Viewing Stereoscopic 3D Images Precautions on Viewing Stereoscopic 3D Images Before viewing stereoscopic 3D images, please read this section carefully. WARNING ■■ Under normal conditions, viewing stereoscopic 3D images is safe for any duration that you would normally view your screen. However, some people may experience discomfort. The following precautions are recommended to minimize the potential for experiencing visual problems or any adverse symptoms.
Information on the 3D Projection Function •• To display 3D images, this projector requires: WHAT YOU WILL NEED 1) Source devices that support the field sequential format – For details on the supported signals, see the Compatibility Chart in this operation manual. 2) 3D LCD shutter glasses that support the DLP® Link™* system – Contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer for purchasing details. * DLP® Link™ is a trademark of Texas Instruments.
Viewing Stereoscopic 3D Images (Continued) 6 Using 3D Viewing Mode Use the following procedure to project 3D images. For operation of the 3D LCD shutter glasses and the 3D-video playback equipment, see the corresponding operation manual. ENTER button O/Q buttons Press 3D MODE on the remote control to display the 3D MODE menu. Info • If “An invalid button has been pressed.” is displayed, a 3D-compatible signal is not being input. Check the output signal on the playback equipment.
Maintenance Cleaning the projector ■■ Ensure that you have unplugged the power cord before cleaning the projector. ■■ The cabinet as well as the operation panel is made of plastic. Avoid using benzene or thinner, as these can damage the finish on the cabinet. ■■ Do not use volatile agents such as insecticides on the projector. Do not attach rubber or plastic items to the projector for long periods. The effects of some of the agents in the plastic may cause damage to the quality or finish of the projector.
Maintenance Indicators ■■ The warning lights (power indicator, lamp indicator and temperature warning indicator) on the projector indicate problems inside the projector. ■■ If a problem occurs, either the temperature warning indicator or the lamp indicator will illuminate red, and the projector will enter Standby mode. After the projector has entered Standby mode, follow the procedures given below.
Maintenance indicator Normal Temperature warning indicator Lamp indicator Power indicator Off Green on (Green blinks when the lamp is warming up.) Green on/ Red on Green blinks (Cooling) Abnormal Problem Cause Possible Solution • Temperatures around the projector are high. • Blocked air intake • Use the projector in an area with a temperature of lower than 95°F (+35ºC). • Relocate the projector to an area with proper ventilation. (See page 8.
Regarding the Lamp Lamp ■■ It is recommended that the lamp (sold separately) be replaced when the remaining lamp life becomes 5% or less, or when you notice a significant deterioration in the picture and color quality. The lamp life (percentage) can be checked with the on-screen display. (See page 53.) ■■ Purchase a replacement lamp of type AN-LX30LP from your place of purchase, nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center. IMPORTANT NOTE TO U.S.
Removing and Installing the Lamp Unit Warning! • Do not remove the lamp unit from the projector right after use. The lamp and parts around the lamp will be very hot and may cause burns or injury. Optional accessory Lamp unit AN-LX30LP Info • Do not touch the glass surface of the lamp unit or the inside of the projector. • To avoid injury to yourself and damage to the lamp, make sure you carefully follow the steps below. • Do not loosen other screws except for the lamp unit cover and lamp unit.
Regarding the Lamp (Continued) 4 Remove the lamp unit. 5 Insert the new lamp unit. 6 Replace the lamp unit cover. • Loosen the securing screw from the lamp unit. Hold the lamp unit and pull it in the direction of the arrow. At this time, keep the lamp unit horizontal and do not tilt it. Securing screw • Press the lamp unit firmly into the lamp unit compartment to align the lamp connectors. Fasten the securing screw. • Slide the lamp unit cover horizontally back into place and align the tabs (1).
