Precautions

On safety

•Operate the unit on 200 – 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.

•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 or set the 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.

•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 and the main POWER switch is set to ON.

•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.

•Have at least four people carry and handle the projector, to avoid accidents or injury.

•Avoid using an extension cord with a low voltage limit, as it may cause short-circuiting and physical injury.

•To carry the projector, be sure to use the carrying handles. Do not hold other parts of the projector, especially the lens, nor catch your finger between the handle, floor, and the projector.

•Do not catch your finger between the unit and surface of the floor when moving the projector installed on the floor.

•Be careful not to catch your finger in the cooling fan.

•Do not carry the projector by holding the cover of the cabinet.

•Do not carry the projector with the cabinet on and with its cover open.

On installation

•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. Leave space of more than 80 cm (31

1

/2 inches) between the wall and the projector. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that the temperature near the installation location is not excessive.

•Install the projector on the floor or hang it from the ceiling. Any other installation causes a malfunction such as color irregularity or a shorten lamp life.

•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.

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 build-up

After turning off the power, the cooling fan runs for about 15 minutes while the ON indicator flashes in green.

Caution

The projector is equipped with ventilation holes (intake) at the front and right/left side, and ventilation holes (exhaust) at the left side. 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.

•Have the lamp filters and air filter inside the unit cleaned regularly by qualified Sony personnel. If the filters are clogged, internal heat may build up and the power may be turned off automatically.

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.

Location and Function of Controls

Features

High brightness, high picture quality

• High brightness

The combination of a 2 kW arc Xenon lamp and Digital Light Processing

TM

(DLPTM), a Texas Instruments technology, provides superb light output of 10,000 ANSI lumen while assuring excellent uniformity on the entire screen.

• High resolution

Thanks to use of three SXGA-resolution Digital Micromirror Device

Digital HDTV signals are also acceptable when the optional IFB-LE100 interface board is installed.

System expandability and versatility

The projector has RS-232C/422A/PJ COM interface connectors for communication. By combining the interface boards and signal interface switcher (not supplied), the projection systems can be greatly expanded. The projector also has the group and device index functions for using multiple projectors in one system.

Easy and flexible setup

• Sony’s original APA (Auto Pixel Alignment) function

You can obtain the clearest picture automatically by simply pressing the APA key when the signal is input from a computer.

• Easy setup with external equipment

This projector has 49 preset data for input signals in the memory. You can get a clear picture on the screen simply by connecting equipment and pressing the APA key. (For the signals that are not preset, adjustment may be necessary to get a clear picture.)

• Flexible setup

The lens shift function allows you to install the projector in a wide range of locations, without worrying about keystone distortion (the picture going out of square). The power focus and power zoom functions also let you change the size of the projection screen without having to move the projector.

Battery installation

1

Push to open the lid, and install three R6 (size AA) batteries (supplied) with the polarities correctly aligned.

2

Replace the lid.

Notes on batteries

•Make sure that the battery orientation is correct when inserting batteries.

•Do not mix old battery with new one, or different types of batteries.

•If you will not use the Remote Commander for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage from battery leakage. If batteries have leaked, remove them, wipe the battery compartment dry and replace the batteries with new ones.

Notes on wireless Remote Commander operation

•Be sure that there is nothing to obstruct the infrared beam between the Remote Commander and the projector.

•The operation range is limited. The shorter the distance between the Remote Commander and the projector, the wider the angle within which the commander can control the projector.

•The remote control detectors on the projector do not operate when connecting the remote commander cable to the CONTROL S IN jack. If you wish to use the Remote Commander as a wireless Remote Commander, be sure to remove the remote commander cable from both the Remote Commander and the projector.

To connect the Remote Commander to the projector

Note on wired Remote Commander operation using the supplied remote commander cable (stereo)

You do not need to install the batteries since the power is supplied from the CONTROL S IN jack on the projector. In this case, the batteries are not consumed.

Precautions on Installation

Avoid installing the projector in a location subject to excessive dust

Do not use the projector while laying it on its side or upside down

Do not tilt the projector when in use

Avoid tilting the projector more than ±5 degrees or installing it other than on the floor and ceiling. Such installations may cause malfunctions such as color irregularity or shortening of lamp life.

Do not cover the ventilation holes (exhaust)

Do not cover the ventilation holes (exhaust) on the left side; otherwise, internal heat may build up.

Do not install the projector on a deep-pile carpet

If you install the projector on a deep-pile carpet, the ventilation holes (intake) may be blocked, causing an internal heat build-up.

Precautions on Installation

For installation examples with projection distances, see the supplied “Projection Distance Charts.” Do not install the projector in the following situations. These installations may cause malfunction or damage to the projector.

Do not install the projector in an illventilated place

The projector is equipped with ventilation holes for intake and these for exhaust on the front, left and right sides to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not block these ventilation holes and allow adequate air circulation at an installation location.

Do not place any object beside the projector

If you put something beside the ventilation holes on the sides, the exhaust may be inhaled into the projector through the ventilation holes (intake), causing the internal temperature to rise and thereby activating the protection circuit. Install the projector so that the exhaust is not blocked.

Do not install the projector in a location where temperature or humidity is very high

Avoid installing the projector in a location where temperature may rise or fall rapidly

Be careful of air-conditioning and heating in a room where the projector is installed, as sudden changes in temperature may lead to moisture condensation and cause damage to the projector.

About the memory function

The adjustment data for 49 types of input signals are preset at the factory (preset memory). When a signal is input to the projector, the signal type is automatimally detected and the data for the signal is called from the memory to display an optimum picture. When the preset signal is input, the memory number in use and the type of the current input signal are displayed. The data can be adjusted in the INPUT SETTING menu and the adjusted data will be saved as user memory. When you save more than 200 user memories, the newest one always overwrites the oldest one. The saved user memory number is displayed in the INPUT SETTING menu as t NO. ss. When an RGB signal other than the preset signals is input to the projector, the memory number is displayed as 0 and the closest option is automatically selected from the preset 49 types of signals.

Notes

•When an RGB signal is input with sync on Green including external sync, the picture tone may be greenish. In this case, disconnect the external sync signal.

•When an HDTV 1035/60I signal is input, the picture will appear smaller. Adjust SIZE, SHIFT and BLANKING referring to the following levels as a standard.
