• 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 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:
• Leave space around the unit (page 6).

• 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.

• Do not place any object just in front of the projection window 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

• Make sure the projector is installed on the wall securely; otherwise, it may fall and cause death or serious injury. Be sure to use Sony's Projector Wall Mount.
• Be sure to secure the cabinet cover firmly when installing to the wall firmly.

Safety precautions for installing the unit

• Never mount or move the projector by yourself. Be sure to consult with your Sony dealer or a qualified installer.
• When installing the unit on a wall or ceiling, be sure to use a safety wire, etc., to prevent the unit from falling. Entrust the installation to a Sony dealer or qualified installer.
• Before installing the unit on a wall or ceiling, make sure that the mounting surface is strong enough. If you install the unit without first confirming that the mounting surface is strong enough, the unit may fall.

On Installation

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

• Avoid using if the unit is tilted more than 15 degrees horizontally.

• Always install the unit horizontally or vertically. Otherwise the projected image may be unevenly colored or the lamp life may be deteriorated.

• 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.

On cleaning the projection window and the cabinet

• 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 if 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 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.

On Illumination

To obtain the best picture, the front of the screen should not be exposed to direct lighting or sunlight.

On Heat Dissipation

The temperature of the projector's cabinet may increase during or immediately after use; however, this is not a malfunction.

On Screen

Use a screen with an even surface.

On Fan

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.

On Lamp

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 unfit 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.

For carrying

This unit is precision equipment. When carrying the unit, do not subject the unit to shocks, or fall. It may damage the unit.

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.

On Condensation

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.

When using the device at an altitude of 1500 m or higher, set the "High Altitude" parameter to "On" in the installation menu. If this mode is not set when operating at high altitude, undesirable effects such as reduced reliability of some components may occur.

Set the required value for the "Install Position" parameter in the installation menu according to the installation angle. Using incorrect settings may affect the reliability of components.

Cleaning the lens and the cabinet

• Before cleaning, disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet. Do not wipe the device with a dirty cloth - this may cause scratches on the cabinet.
• Prolonged contact with certain substances (e.g., insect repellent), as well as rubber or vinyl products, may cause changes in the device's appearance or damage to the coating. Do not touch the projection window with bare hands. Cleaning the projection window: Gently wipe the projection window with a soft cloth, such as a glass cleaning cloth. Stubborn dirt that cannot be removed can be cleaned by slightly moistening the cloth with water. Do not use solvents, alcohol, benzene, or acid, alkaline or abrasive cleaners, or impregnated cloths for cleaning. Cleaning the cabinet: Gently clean the cabinet with a soft cloth. Stubborn dirt that cannot be removed can be cleaned by slightly moistening the cloth with a mild detergent solution, wringing it out well, and then wiping the cabinet with a dry soft cloth. Do not use solvents, alcohol, benzene, or thinner, acid, alkaline or abrasive cleaners, or impregnated cloths for cleaning.

Lighting

For high-quality images, the screen should be shielded from direct lighting or sunlight.

About heat dissipation

The projector cabinet may become hot during use or immediately after use, but this is not a malfunction.

Screen

When using a screen with a non-glare surface, stripes may sometimes appear on the screen, depending on the distance between the screen and the device, as well as the projection angle. This is not a malfunction of the device.

Ventilator

The projector is equipped with an internal ventilator that serves to lower the internal temperature. The operation of the ventilator may be accompanied by a slight noise. This effect is a normal result of the production process and does not indicate a malfunction. However, if the noise level is high, you should contact qualified personnel of the company.

Lamp

The projector uses a high-pressure mercury lamp as the light source. The characteristics of the high-pressure mercury lamp are given below.

• The quality of the lamp gradually decreases over the course of its service life. The lamp may burst with a loud sound as a result of impact, damage, or wear after the service life has elapsed. The lamp may stop emitting light and burn out.

The service life of the lamp depends on the individual characteristics of the lamp and the operating conditions. For this reason, the lamp may burst or burn out before the indicated replacement period. The lamp may also burst after the replacement period has elapsed. Replace the projector lamp immediately after a message appears on the projected image, even if the lamp continues to operate normally.

Precautions for transportation

This device is precision equipment. When transporting, protect the device from impacts or falls. Impacts or falls may damage the device.

Liquid crystal projector

The LCD projector was created using high-precision technologies. However, on the screen of the LCD projector, small black or bright (red, blue, or green) dots may periodically appear. This is 30000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Condensation

If the temperature in the room where the projector is installed changes rapidly, or if the projector is quickly moved from a cold place to a warm place, condensation may form inside it. Since condensation can cause malfunction, be careful when changing the temperature settings of the air conditioner. If condensation forms, do not use the projector; leave it turned on for approximately two hours.
