Precautions

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

plug. Never pull the cord itself.

• The wall outlet should be near the unit and

easily accessible.

• The unit is not disconnected from 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 (exhaust) — the air

coming out is hot.

• Be careful not to get your fingers caught in

the adjuster. The powered tilt adjuster of

this unit automatically extends when the

power is turned on, and is retracted

automatically when the power is turned

off. Do not touch the unit while the

adjuster is in operation. Adjust the

powered tilt adjuster carefully after its

automatic operation is completed.

• Do not use the product with the filter

removed.

• Do not drop in at the exhaust outlet.

On illumination

• To obtain the best picture, the front of the

screen should not be exposed to direct

lighting or sunlight.

• 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.

On preventing internal heat build-

up

The unit is equipped with ventilation holes

(intake) at the bottom and ventilation holes

(exhaust) at the side. 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 cleaning

Before cleaning

Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord

from the AC outlet.

On cleaning the air filter

• Clean the air filter regularly.

• Refer to the “Cleaning the Air Filter” on

page 51 for the air filter cleaning.

On cleaning the lens cover

The lens cover 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 cover. To remove

dust on the lens, use a soft dry cloth. Do

not use a damp cloth, detergent solution, or

thinner.

• Wipe the lens cover 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 cover surface.

On 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

10

Notes on Installation and Usage

cabinet or remove the indications on the

cabinet. Do not use these chemicals.

• 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.

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.

Lens cover with hardened glass

A lens cover with hardened glass is supplied;

however, it is not unbreakable. If the glass is

shattered, dangerous shards may be

scattered. Take note of the followings:

• Do not impact strong shock to the cover by

dropping it from a high location.

• Do not scratch it. A deep scratch can lead

to breakage.

Notes on Installation

and Usage

Do not install the unit in the following

situations. These installations may cause

malfunction or damage to the unit.

Poorly ventilated

• 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 the internal heat builds up due to the

block-up, the temperature sensor will

function with the message “High temp.!

Lamp off in 1 min.” The power will be

turned off automatically after one minute.

• Leave space of more than 30 cm (11

7

/8

inches) around the unit.

• Be careful that the ventilation holes may

inhale tininess such as a piece of paper.

Highly heated and humid

• Avoid installing the unit in a location

where the temperature or humidity is very

high, or temperature is very low.

• To avoid moisture condensation, do not

install the unit in a location where the

temperature may rise rapidly.

Unsuitable Installation

11

Notes on Installation and Usage

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.

Near a heat or smoke sensor

Malfunction of the sensor may be caused.

Very dusty, extremely smoky

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.

When using the unit at an altitude of 1,500 m

or higher, set the “High Altitude Mode” to

“On” in the Setup 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.

Note on the screen

When using a screen with an uneven surface,

stripes pattern may rarely appear on the

screen depending on the distance between

the screen and the unit or the zooming

magnifications. This is not a malfunction of

the unit.

Usage in High Altitude

12

Notes on Installation and Usage

Do not use the unit under the following

conditions.

Do not topple the unit

Avoid using as the unit topples over on its

side. It may cause malfunction.

Do not tilt right/left

Avoid using as the unit tilts right or left more

than 20 degrees. Do not install the unit other

than on the floor or ceiling. These

installations may cause malfunction.

Do not tilt the unit backward or

forward

If the unit is left tilted for a certain period of

time, a warning message may appear to

show that the installation angle is outside the

proper range.

Do not block the ventilation holes

Avoid using something to cover over the

ventilation holes (exhaust/intake);

otherwise, the internal heat may build up.

Do not place a blocking object just

in front of the lens

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.

Features

High brightness, high picture

quality

High brightness

Adopting Sony’s unique new optical system

that incorporates newly developed LCD

panels provides a high-efficiency optical

system. It allows the 200 W Ultra High

Pressure mercury lamp to give a light output

of 2500 lumen.

High picture quality

Three super-high-aperture 0.63-inch (16.0

mm) XGA panels with approximately

790,000 effective pixels, produce a

resolution of 1024 × 768 dots (horizontal/

vertical) for RGB input, and 750 horizontal

TV lines for video input.

Compact and lightweight

The projector is light because the weight is

only about 1.7 kg, and the body is designed

to be thin. This makes the projector

convenient for carrying.

Easy setup and simple operation

Advanced Intelligent Auto-setup

function with auto focus adjustment

Simply press the power key, and the

projector automatically performs the setups

required before use. The projector corrects

the V Keystone, adjusts the focus

Short focal lens

The projection distance is very short,

approximately 2.36 m (7.7 feet), when

projecting an 80-inch (2032 mm) image,

which allows projection on a larger screen

even in a limited space.

Off & Go feature

The projector can be moved to another

location, after turning it off and

disconnecting the plug just after use.

Security Functions

Security lock

This function makes it possible to prevent

projection of a picture on the screen unless

the required password is entered when the

projector is turned on.
