you are using the projector in. When using the projector overseas, be sure to use an appropriate power cord for the country you are in. Temperature monitor function I If the projector starts to overheat due to setup problems or blockage of the air vents, “ ” and “ ” will illuminate in the lower left corner of the picture. If the temperature con- tinues to rise, the lamp will turn off, the temperature warn- ing indicator on the projector will blink, and after a 90-sec- ond cooling-off period the projector will enter the standby mode. Refer to “Maintenance Indicators” on page 52 for details. Info • The cooling fan regulates the internal temperature, and its performance is automatically controlled. The sound of the fan may change during projector operation due to changes in the fan speed. This does not indicate malfunction. • Do not unplug the power cord during projection or cooling fan operation. This can cause damage due to rise in inter- nal temperature, as the cooling fan also stops. BQC-PGB10S//1 12° XV Z10E E p01 07.p65 03.11.7, 4:13 PM 7

feet) to achieve an optimal image. Setting up the Screen Note • The projector lens should be centred in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through the lens centre is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult. • For an optimal image, position the screen so that it is not in direct sunlight or room light. Light falling directly on the screen washes out the colours, making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights when setting up the screen in a sunny or bright room. • A polarising screen cannot be used with this projector. Standard Setup (Front Projection) I Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size. (See page 17.) •The distance from the screen to the projector may vary depending on the size of the screen.

comes 5% or less, or when you notice a significant deterioration in the picture and colour quality. The lamp life (percentage) can be checked with the on-screen display. See page 47. I For lamp replacement, please consult your nearest Sharp Authorised Projector Dealer or Service Centre. Caution Concerning the Lamp I This projector utilises a pressurised mercury lamp. A loud sound may indicate lamp failure. Lamp failure can be attributed to numerous sources such as: excessive shock, improper cooling, surface scratches or deterioration of the lamp due to a lapse of usage time. The period of time up to failure largely varies depending on the individual lamp and/or the condition and the frequency of use. It is important to note that failure can often result in the bulb cracking. I When the lamp indicator and on-screen display icon are illuminated, it is recommended that the lamp be replaced with a new one immediately, even if the lamp appears to be operating normally. I Should the lamp break, the glass particles may spread inside the lamp cage or gas contained in the lamp may be vented into the room from the exhaust vent. Because the gas in this lamp includes mercury, ventilate the room well if the lamp breaks and avoid all exposure to the released gas. In case of exposure to the gas, consult a doctor as soon as possible. I Should the lamp break, there is also a possibility that glass particles may spread inside of the projector. In such a case, it is recommended you contact your nearest Sharp Authorised Projector Dealer or Service Centre to remove the damaged lamp and assure safe operation. Replacing the Lamp Caution • Do not remove the lamp unit immediately after operation of the projector. The lamp will be hot and touching it can lead to burn or injury. • Wait at least one hour after the power cord is disconnected to allow the surface of the lamp unit to fully cool before removing the lamp unit. I If the new lamp does not light after replacement, take your projector to the nearest Sharp Authorised Projector Dealer or Service Centre for repair. Purchase a replacement lamp unit of type BQC-PGB10S//1 from your nearest Sharp Authorised Projector Dealer or Service Centre. Then carefully change the lamp by following the instructions described in this section. If you wish, you may have the lamp replaced at your nearest Sharp Authorised Projector Dealer or Service Centre. Regarding the Lamp XV Z10E E p52 62.p65 03.11.7, 4:19 PM 54

I Be sure to unplug the power cord before cleaning the projector. I The cabinet as well as the operation panel is made of plastic. Avoid using benzene or thinner, as these can damage the finish on the cabinet. I Do not use volatile agents such as insecticides on the projector. Do not attach rubber or plastic items to the projec- tor for a long time. The effects of some of the agents in the plastic may cause damage to the quality or finish of the projector. I Wipe off dirt gently with a soft flannel cloth. I When the dirt is hard to remove, soak a cloth in a mild detergent diluted with water, wring the cloth well and then wipe the projector. Strong cleaning detergents may discolour, warp or damage the coating on the projector. Make sure to test on a small, inconspicuous area on the projector before use. Maintenance Wax Thinner Mild detergent diluted with water Mild detergent Cleaning Paper Cleaning the lens I Use a commercially available blower or lens clean- ing paper (for glasses and camera lenses) for clean- ing the lens. Do not use any liquid type cleaning agents, as they may wear off the coating film on the surface of the lens. I As the surface of the lens can easily get damaged, be sure not to scrape or hit the lens. Cleaning the exhaust and intake vents I Use a vacuum cleaner to clean dust from the ex- haust vent and the intake vent. XV Z10E E p52 62.p65 03.11.7, 4:19 PM 60

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 auto- matically adjusting certain characteristics. Background Initial setting image projected when no signal is being output. CINEMA ZOOM Mode that cuts out the top/bottom blank bands and projects a wide screen image. 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 tem- perature to suit the type of image input to the pro- jector. Decrease the colour temperature to create warmer, reddish images for natural flesh tones, or increase to create cooler, bluish images for a brighter picture. 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 four different modes: Standard, Cinema1, Cinema2 and Brighten. Keystone Correction Function to digitally correct a distorted image when the projector is set up at an angle. Lens shift Function to adjust the position of the projection image by using the lens shift lever to move the lens from side to side and up and down (360°). 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. RS-232C terminal Controls the projector from the computer. Resize Allows you to modify or customize the picture dis- play mode to enhance the input image. You can select three different modes: STRETCH, SIDE BAR and CINEMA ZOOM. STRETCH Mode that displays the image fully on a 16:9 screen. XV Z10E E p63 71.p65 03.11.7, 4:19 PM 67
