Précautions. 14

Aperçu 15

• 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.
• 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.

Caution

Installation when setting the angle of projection to more than ± 20^

When you set the angle of projection to more than ± 20^ , place a metal tray measuring more than 60~cm × 30~cm at a distance of 30~cm to 50~cm directly below the exhaust vent. Also, take care that no material or water drops fall into the opening of the exhaust vent.

CAUTION

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.

When you dispose of the battery, you must obey the law in the relative area or country.

On installation

• When the projector is mounted on the ceiling, the Sony PSS-610 Projector Suspension Support must be used for installation.
• 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. Leave space of more than 30cm (11^7 / 8 inches) between the wall and the projector. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that the temperature near the installation location is not excessive.
• Install the projector on the floor or ceiling. Any other installation causes a mulfunction such as color irregularity or shortening lamp life.
• 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.
• To avoid moisture condensation, do not install the unit in a location where the temperature may rise rapidly.
• Be sure to secure the cabinet cover firmly when installing to the ceiling firmly.

Warning

For customers who purchase this unit

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.

For dealers

Please read this Installation Manual thoroughly 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 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

The projector 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 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.

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.

Overview

This manual describes how to install the Sony Data Projection VPL-FE40/FE40L/FX40/FX40L/FX41/ FX41L/FW41/FW41L, how to replace the lens, and installation diagrams. When you replace the lens, also refer to the Operating Instructions.

Replacing the Lens

You can install the following types of optional lenses in the projector:

VPLL-1008 Fixed Short Focus Lens
VPLL-Z1014 Short Focus Zoom Lens
VPLL-Z1024 Middle Focus Zoom Lens
VPLL-Z1032 Long Focus Zoom Lens

Follow the steps below to replace each lens: VPL-FE40/FX40/FX41/FW41 (equipped with standard lens): steps 1 to 5 and, steps 7 to 9 VPL-FE40L/FX40L/FX41L/FW41L (lens optional): steps 1 to 4, and steps 6 to 9

For details on replacing the lens, also refer to the installation manual supplied with the lens.

1 Turn off the power and disconnect the power cable.
2 Remove the front panel following the steps below. ①Insert the panel remover from the right side of the front panel as the illustration. Then slide the panel remover toward left pinching the front panel.

② Pinch the right side of the front panel firmly with the panel remover and slide it until it stops (position in which the edge of the front panel is seen from the hole of the panel remover). Then pull up the panel remover. The right side of the front panel is removed.

3 Remove the left half of the front panel in the same step, and pick up the front panel. The front panel is connected to the main unit with a wire for safety.

4 Move the lens fixing lever to the lens, then lift it up.

Note

Lift up the lens fixing lever correctly. Otherwise you cannot remove the lens.

5 Withdraw the lens straight forward.

Note

Use both hands to withdraw the lens.

6 Remove the lens hole cover of VPL-FE40L/ FX40L/FX41L/FW41L.
7 Remove two lens caps and the lens connector cover from the replacement lens. Adjust the lens so that the motor section faces up as in illustration ,and check that the cushion around the lens is positioned as in illustration b. Then insert the lens straight in the direction of the arrow.

Notes

• If the cushion is not positioned as in illustration b, rotate it by hand. In this case, take care that the cushion does not come off the groove of the lens.
• Change the lens carefully so as not to damage the lens glass with the lever or other parts.

8 Move the lens fixing lever down to the bottom correctly.

If the lens fixing lever does not move down, the lens may not be fully inserted. Insert it again and move the lens fixing lever down to the bottom correctly.

Note

If the lens does not go in fully, turn the lens slightly right and left slightly.

9 Insert the tab on the rear of the front panel and the plug-in part into the main unit, then hold down the panel so it locks with a click.

Notes

• Take care not to allow the safety wire to protrude.
• After fitting the left and right front panels, check that the top of the front panel does not lift up or protrude from the main unit.

Note on changing lenses

Do not touch the surface of the lens.

Note

When you use the VPLL-1008, do so in the range between +90^ and -90^ (when the lower parts of the lens is a plus) on the basis of installing the VPL-FE40/ FX40/FX41/FW41 horizontally on the floor.

For Dealer

The VPLL-1008 is the lens for rear projection (optical axis angle: 0 degree). When using the VPLL-1008, you should install the projector with the center of the lens aligned with the center of the screen in the horizontal/vertical direction. If you do not do so, a portion of the picture may be invisible.

Also, after installing the lens, we recommend to set "Lens Control" in the Installation menu to "Off".
