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

• 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.  
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.

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

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.

About the Preset Memory No.  
This projector has 45 types of preset data for  
input signals (the preset memory). When a  
preset signal is input, the projector  
automatically detects the signal type and  
recalls the data for the signal from the preset  
memory to adjust it to an optimum picture.  
The memory number and signal type of that  
signal are displayed on the INFORMATION  
menu (See page 38). You can also adjust the  
preset data through the INPUT SETTING  
menu.  
See the chart on page 50 to find if the signal  
is registered in the preset memory.  
Note  
When the aspect ratio of input signal is other  
than “Full 2”, a part of the screen may be  
displayed in black.
