On safety

• Check that the operating voltage of your unit is identical to the voltage of your local power supply.
• If voltage adaptation is required, consult with qualified Sony personnel.
• 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 theplug. Never pull the cord itself.
• The wall outlet should be near the unit and easily accessible.
• 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.
• Do not move the projector when it is turned on and the cabinet cover is open.
• Never mount the projector on the ceiling or move it by yourself.
• Be sure to consult with qualified Sony personnel (charged).
• If the ventilation holes are blocked, internal heat builds up, and it may cause a fire or damage the unit. To allow adequate air circulation and prevent internal heat build-up, follow the items below:
• Leave space around the unit (page 6).
• Avoid using something to cover the ventilation holes (exhaust/intake).
• Do not place the unit on surfaces such as an original packing sheet, soft cloth, papers, rugs, or scraps of paper. The ventilation holes may take in such materials.
• 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 picture muting function to cut off the picture.
• Do not use the Security bar for the purpose of preventing theft when transporting or installing the unit. If you lift the unit by the Security bar or hang the unit by this bar, it may cause the unit to fall and be damaged, and may result in personal injury.

• Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth lightly dampened with mild detergent solution and wrung, followed by wiping with a soft dry cloth.

Illumination

To obtain the best picture, the front of the screen should not be exposed to direct lighting or sunlight.

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 magnification. This is not a malfunction of the unit.

Lamp

The lamp used as a light source contains mercury that has high internal pressure. A high-pressure mercury lamp has the following characteristics;

• The brightness of the lamp will be lowered as the lapse of time increases. The lamp may break with a loud noise as a result of shock, damage, or deterioration caused by the lapse of time.
• Therefore, it may break or will not light even before the specified replacement time.
• It may break after the replacement time has elapsed. Replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible if a message is displayed on the projected image, even if the lamp normally lights.

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.
