WARNING For the customers in Taiwan onlyGB 8 Precautions Precautions

• 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 in use.

• When turning on the projector, make sure no one is peeking at the projection lens.

• Do not let children use the unit alone.

• 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 feet (adjustable) 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 use two people to grasp both sides of the unit when carrying the unit.

• 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.

• Be careful not to catch your finger in the cooling fan.

• 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.

• If a user disassembles, repairs, or alters the unit, it may cause a serious problem to the user’s safety.

• If the projector malfunctions or is damaged, consult with a qualified Sony personnel.

• 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:

• Place the unit, leaving sufficient space from walls or any objects (page 10).

• 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. On safety9

• 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.

• 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. For dealers

• When the projector is mounted on the ceiling, a Sony bracket or recommended equivalent must be used for installation.

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

• Never mount the projector on the ceiling or move it by yourself. Be sure to consult the store where you purchased the projector or a dedicated installer.

• When installing the unit on a ceiling, be sure to use a safety wire, etc., to prevent the unit from falling. For the installation, be sure to consult the store where you purchased the projector or a dedicated installer. Caution When installing the unit at the angle illustrated, if the ventilation holes are facing down, install a metal tray (min. 40 cm × 40 cm (15

/4")) at the distance indicated below directly under the ventilation holes. Ensure that foreign materials or liquids do not drop into the ventilation holes. Safety precautions for installing the unit on a ceiling

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

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

• 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.

• Avoid installing the unit in a location near a heat or smoke sensor. Installing in such a location may cause malfunction of the sensor.

• 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.

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

• Set “Installation Attitude” on the Installation menu correctly to suit to the Installation angle. Continuing to use the wrong setting may affect component reliability.

• 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 projection window with bare hands.

• On cleaning the projection window surface: Wipe the projection window 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 Installation More than 50 cm (19

/16") More than 50 cm (19

/16") More than 50 cm (19

• 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. To obtain the best picture, the front of the screen should not be exposed to direct lighting or sunlight. The temperature of the projector cabinet may increase during or immediately after use; however, this is not a malfunction. 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. 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. Since the unit uses a laser, when performing maintenance or inspection of light source related parts, particular attention and a safe environment are necessary. Be sure to consult with qualified Sony personnel. Do not dispose the used products and general garbage together. Correctly dispose of used products to avoid harming the environment or the health of yourself and others. Follow the disposal regulations of your area. 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. 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. If the room temperature where the projector is installed changes rapidly, or if the projector is moved suddenly from a cold to a warm place, condensation in the projector may occur. As the condensation may cause malfunction, be careful in adjusting temperature settings of the air conditioner. If condensation occurs, leave the projector turned on for about two hours before use.
