IntroductionUsing the Remote Control
Inserting the Batteries
1Pull down the tab on the cover
and remove the cover towards
the direction of the arrow.
2Insert the included batteries
(two “AA” size).
•Insert the batteries making sure the po-
larities correctly match the 
 and 
marks inside the battery compartment.
3Insert the lower tab of the cover
into the opening, and lower the
cover until it clicks in place.
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to leak or explode. Please follow the precautions below.
 Caution
•Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match the  and  marks inside the battery compartment.
•Batteries of different types have different properties, therefore do not mix batteries of different types.
•Do not mix new and old batteries.
This may shorten the life of new batteries or may cause old batteries to leak.
•Remove the batteries from the remote control once they have run out, as leaving them in can cause them to leak.
Battery fluid from leaked batteries is harmful to skin, therefore ensure to first wipe them and then remove them using a cloth.
•The batteries included with this projector may run down in a short period, depending on how they are kept.
Ensure to replace them as soon as possible with new batteries.
Usable Range
The remote control can be used to control the
projector within the ranges shown in the
illustration.
Note
•The signal from the remote control can be re-
flected off a screen for easy operation. How-
ever, the effective distance of the signal may
differ depending on the screen material.
When using the remote control:
•Ensure not to drop, expose to moisture or high
temperature.
•The remote control may malfunction under a
fluorescent lamp. In this case, move the pro-
jector away from the fluorescent lamp.

Setting Up the Projector
Position the projector perpendicular to the screen 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 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 colors, making viewing difficult. Close the curtains and dim the lights
when setting up the projector in a sunny or bright room.
Standard Setup (Front Projection)
■Place the projector at the required distance from the screen according to the desired picture size. (See
page 17.)

Setting Up the Projector
Projecting a Reversed Image
Projection from behind the Screen
■Place a translucent screen between the projector and the audience.
■Reverse the image by setting “Rear” in the “PRJ Mode” menu. (See page 52.)
Projection Using a Mirror
■Place a mirror (normal flat type) in front of the lens.
■When the translucent screen is placed between the mirror and audience, set to “Front” in the “PRJ Mode”
menu. (See page 52.)
■When the mirror is placed on the audience side, set to “Rear” in the “PRJ Mode” menu. (See page 52.)
Info
•When using a mirror, ensure to carefully position both the projector 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 Authorized
SharpVision Service Center or Dealer to obtain the recommended
ceiling-mount bracket (commercially available). (AN-CM270 ceil-
ing-mount bracket, AN-EP101B extension tube for AN-CM270.)
■Invert the image by setting “Ceiling + Front” in “PRJ Mode”. See
page 52 for use of this function.Translucent screen
