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 aim the laser at people and do not look into the laser transmitter.
• Do not place your hand or objects near the ventilation holes — the air coming out is hot.
• Be careful not to catch your fingers with the adjusters when you lift up the projector. Do not push hard on the top of the projector with the adjusters out.
• Be sure to grasp both sides when carrying the projector.

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 projector in a room where floor and walls are not of light-reflecting 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 build-up

After you turn off the power with the I / key on the Remote Commander or on the control panel, 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) on the bottom and ventilation holes (exhaust) on the front. 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 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 at regular intervals, every 300 hours.

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.

About the LCD projector

Notes for Installation

Unsuitable Installation

Do not install the projector in the following situations. These installations may cause malfunction or damage to the projector.

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 internal heat builds up due to blockage of the ventilation holes, the temperature sensor may function, a warning message will be displayed, and the power may be turned off automatically after one minute.
• Leave space of more than 50~cm ( 19^3/4 inches) around the unit.
• Be careful that the ventilation holes do not inhale tiny objects such as pieces of paper.

Highly heated and humid

• Avoid installing the unit in a location where the temperature or humidity is very high, or the temperature is very low.
• To avoid moisture condensation, do not install the unit in a location where the temperature may rise rapidly.

Very dusty

Avoid installing the unit in a location where there is a lot of dust; otherwise, the air filter will clog. The dust blocking the air through the filter may cause the internal heat level of the projector to rise. Clean the filter periodically.

Unsuitable Conditions for Use

Do not do any of the following.

Toppling the unit

Avoid standing the unit on its side as the unit may topple over. This may cause a malfunction.

Tilting the unit more than 15 degrees

Avoid tilting the unit at an angle of more than 15 degrees. Installation of the unit in this manner may cause a malfunction.

Blocking the ventilation holes

Avoid using something that covers over the ventilation holes (exhaust/intake); otherwise, the internal heat level may build up.

Removing the adjusters

Avoid using the unit with the adjusters removed. Blocking the ventilation holes (intake) may cause internal heat build-up.

Maintenance

Notes

• If the lamp breaks, consult with qualified Sony personnel.
• Pull out the lamp unit by holding the handle. If you touch the lamp unit, you may be burned or injured.
• When removing the lamp unit, make sure it remains horizontal, then pull straight up. Do not tilt the lamp unit. If you pull out the lamp unit while it is tilted and if the lamp breaks, the pieces may scatter, causing injury.

Replacing the Lamp

When the lamp has burnt out or dims, or "Please replace the LAMP." appears on the screen, replace the lamp with a new one. The lamp life varies depending on conditions of use. The message appears after 1500 hours of use.

Use an LMP-P202 Projector Lamp as the replacement lamp.

When replacing the lamp after using the projector

Turn off the projector, then unplug the power cord.

Wait for at least an hour for the lamp to cool.

Note

The lamp remains at a high temperature after you turn off the projector with the I/ key. If you touch the lamp, you may burn your finger. When you replace the lamp, wait for at least an hour for the lamp to cool.

1 Place a protective sheet (cloth) beneath the projector. Hold the projector handle and place the projector face down.

Note

When replacing the lamp, be sure the projector is on a flat and stable surface.

2 Slide open the lamp cover after loosening its screw with a Phillips screwdriver.

3 Loosen the screws on the lamp unit with the Phillips screwdriver.

4 While holding the handle and keeping the lamp unit horizontal, pull straight up.

5 Insert the new lamp all the way in until it is securely in place. Tighten the two screws. Fold down the handle.

Notes

• Be careful not to touch the glass surface of the lamp.
• The power will not turn on if the lamp is not secured properly.

6 Close the lamp cover and tighten the screw.
7 Turn the projector back over.
8 Connect the power cord and turn the projector to the standby mode.
9 Press the following keys on the control panel in the following order for less than five seconds each: RESET, , ENTER.

Notes

• Be sure to use an LMP-P202 Projector Lamp for replacement. If you use lamps other than the LMP-P202, the projector may malfunction.
• Be sure to turn off the projector and unplug the power cord before replacing the lamp.
• Do not put your hands into the lamp replacement socket, and do not allow any liquid or objects to fall into it to avoid electrical shock or fire.

Disposal of the used lamp

As the used lamp contains Mercury, dispose of the lamp according to local, state or federal laws.

As the materials used in this lamp are similar to those of a fluorescent lamp, you should dispose of a used projector lamp in the same way as a fluorescent lamp.

Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filter should be cleaned every 300 hours.

When it becomes difficult to remove the dust from the filter, replace the filter with a new one.

To clean the air filter, follow the steps below:

1 Turn off the power and unplug the power cord.
2 Remove the air filter cover at the bottom of the projector.

3 Remove the air filter.

4 Wash the air filter with a mild detergent solution and dry it in a shaded place.

5 Hook the air filter on the holders of the air filter cover, then set the filter and replace the cover.

Notes

• If the dust cannot be removed from the air filter, replace the air filter with the supplied new one.
• Be sure to attach the air filter cover firmly; the power cannot be turned on if it is not closed securely.
• Place the air filter so that it fits in a notch on the air filter cover.

To clean the ventilation holes

When you clean the air filter, clean the ventilation holes (intake, rear and bottom) also. Remove the dust from the outside of the ventilation holes with a vacuum cleaner.
