BQC-PGM10X//1
Cautions Concerning the Setup of the Projector
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. If the projector is used in these
environments, the lens will need to be cleaned more often, and
internal cleaning may become necessary. As long as the projector is
regularly cleaned, use in these environments will not reduce the
overall operation life of the unit. Internal cleaning should only be
performed by a Sharp Authorized LCD Projector Dealer or Service
Center.

Notes on Operation
• The three marks shown on the left are caution labels for parts of
the projector that emit intense heat during operation.
• The cooling fan (exhaust vent), the lamp cage cover and adjacent
areas may be extremely hot during projector operation. To prevent
injury, do not touch these areas until they have sufficiently cooled.

fan (exhaust vents) 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 until the projector has sufficiently cooled. Then turn on the
power by plugging the power cord back in. This will return the
projector to the normal operating condition.

Installation
The distance from the unit lens to the screen determines the size of the projected image. Therefore, you need to consider the
unit placement in relationship to the screen prior to making the electrical and signal connections. Appropriate screen size and
height are directly related to the unit’s position and need to be evaluated.
Tip
A non-glossy wall may be used as a substitute for a screen.
Positioning the unit
The projected image becomes larger as the distance between the unit and screen increases. The minimum image size is
about 36 inches diagonally at a distance of about 1.2 m (approx. 471/4 inches) and the maximum size is approx. 200 inches at
a distance of 6.8 m (approx. 26711/16 inches) from the screen. Use the following information when you fix the position of the unit.

Installation
Reversed Image Setup
Rear projection
• Place a translucent screen between the unit and the
audience.
• Use the unit’s menu system to reverse the projected
image. (See page 33)
Projection using a mirror
• Place a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens.
• Use the unit’s menu system to reverse the projected
image. (See page 33)
• The image reflected from the mirror is projected onto the
screen.
Optimal image quality is produced with the unit positioned perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level.
CAUTION
When using a mirror, be sure to carefully position both the unit and the mirror so the light does not shine into the eyes of the audience.
