Precautions

On safety

• Check that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with the voltage of your local power supply. If voltage adaptation is required, consult with qualified Sony personnel.

• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified Sony 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 from 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.

• Be careful not to catch your fingers by the rear foot (adjustable) when you adjust the height of the unit. Do not push hard on the top of the unit with the rear foot

(adjustable) out.

• Avoid using an extension cord with a low voltage limited since it may cause the short-circuit and physical incidents.

• Do not catch your finger between the unit and surface of the floor when moving the projector installed on the floor.

• Do not carry the projector with the cabinet on and with its cover open.

• Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or humidity, mechanical vibration or shock.

• Never mount the projector on the ceiling or move it by yourself. Be sure to consult with qualified Sony personnel (charged).

• If the ventilation holes are blocked, internal heat builds up, and it may cause a fire or damage the unit. To allow adequate air circulation and prevent internal heat build-up, follow the items below:

• Leave space around the unit (page 7).

• Avoid using something to cover the ventilation holes (exhaust/intake).

• Do not place the unit on surfaces such as an original packing sheet, soft cloth, papers, rugs, or scraps of paper. The ventilation holes may take in such materials.

• Do not place any object just in front of the lens that may block the light during projection. Heat from the light may damage the object. Use the picture muting function to cut off the picture.

6

Precautions

• Do not use the Security bar for the purpose of preventing theft for transporting or installing the unit. If you lift the unit by the

Security bar or hang the unit by this bar, it may cause the unit to fall and be damaged, and may result in personal injury.

• Avoid using the unit in a location where the temperature or humidity is very high, or temperature is very low.

For dealers

• Be sure to secure the cabinet cover firmly when installing to the ceiling firmly.

• Avoid installing the unit in a location subject to direct cool or warm air from an air-conditioner. Installing in such a location may cause malfunction of the unit due to moisture condensation or rise in temperature.

On Installation

• When installing the unit, leave space between any walls, etc. and the unit as illustrated.

More than 30 cm

(11

• Avoid using if the unit is tilted more than

15 degrees horizontally.

• Avoid installing the unit in a very dusty or extremely smoky environment.

Otherwise, the air filter will become obstructed, and this may cause a malfunction of the unit or damage it.

15° 15°

Precautions

7

• When using the unit at an altitude of 1,500 m or higher, set “High Altitude Mode” to

“On” in the INSTALL SETTING menu.

Failing to set this mode when using the unit at high altitudes could have adverse effects, such as reducing the reliability of certain components.

On cleaning the lens and the cabinet

• Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning.

• If you rub on the unit with a stained cloth, the cabinet may be scratched.

• If the unit is exposed to volatile materials such as insecticide, or the unit is in contact with a rubber or vinyl resin product for a long period of time, the unit may deteriorate or the coating may come off.

• Do not touch the lens with bare hands.

• On cleaning the lens surface:

Wipe the lens gently-with a soft cloth, such as a glass cleaning cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth lightly dampened with water. Never use solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner, or acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or a chemical cleaning cloth.

• On cleaning the cabinet:

Clean the cabinet gently with a soft cloth.

Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth lightly dampened with mild detergent solution and wrung, followed by wiping with a soft dry cloth. Never use solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner, or acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or a chemical cleaning cloth.

On Illumination

To obtain the best picture, the front of the screen should not be exposed to direct lighting or sunlight.

On LCD Projector

The LCD projector is manufactured using high-precision technology. You may, however, see tiny black points and/or bright

8

Precautions points (red, blue, or green) that continuously appear on the LCD projector. This is a normal result of the manufacturing process and does not indicate a malfunction.

Also, when you use multiple LCD projectors to project onto a screen, even if they are of the same model, the color reproduction among projectors may vary, since color balance may be set differently from one projector to the next.

On Screen

When using a screen with an uneven surface, stripes pattern may rarely appear on the screen depending on the distance between the screen and the unit or the zooming magnifications. This is not a malfunction of the unit.

On Fan

Since the projector is equipped with a fan inside to prevent internal temperature from rising, there may be some noise. This is a normal result of the manufacturing process and does not indicate a malfunction. If, however, in a case of abnormal noise, consult with qualified Sony personnel.

On Lamp

The lamp used as a light source contains mercury that has high internal pressure. A high-pressure mercury lamp has the following characteristics:

• Brightness of the lamp will be lowered as the elapse of time used.

• The lamp may break with a loud noise as a result of shock, damage, or deterioration caused by the elapse of time. The lamp may become unlit and may burn out.

• The lamp life varies with individual differences or usage conditions of each lamp. Therefore, it may break or will not light even before the specified replacement time.

• It may possibly break after the replacement time has elapsed. Replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible if

a message displayed on the projected image, even if the lamp normally lights.

For carrying

This unit is precision equipment. When carrying the unit, do not subject the unit to shocks, or fall. It may damage the unit.

Projection Distance

The following describes the projection distance and height from lens center to bottom of screen by each projected screen size.

The projection distance is the distance between the center of the lens and the surface of the projected image.

Height H is the height from the bottom of the projected image (top for ceiling mount) to A

(determined by drawing a perpendicular line from lens center to projected image surface).
