Preventing internal heat build-up
Precautions
The 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
projector.
Safety
• 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.
Cleaning
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into
the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it further.
Before cleaning
Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord
from the AC outlet.
• 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.
Cleaning the air filter
• Clean the air filter whenever you replace
the lamp.
• Refer to the “Cleaning the Air Filter” on
page 42 for the air filter cleaning.
• 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.
• Be careful not to get your fingers caught in
the adjuster.
• Do not spread a cloth or paper under the
unit.
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.
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.
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.
• 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.
Precautions
5
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
• 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

and Usage
deteriorate or the coating may come off.
Unsuitable Installation
LCD data projector
Do not install the projector in the following
situations. Installation is these situations
or locations may cause a malfunction or
damage to the unit.
This LCD data projector is manufactured
using high-precision technology. You may,
however, see tiny black points and/or bright
points (red, blue, or green) that appear
continuously on the LCD data projector.
This is a normal result of the manufacturing
process and does not indicate a malfunction.
When the images are projected onto the
screens from multiple LCD data projectors,
they may generate color distinctions because
each projector has its own color balance
even if the projectors are the same models.
Poorly ventilated locations
• 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
internal heat builds up due to blockage of
ventilation holes, the temperature sensor
will function, and the power will be turned
off automatically.
7
• Leave space of more than 30 cm (11 /8
inches) around the unit.
• Be careful not to allow the ventilation
holes to inhale tiny objects such as pieces
of paper or clumps of dust.

Notes on Installation and Usage

Hot and humid
Very dusty, extremely smoky
locations
• Avoid installing the unit in a location
where the temperature or humidity is very
high, or the temperature is very low.
• To avoid moisture condensation, do not
install the unit in a location where the
temperature may rise rapidly.
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.
Locations subject to direct cool or
warm air from an air-conditioner
Unsuitable Conditions
Do not use the projector under the following
conditions.
Do not stand the unit upright on
one side
Avoid using the unit standing upright on its
side. It may cause malfunction.
Installing the projector in such a location
may cause a malfunction of the unit due to
moisture condensation or a rise in
temperature.
Near a heat or smoke sensor
Malfunction of the sensor may occur.
Do not tilt the unit to the right or left
Avoid tilting the unit to an angle of 15°, and
avoid installing the unit in any way other
than placing it on a level surface or
suspending from the ceiling. Such an
installation may cause color shading or
shorten the lamp life excessively.
Notes on Installation and Usage
7
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Do not block the ventilation holes
Usage at High Altitude
When using the projector at an altitude of
1,500 m or higher, turn on “High
Altitude Mode” in the INSTALL SETTING
menu. Failing to set this mode when using
the projector at high altitudes could have
adverse effects, such as reducing
the reliability of certain components.
Avoid using a thick-piled carpet or anything
that covers the ventilation holes (exhaust/
intake); otherwise, internal heat may build
up.
Notes on Use
Note on carrying the projector
The unit is manufactured using high-
precision technology. When transporting the
unit stored in the carrying case, do not drop
the unit or subject it to shock, as this may
cause damage. When storing the unit in the
carrying case, disconnect the AC power cord
and all other connecting cables or cards, and
store the supplied accessories in a pocket of
the carrying case.
Do not place a blocking object just
in front of the lens
Note on the screen
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 PIC MUTING key to cut
off the picture.
When using a screen with an uneven surface,
a striped pattern may rarely appear on the
screen depending on the distance between
the screen and the projector or the zooming
magnification settings used. This is not a
malfunction of the projector.
Do not use the Security bar for
transporting or installation
Use the Security bar at the rear of the
projector for a purpose of preventing theft,
by attaching a commercially available theft
prevention cable for example. If you lift the
projector by holding the Security bar, or
hang the projector by using this bar, it may
cause the projector to fall or be damaged.

may accumulate, clogging it. As a result,
the temperature may rise inside the unit,
leading to a possible malfunction or fire.
• Be sure to attach the air filter cover firmly;
the power can not be turned on if it is not
closed securely.
• The air filter has a face and a reverse side.
Place the air filter so that it fits in a notch on
the air filter cover.
The air filter should be cleaned whenever
you replace the lamp. Remove the air filter,
and then remove the dust with a vacuum
cleaner.
The time needed to clean the air filter will
vary depending on the environment or how
the projector is used.
When it becomes difficult to remove the dust
from the filter with a vacuum cleaner,
remove the air filter and wash it.
1 Turn the power off and unplug the
power cord.
