Precautions

Warning
The Installation Manual contained in the CD-ROM is for dealers. If customers perform the installation 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 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 — the air coming out is hot.
• Be careful not to catch your fingers by the adjuster when you adjust the height of the projector. Do not push hard on the top of the projector with the adjuster out.
On 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.
• Cover any windows that face the screen with opaque draperies.
• It is desirable to install the projector 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 build­up
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 degradation or damage to the projector.
On cleaning
• To keep the cabinet looking 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, benzene, or abrasive cleansers, since these will damage the cabinet.
• 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.
• Clean the filter at regular intervals.
On repacking
• 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.
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.

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.
