• 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. 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. 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. On cleaning the lens and the cabinet On Illumination On Heat Dissipation On Screen On Fan On LampGB 8 Precautions This unit is precision equipment. When carrying the unit, do not subject the unit to shocks, or fall. It may damage the unit. 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.
