If customers perform the installation described in this manual, an accident may occur, causing serious injury. Never install it by yourself. For installation, be sure to consult with a Sony dealer.
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 adjuster when you adjust the height of the unit. Do not push hard on the top of the unit with the adjuster out.
• Be sure to grasp both sides of the unit with both hands when carrying the unit.
• When you set the angle of projection to more than ±20°, read the Installation
Manual for Dealers throughly for safe installation.
On illumination
• To obtain the best picture, the front of the screen should not be exposed to direct lighting or sunlight.
• Ceiling-mounted spot lighting is recommended. Use a cover over fluorescent lamps to avoid lowering the contrast ratio.
• Cover any windows that face the screen with opaque draperies.
• It is desirable to install the unit in a room where floor and walls are not of lightreflecting material. If the floor and walls are of reflecting material, it is recommended that the carpet and wall paper be changed to a dark color.
On preventing internal heat buildup
• After you turn off the power with the I / 1 key on the control panel or on the Remote
Commander, do not disconnect the unit from the wall outlet while the cooling fan is still running.
• Do not disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet while the fan is still running. (For dealers)
Caution
The unit is equipped with ventilation holes
(intake) at the bottom and ventilation holes
(exhaust) at the rear. Do not block or place anything near these holes, or internal heat build-up may occur, causing picture degradation or damage to the unit.
On cleaning
• To keep the cabinet looking new, periodically clean it with a soft cloth.
Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner, benzene, or abrasive cleansers, since these will damage the cabinet.
• Avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens, use a soft dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth, detergent solution, or thinner.
• Clean the filter whenever you replace the lamp.
Precautions
5
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.
On LCD projector
• The LCD projector is manufactured using high-precision technology. You may, however, see tiny black points and/or bright 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.
Notes on Installation and Usage
Unsuitable Installation
Do not install the unit in the following situations. These installations may cause
malfunction or damage to the unit.
Poorly ventilated
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation holes.
• When the internal heat builds up due to the block-up, the temperature sensor will function with the message “High temp.!
Lamp off in 1 min.” The power will be turned off automatically after one minute.
• Leave space of more than 30 cm (11
7
/
8 inches) around the unit.
• Be careful that the ventilation holes may inhale tininess such as a piece of paper.
Highly heated and humid
6
Notes on Installation and Usage
• Avoid installing the unit in a location where the temperature or humidity is very high, or temperature is very low.
• To avoid moisture condensation, do not install the unit in a location where the temperature may rise rapidly.

Installing in such a location may cause malfunction of the unit due to moisture condensation or rise in temperature.
Near a heat or smoke sensor
magnifications. This is not a malfunction of the unit.
Unsuitable Conditions
Do not use the unit under the following conditions.
Do not topple the unit
Malfunction of the sensor may be caused.
Very dusty, extremely smoky
Avoid using as the unit topples over on its side. It may cause malfunction.
Do not tilt right/left
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. Dust preventing the air passing through the filter may cause a rise in the internal temperature of the unit. Clean the air filter whenever you replace the lamp.
Avoid using as the unit tilts more than 20 degrees. Do not install the unit other than on the floor or ceiling. These installations may cause malfunction.
Do not block the ventilation holes
Usage in High Altitude
When using the unit at an altitude of 1,500 m or higher, set the “Cooling Setting” to
“High” in the Setup 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.
Note on the 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
Avoid using something to cover over the ventilation holes (exhaust/intake); otherwise, the internal heat may build up.
Do not place a blocking object just in front of the lens
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 PIC MUTING key on the
Remote Commander to cut off the picture.

About the Preset Memory No.
This projector has 41 types of preset data for input signals (the preset memory). When a preset signal is input, the projector automatically detects the signal type and recalls the data for the signal from the preset memory to adjust it to an optimum picture.
The memory number and signal type of that signal are displayed on the Infomation menu
(See page 38). You can also adjust the preset
data through the Screen menu.
This projector has 20 types of user memories for Input-A into which you can save the setting of the adjusted data for an unpreset input signal.
When an unpreset signal is input for the first time, a memory number is displayed as 0.
When you adjust the data of the signal using the Screen menu, it will be registered in the projector. If more than 20 user memory items are registered, the newest memory always overwrites the oldest one.
See the chart on page 50 to find if the signal
is registered in the preset memory.
Note
When the aspect ratio of input signal is other than 4:3, a part of the screen is displayed in black.
