Precautions
On safety
• Check that the operating voltage of your
unit is identical with the voltage of your
local power supply.
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into
the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it further.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is
not to be used for several days.
• To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the
plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• The wall outlet should be near the unit and
easily accessible.
• The unit is not disconnected to the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the
unit itself has been turned off.
• Do not look into the lens while the lamp is
on.
• Do not place your hand or objects near the
ventilation holes. The air coming out is
hot.
On preventing internal heat buildup
After you turn off the power with the I/1
(ON/STANDBY) switch, do not disconnect
the unit from the wall outlet while the
cooling fan is still running.
Caution
The projector is equipped with ventilation
holes (intake) and ventilation holes
(exhaust). Do not block or place anything
near these holes, or internal heat build-up
may occur, causing picture degradation or
damage to the projector.
On repacking
Save the original shipping carton and
packing material; they will come in handy if
you ever have to ship your unit. For
maximum protection, repack your unit as it
was originally packed at the factory.

equipment. Use a cable that has acquired the
HDMI logo.
Setting the Control for HDMI
Be sure to assign the appropriate
connections for both the projector and the
Control for HDMI compatible equipment
62
connected to the projector. For settings of
the projector, see page 56. For settings of the
Control for HDMI compatible equipment
connected to the projector, refer to its
operational instructions. When equipment
that is compatible with the “Control for
HDMI - Easy Setting” is connected to the
HDMI input of the projector, if you turn the
Control for HDMI function setting of the
projector on, the Control for HDMI function
setting of the connected equipment will also
turn on.
What you can do with the
Control for HDMI
• By turning on or playing back the
connected equipment, the projector will
turn on and the input setting will switch to
the terminal of the connected equipment
automatically.
• By turning the power of the projector off,
the power of the connected equipment will
also turn off automatically.
• By changing the language setting of the
projector, the language setting of the
connected equipment will also change to
the same language automatically.
Notes
• The available functions of the Control for
HDMI differ depending on each equipment.
Refer to the operating instruction of each
equipment.
• Some synchronization may be available with
equipment of other brands with similar
functions, but it is not guaranteed.
About the x.v.Color
• “x.v.Color” is a promotion name given to
the products that have the capability to
realize a wide color space based on the
xvYCC specifications and is a trademark
of Sony Corporation.
• xvYCC is an international standard of the
technical specifications of the extendedgamut color space for video signals. The
color gamut of xvYCC is wider than the
one of sRGB that is used with the current
television system.

About the simulated
3D feature
• Use the simulated 3D function taking into
account that the picture will provide a
different look from the original images,
because this function converts the video
images.
• Note that if the projector is used for profit
or for public viewing, displaying 2D video
images as 3D video images by converting
to the simulated 3D may constitute an
infringement of the rights of authors or
producers, which are legally protected.
