described in this manual, an accident may
occur, causing serious injury. Never install it
by yourself. For installation, be sure to
consult with a Sony dealer.
On preventing internal heat build-
up
The projector is equipped with ventilation
holes (intake) and ventilation holes
(exhaust) at the front. Do not block or place
anything near these holes, or internal heat
build-up may occur, causing picture
On 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.
• 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

Connecting the Projector
When you connect the projector, make sure to:
• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
• Use the proper cables for each connection.
• Insert the cable plugs firmly; loose connections may increase noise and
reduce performance of picture signals. When pulling out a cable, be sure to
pull it out from the plug, not the cable itself.
Connecting with a Computer or a VCR
This section describes how to connect the projector to a computer or video
equipment.
For more information, refer to the computer’s instruction manual.
Notes
• The projector accepts VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, SXGA+ and UXGA (60 Hz)
signals. However, we recommend that you set the output mode of your computer to
XGA mode for the external monitor.
• If you set your computer, such as a notebook type, to output the signal to both your
computer’s display and the external monitor, the picture of the projector may not
appear properly. Set your computer to output the signal to only the external monitor.
For details, refer to the computer’s operating instructions supplied with your
computer.
• If you connect a computer that can use the DDC function to the INPUT C connector
on this unit, the picture of the projector may not be displayed properly. In that case,
change the setting on your computer to disable the DDC function.
• This projector is compatible with a DDC2B (Digital Data Channel 2B). If your
computer is compatible with a DDC, turn the projector on according to the following
procedures.
1 Connect the projector to the computer by using the HD D-sub 15-pin cable or DVI
cable.
2 Turn the projector on.
3 Start the computer.
