注意

• 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 (exhaust) — 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.

On illumination

• To obtain the best picture, the front of the screen should not be exposed to direct lighting or sunlight.
• 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 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 unit is equipped with ventilation holes (intake) at the bottom and ventilation holes (exhaust) at the side. 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

Before cleaning

Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet.

On cleaning the air filter

• Clean the air filter whenever you replace the lamp.
  Refer to the "Cleaning the Air Filter" for the air filter cleaning.

On cleaning the lens

The lens surface is especially treated to reduce reflection of light.

As incorrect maintenance may impair the performance of the projector, take care with respect to the following:

• 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.
• Wipe the lens gently with a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth.
• Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth lightly dampened with water.
• Never use solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner, or acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or chemical cleaning cloth, as they will damage the lens surface.

On cleaning the cabinet

• Clean the cabinet gently with a soft dry cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with mild detergent solution, followed by wiping with a soft dry cloth.

• Use of alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide may damage the finish of the cabinet or remove the indications on the cabinet. Do not use these chemicals.

• If you rub on the cabinet with a stained cloth, the cabinet may be scratched.

• If the cabinet is in contact with a rubber or vinyl resin product for a long period of time, the finish of the cabinet may deteriorate or the coating may come off.

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. 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.

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

• 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.

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.

Near a heat or smoke sensor

Malfunction of the sensor may be caused.

Very dusty, extremely smoky

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.

Usage in High Altitude

When using the unit at an altitude of 1,500m or higher, set the "High Altitude Mode" to "On" 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 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

Avoid using as the unit topples over on its side. It may cause malfunction.

Do not tilt right/left

Avoid using as the unit tilts right or left more than 20 degrees. These installations may cause malfunction.

Do not block the ventilation holes

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 picture muting function key to cut off the picture.
