WARNING:
The cooling fan in this projector continues to run for about
90 seconds after the projector is turned off. During normal
operation, when turning the power off always use the
POWER OFF button on the projector or the remote
control. Ensure the cooling fan has stopped before
disconnecting the power cord.
DURING NORMAL OPERATION, NEVER TURN THE
PROJECTOR OFF BY DISCONNECTING THE POWER
CORD. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS WILL RESULT IN
PREMATURE LAMP FAILURE.

• There is an error of 

Ⳳ3% in the formula above.

• Values with a minus (

ⳮ) sign indicate the distance of the lens centre below the bottom of the screen.

Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image.
Move the projector forward or backward if the edges of the image are distorted.

• The projector lens should be centred in the middle of the screen. If the lens centre is not perpendicular to the screen, the image 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 colours, 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.

Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according
to the desired picture size (see the table below).

You can adjust the height of the image by raising the
projector with the foot release.

1 Press the foot release and lift the projector to the

desired angle. (Adjustable up to approximately
5° from the standard position.)

2 Remove your hand from the foot release. Once

the adjustment foot has locked in position, release
the projector.

3 If the screen is at an angle, the adjuster can be

used to adjust the angle of the image. (Adjustable
up to approximately 1° from the original position.)

Foot release

While holding the projector, press the foot release and slowly lower the projector to its original position.

• When an adjustment is made, the image may become distorted (keystoned), depending on the relative positions of the projector and the

screen.

• Do not press the foot release when the adjustment foot is extended without firmly holding the projector.
• Do not hold the lens when lifting or lowering the projector.
• When lowering the projector, be careful not to get your fingers caught in the area between the adjustment foot and the

projector.

• Optimal image quality can be achieved when the projector is positioned perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level.

• When the distance between the projector and 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.

• Place a translucent screen between the projector and

the audience.

• Use the projector’s menu system to reverse the

projected image. (See page 44 for use of this
function.)

• 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.

• It is recommended that you use the optional Sharp ceiling-

mount bracket for this installation.

• Before mounting the projector, contact your nearest Sharp

Authorised LCD Projector Dealer or Service Centre to obtain
the recommended ceiling-mount bracket (sold separately).
(AN-C30T ceiling-mount bracket, AN-TK201/202 extension
tube for AN-C30T.)

• When the projector is in the inverted position, use the upper

edge of the screen as the base line.

• Use the projector’s menu system to select the appropriate

projection mode. (See page 44 for use of this function.)
