Precautions
On safety
- Check that the operating voltage of your unit is identical to the voltage of your local power supply. i If voltage adaptation is required, consult your Sony dealer or qualified personnel.
- Usę the supplied AC power cord (mains lead). Do not use an extension cord.
- Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. ¢Unplug the unit from the wall outlet or set the MAIN POWER switch to OFF 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.
On installation
- When the unit is mounted on the ceiling, the Sony projector suspension support PSS-1270 must be used for installation. i
- 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. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that the temperature near the installation location is not excessive.
- Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or humidity, mechanical vibration, or shock.
- To avoid moisture condensation, do not install the unit in a location where the temperature may rise rapidly.
- Do not install the screen in a location where wind from an air conditioner may blow upon it directly.
- Use a cover over fluorescent lamps
to avoid lowering the contrast ratio. Cover any windows that face the screen with opaque fabric - lt. It is desirable to install the projector in a room where the floor and walls are not of light-reflecting material.
- To keep the cabinet looking brand-new, periodically clean it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner or benzine, or abrasive cleansers, since these will damage the cabinet.
- Avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens, use a blower brush or a soft cleaning brush. To remove fingerprints or smudges, clean with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution.
- 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.
