Sharp XG-C50X operation manual Setting up the Screen, Throw Distance

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.)
