This SHARP projector uses a DMD Chip. This very sophis-
ticated panel contains 921,600 pixels. As with any high tech-
nology electronic equipment such as large screen TVs, video
systems and video cameras, there are certain acceptable
tolerances that the equipment must conform to.This unit has some inactive pixels within acceptable toler-
ances which may result in inactive dots on the picture screen.
This will not affect the picture quality or the life expectancy
of the unit. If you have any questions about this matter,
please call toll free 1-877-DTV-SHARP (1-877-388-7427).

Glossary
Advanced intelligent compression
High quality resizing of lower and higher resolu-
tion images to fit the projector’s native resolution.
Aspect Ratio
Width 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 16:9 and 21:9.
Auto Sync
Optimizes projected computer images by auto-
matically adjusting certain characteristics.
Background
Initial setting image projected when no signal is
being output.
Clock
Clock 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 tem-
perature to suit the type of image input to the pro-
jector. Decrease the color temperature to create
warmer, reddish images for natural flesh tones,
or increase to create cooler, bluish images for a
brighter picture.
C.M.S.  (Color Management System)
Function allows you individually adjust the display
characteristics of six colors (R: Red, Y: Yellow, G:
Green, C: Cyan, B: Blue, M: Magenta)
Digital Shift Setting
The image can be moved vertically when the im-
age display mode is set to SMART STRETCH or
CINEMA ZOOM during input of video or DTV sig-
nals.
Dot by dot
Mode that projects images in their native resolution.
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.
IP Mode
The progressive display projects a smoother video
image. You can select three different modes: 2D
Progressive, 3D Progressive and Film Mode.
Keystone correction
Function to digitally correct a distorted image when
the projector is set up at an angle, smoothens out
jaggies on keystone images and compresses the
image not only horizontally but vertically keeping
the 4:3 aspect ratio.
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.
Resize
Allows you to modify or customize the picture dis-
play mode to enhance the input image. You can
select six different modes: SIDE BAR, SMART
STRETCH, CINEMA ZOOM, STRETCH, DOT BY
DOT or NORMAL.
Smart Stretch
Mode that stretches the right and left sides of the
4:3 image horizontally while maintaining the as-
pect ratio around the center of the image to dis-
play it on the WIDE screen.
Stretch
Mode that stretches the 4:3 image horizontally to
display it fully on a 16:9 screen.
