HIGH DEFINITION THEATER COMES HOME
With this projector, Sharp is introducing a winning combination: full High Definition resolution and the Digital Light Processing technology made by Texas Instruments. In fact, the XV-Z9000U is the worlds first front projector to use High Definition DLP single-panel architecture. DLP projectors utilize a reflective display technique that uses hundreds of thousands of tiny, fluttering mirrors to project an ultra high-resolution image. The result is pure brilliance. When you see the XV-Z9000U in action, youll agree that its images are incredibly clear, its contrast superb, and its colours absolutely true to life. This projector is compatible with 1080i and 720p HD images, and it has a native resolution of 1280 x 720. For standard video signals, Sharp has also included CV-IC, its advanced proprietary video scaling technology, to upconvert standard signals to the XV-Z9000Us native HD resolution! And 3:2 pull-down recognition guarantees an accurate reproduction of film source material.

Connections Power Supply

Connecting the Power Cord
Plug the supplied power cord into the AC socket on the back of the projector.
CAUTION Make sure the power cord is firmly connected into the AC socket.
The projector will enter the stand-by mode after turning the power off and then re-plugging the power cord into the AC socket. However, if you turned off the power by disconnecting the power cord or because of a power failure, the projector will automatically turn on without pressing the POWER ON button.
Connecting to Video Equipment
You can connect your projector to a VCR, laser disc player, DVD player, DTV* decoder and other video equipment.
* DTV is the umbrella term used to describe the new digital television system in the United States.
CAUTION Make sure to turn both the projector and the video equipment off, before connecting.
As this projector is not equipped with audio input terminals, commercially available audio equipment or your own equipment (such as speakers or amplifiers) should be used.
Connecting a video source (VCR, laser disc player, DVD player or DTV decoder) using the INPUT 3 S-VIDEO and INPUT 4 VIDEO terminals
1 Connect one end of the S-video cable (commercially available) to the INPUT 3 S-VIDEO terminal, or one end of the video cable (commercially available) to the INPUT 4 VIDEO terminal on the projector. 2 Connect the other end of the S-video cable or the video cable to the S-video output or Video output terminal of the video source. The S-video input terminal uses a video signal system where the picture is separated into a color and luminance signal to realize a higher-quality image.
For higher quality video, you may use the S-video input terminal on the projector. S-video cable is commercially available. If your video equipment does not have an S-video output terminal, use the composite video output terminal.

The backlights of the operation buttons can be turned on for five seconds and off by pressing BACKLIGHT. If you want to turn off the backlights while they are on, press BACKLIGHT again.

Projection Using a Mirror
When the distance between the projector and screen is not sufficient for normal rear projection, you can use a mirror to reflect the image onto the screen.

CAUTION When using a mirror, be sure to carefully position both the projector and the mirror so the light does not shine into the eyes of the audience.

Ceiling-mount Projection

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-CM230 ceiling-mount bracket, AN-EP101A extension tube for AN-CM230.) When the projector is in the inverted position, use the upper edge of the screen as the base line. Use the projectors menu system to select the appropriate projection mode. (See page 43 for use of this function.)

Gamma Correction Function
Gamma is an 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. Four gamma settings are available to allow for differences in the images displayed and in the brightness of the room. When you are displaying images with frequent, dark scenes, such as a film or concert, or when you are displaying images in a bright room, this feature makes the dark scenes easier to see and gives the impression of greater depth in the image.

Gamma Modes

Selected Mode STANDARD GAMMA 1 Gamma mode Standard picture without gamma correction. Brightens darker portions of images for more enhanced presentations. Gives greater depth to darker portions of images for a more exciting theater experience. Allows you to adjust gamma value using SharpVision Manager (supplied).

The CUSTOM setting of VIDEO mode optimizes the video source to reproduce the image more beautifully. It darkens bright portions of the image and gives greater depth to darker portions of the image. Select CUSTOM as your default setting if you prefer a smooth textured image to a sharply contrasted one. STANDARD and GAMMA 2 settings of VIDEO mode (except COMPONENT 480P/720P/1080i) incorporate a DYNAMIC GAMMA function for optimizing GAMMA correction frame by frame in real time, thus providing a more beautiful image.
