Precautions

On safety

• Check that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with the voltage of your local power supply.
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified 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 to 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.
• Make sure to remove the protective packaging lens cap before projection. Projection with the cap attached may melt the cap by heat.
• 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.

On preventing internal heat build-up

After you turn off the power with the I/⏻ (ON/STANDBY) button, do not disconnect the unit from the wall outlet while the cooling fan is still running.

Caution

This unit is equipped with ventilation holes (intake) and ventilation holes (exhaust). 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 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.

On watching 3D video images

Safety precautions

• You should only use the 3D glasses for watching 3D video images.
• If you observe flickering or flashing, turn off the lighting in the room.
• Not for use by children without proper adult supervision.
• Be careful not to pinch your fingers in hinges of the 3D glasses when bending the temple frames.
• Do not drop or modify these 3D glasses.
• If these glasses are broken, keep broken pieces away from your mouth or eyes.

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.

Notes on security

- SONY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND RESULTING FROM A FAILURE TO IMPLEMENT PROPER SECURITY MEASURES ON TRANSMISSION DEVICES, UNAVOIDABLE DATA LEAKS RESULTING FROM TRANSMISSION SPECIFICATIONS, OR SECURITY PROBLEMS OF ANY KIND.

• Depending on the operating environment, unauthorized third parties on the network may be able to access the unit. When connecting the unit to the network, be sure to confirm that the network is protected securely.
• From a safety standpoint, when using the unit connected with the network, it is strongly recommended to access the Control window via a Web browser and change the access limitation settings from the factory preset values.

Also, it is recommended that you set a password with a sufficiently long character string that is hard to guess by others, and that you store it safely.

• Do not browse any other website in the Web browser while making settings or after making settings. Since the login status remains in the Web browser, close the Web browser when you complete the settings to prevent unauthorized third parties from using the unit or harmful programs from running.
• When connecting this product to a network, connect via a system that provides a protection function, such as a router or firewall. If connected without such protection, security issues may occur.

Do not place this product close to medical devices

This product (including accessories) has magnet(s) which may interfere with pacemakers, programmable shunt valves for hydrocephalus treatment, or other medical devices. Do not place this product close to persons who use such medical devices. Consult your doctor before using this product if you use any such medical device.

SONY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THIS UNIT FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN GENERAL HOME USE, EITHER DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD OR AFTER EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTY.

Do not do any of the following while using the unit.

Tilting front/rear and left/right

Avoid using the unit tilted at an angle of more than 15 degrees.

Do not install the unit anywhere other than on a level surface or on the ceiling. Installing the unit in such a location may result in uneven color uniformity or reduce the reliability of the effects of the lamp.

If the unit is tilted up or down, the image on the screen may be trapezoidal.

Position the unit so that the lens is parallel to the screen.

When installing the unit at high altitudes

When using the unit at an altitude of 1,500 m (approx. 4,900 ft) or higher, set "High Altitude Mode" on the Setup menu to "On". Failing to set this mode when using the unit at high altitudes could have

adverse effects, such as reducing the reliability of certain components.

Safety precautions for installing the unit on a ceiling

• Never mount the projector on the ceiling or move it by yourself. Be sure to consult with qualified Sony personnel (charged).
• When installing the unit on a ceiling, be sure to use a safety wire, etc., to prevent the unit from falling. Entrust the installation to an experienced contractor or installer.

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.

Checking the Supplied Accessories

Check the carton to make sure it contains the following items:

• Remote control RM-PJ28 (1)
• Size AA (R6) batteries (2)
• Lens cap (1)

When you purchase the projector, a lens cap is on the lens. Remove the lens cap before you use the projector.

Maintenance

The lamp used for the light source has a certain lifespan. When the lamp dims, the color balance of the picture becomes strange, or “Please replace the Lamp.” appears on the screen, the lamp may be exhausted. Replace the lamp with a new one (not supplied) without delay.

Tip

The lifespan of the lamp used for the light source changes depending on the installation environment or use conditions. You can use the lamp longer by avoiding turning the lamp off until several minutes pass after turning the lamp on.

Tools you need to get started:

• Projector Lamp LMP-H220 (Optional)
• Standard Phillips screwdriver
• Cloth (for scratch protection)

Caution

• The lamp remains hot after the unit is turned off with the I/⏻ (ON/STANDBY) button. If you touch the lamp, you may burn your fingers. When you replace the lamp, wait for at least 1 hour for the lamp to cool.
• Do not touch the surface of the lamp. If you touch it, wipe off the fingerprints with a soft cloth.
• Pay special attention to replacing the lamp when the unit is installed on the ceiling.
• When replacing the lamp of a unit which is on the ceiling, do not stand directly under the lamp cover. When removing the lamp door (inner cover), avoid twisting it. If the lamp explodes, fragments may cause injury.
• When removing the lamp unit, make sure it remains horizontal, then pull straight up. Do not tilt the lamp unit. If you pull out the lamp unit while tilted and if the lamp breaks, the pieces may scatter, causing injury.

Notes

- Be sure to use a specified projector lamp for the replacement. If you use lamps other than the specified projector lamp, the unit may malfunction.

- Be sure to turn off the unit and unplug the power cord before replacing the lamp, then check the ON/STANDBY indicator has already been turned off.
