Sharp XV-Z9000U SMART Calibration

"As to the filter, since your gains are all pretty similar, and the colors are balanced, no filter is called for. What you might try is really boosting the contrast and do a SMART run (high IRE levels only, if you wish). All colors should flatten out, but one, red, may do so before the others. If so, then red is indeed limiting and a red filter may help." -- Steve Smallcombe
Turned contrast up from -22 to 0 and here is the result. Red flattened out earlier.
Steve looked over my SMART spreadsheet and said I could try a CC20R filter. He said the improved contrast may not be worth the loss of brightness (the Sharp is dim compared to the Sony and Sanyo LCD projectors), but it's worth a try.
Got a 4" x 4" CC20R Optiflex Color Correcting Filter from Steve at Enhanced HT.
Used two small pieces of electrical tape to attach the filter to the Sharp's focus ring.
Did not perform another detector calibration run.
Set all three service menu gains to their maximums: 150.
Did several SMART calibration runs with the filter on. Using the Red, Blue, and CLR Temp regular menu controls to make adjustments, I arrived at an acceptable color balance.
Did several more SMART calibration runs with the filter on. This time, leaving the Red and Blue regular menu controls at their pre-filter settings (+1 and -2) and using the CLR Temp and service menu gain controls to make adjustments. Arrived at an acceptable color balance again.

When CLR Temp is 0 and Green gain is 150 (its maximum), the projector is putting out as much Green as it can. Increasing CLR Temp to +3 (its maximum) only adds Blue, not Green. My Green resistance measurements were the same with CLR Temp at 0 and +3.
Increasing CLR Temp to +3 only meant that I had to lower Blue to achieve color balance. Even with the filter, the Sharp has plenty of Blue to give, so there's no reason to crank CLR Temp. The trick is getting Red and Green in balance, and Green is at its maximum with CLR Temp at 0.
Blue increases more than Green as CLR Temp goes up from -3 to 0.

When the projector was putting out maximum Green during the calibration, SMART was still asking me to increase Green. This indicated that the filter was filtering out more Green than necessary, making Green the limiting color. Because I couldn't increase Green anymore, I had to lower Red.
Unlike my pre-filter calibration, Color and Tint had to be adjusted.
