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.
WARNING ■ The following people should limit stereoscopic 3D viewing: – Children under 6 years of age (to protect the eye growth process) – People with a history of photosensitivity – People with heart disease – People in poor health – People who are sleep deprived – People who are physically tired – People under the influence of drugs or alcohol ■ Epilepsy A small percentage of the population may experience epileptic seizures when viewing certain types of images that contain flashing patterns of light.
Viewing Stereoscopic 3D Images (Continued) 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.
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. 7 Press P or R to select “DLP® Link™”, and then select “On”. 8 Select “DLP® Link™ Invert”, and then press (ENTER) to switch the mode and enable more natural 3D image viewing.
Viewing Stereoscopic 3D Images (Continued) Appendix ■ How the 3D Projection Function (DLP Link™ ) Works The 3D projection function of this projector is compatible with the DLP® Link™ system. To watch 3D images, you use a pair of 3D LCD shutter glasses that alternately display the projected images for the left and right eyes and are synchronized with a control (light) signal.
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.
Cleaning and Replacing the Dust Filters When the message shown below is displayed, clean or replace the three dust filters and then reset the filter timer (see page 55). You must clean or replace all three dust filters at the same time to synchronize the filter timer. Clean The Filter. Cleaning the Dust Filters Use a vacuum cleaner to clean dust from the exhaust vent and the intake vent (bottom, side and rear). Info • The dust filters should be cleaned every 100 hours of use.
2 Remove the filter covers. • Remove the filter covers towards the direction of the arrow. Front Side Rear 3 Pick the dust filters up and lift them out of all the three filter covers as shown in the figures. 4 Place replacement dust filters and press them down firmly. 5 Replace the filter covers. • Insert the filter covers and push them gently as shown in the figure.
Maintenance Indicators ■ The warning lights (POWER indicator, TEMP. (temperature warning)/STATUS indicator and LAMP indicator) on the projector indicate problems inside the projector. ■ If a problem occurs, either the TEMP. (temperature warning)/STATUS 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. Top View LAMP (1, 2) indicators TEMP.
Maintenance indicator Normal TEMP.
