I think the Sharp expects PC levels (0 - 255 vs 16 - 235), right? That's probably what's happening with your projector.

Many of the older and/or less forward thinking projector systems use the digital PC standard, rather than the digital video standard (CCIR601/ITU601). Fortunately, many of the newer projectors come with a PC/video switch to allow for the fact that the DVD format is based on the digital video standard. The HDTV format is also based on the video standard, but has a different ITU number.
