Using the Adjustment
Feet
The height of the projector can be adjusted
using the adjustment feet at the front and back
of the projector when the surface the projec-
tor is placed on is uneven or when the screen
is slanted.
The projection of the image can be made
higher by adjusting the projector when it is in
a location lower than the screen.
1Press HEIGHT ADJUST.
2Lift the projector to adjust its
height and remove your finger
from HEIGHT ADJUST.
3Rotate the adjustment feet at
the back of the projector for
fine adjustment.
Note
•When returning the projector to its original
position, hold the projector firmly, press
HEIGHT ADJUST and then gently lower it.
•The projector is adjustable up to approxi-
mately 12 degrees on the front and 3
degrees on the back from the standard po-
sition.
Info
•Do not press HEIGHT ADJUST when the
adjustment foot is extended without firmly
holding the projector.
•Do not hold the lens when lifting or lower-
ing the projector.
•When lowering the projector, be careful
not to get your finger caught in the area
between the adjustment foot and the
projector.

Example of Standard Setup
Setting up the Screen
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen with all feet flat and level to achieve an optimal image.
Note
•The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through the
lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.
•For 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 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.
An optional lens (AN-C12MZ) from Sharp is also available for specialized application. Contact your local Sharp
Authorized Projector Dealer for details on the lens. (Refer to the lens installation manual when attaching a lens.)

•The distance from the screen to the projector
may vary depending on the size of the screen.

•The default setting can be used, when placing the
projector in front of the screen. If the projected im-
age is reversed or inverted, readjust the setting to
“Front” in “PRJ Mode”.P. 7 1
•Place the projector so that an imaginary horizontal
line that passes through the center of the lens is
perpendicular to the screen.

Projecting a Reversed/Inverted Image
Projection from behind the screen

Place a translucent screen between the projector and the au-
dience.

Reverse the image by setting “Rear” in “PRJ Mode”. See
page 71 for use of this function.
Projection using a mirror

Place a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens.

Reverse the image by setting “Rear” in “PRJ Mode”, when the
mirror is placed on the audience side. See page 71 for use of
this function.
Info
•When using a mirror, be sure to carefully position both the pro-
jector and the mirror so the light does not shine into the eyes of
the audience.
Ceiling-mount setup

It is recommended that you use the optional Sharp ceiling-mount
bracket for this installation.
Before mounting the projector, contact your nearest Sharp
Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center to obtain the
recommended ceiling-mount bracket (sold separately.) (AN-
XGCM55 ceiling-mount bracket, its AN-EP101B extension tube
and AN-JT200 universal bracket, adaptor for non-level ceiling
installation (for U.S.A.), BB-M20T ceiling adaptor, its BB-
NVHOLDER280, BB-NVHOLDER550, BB-NVHOLDER900
ceiling mount systems (for GERMANY), or AN-60KT ceiling-
mount bracket, its AN-TK301/AN-TK201 and AN-TK302/AN-
TK202 extension tubes (for countries other than the U.S.A. and
GERMANY))

Be sure to adjust the position of the pro-
jector to match the distance (H) from
the lens center position (see page 30)
to the lower edge of the image, when
mounting the projector on the ceiling.

Invert the image by setting
“Ceiling + Front” in “PRJ
Mode”. See page 71 for use
of this function.
