Precautions

This projection monitor operates on extremely high voltage. To prevent fire or electric shock, please follow the precautions below.

On blanking around the pciture

The monitor displays black masks between the picture and the screen vessel because the monitor under-scans to obtain the necessary space on the screen to display the picture. This is called blanking. Note that the black masks on each vessel are not uniform. To adjust the size and position of the picture, see pages

16 and 17.

Blanking

Picture

On safety

• Check that the operating voltage of your unit is

identical with the voltage of your local power supply.

• One blade of the plug is wider than the other for

safety purposes and will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.

• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the

cabinet, unplug the monitor and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it further.

• Unplug the monitor from the wall outlet if you are

not going to use it for several days or more. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

• The fans inside the monitor continue working for a

while even after the monitor has been turned off. Do not unplug the monitor from the AC outlet while the fans are working.

On installation

• To prevent internal heat build-up, do not block the ventilation openings.

• Do not install the monitor in a hot or humid place, or in a place subject to excessive dust or mechanical vibration.

On screen

The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not rub, touch or tap it with sharp or abrasive objects. Be especially careful when transporting the monitor.

Screen vessel

On moisture condensation

If the projection monitor is transported directly from a cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature has changed suddenly, the picture may be blurred or show poor color. This is because moisture has condensed on the lenses inside. If this happens, leave the power on and let the moisture evaporate before using the monitor.

On cleaning

• Clean the cabinet of the monitor with a dry soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth slightly dampened with solution of mild soap and water, then wipe it with a dry soft cloth.

• Do not use any type of solvent such as alcohol, benzine, thinner or insecticide. Such solvent may damage the finish of the monitor or erase the indications on the panel.

• To remove dust from the screen, wipe it gently with a dry soft cloth.

• Stubborn stains on the screen may be removed with a soft cloth slightly dampened with solution of mild soap and water.

• If the picture becomes dark after using the monitor for a long period of time, it may be necessary to clean the inside of the monitor. Consult qualified service personnel.

Getting Started

Preset and user modes

The monitor automatically detects input signals with a horizontal scanning frequency between 24.8 and 85.0 kHz and a vertical scanning frequency between 50 and 85 Hz. However, it is recommended that a signal with a vertical scanning frequency of 60 Hz is used since the screen may go blank for a few seconds whenever a signal other than 60 Hz is input to the monitor. The monitor is capable of a display resolution of up to 1,024 × 768 dots. When a signal with a higher resolution is input, it will be processed to display the image at 1,024 × 768 dots.

User modes

When using a video mode that is not one of the preset modes, some fine tuning may be required to optimize the display to your preference. Simply adjust the monitor according to the adjustments instructions on pages 16 through 18. The adjustments will be stored automatically and recalled whenever that mode is used.

Recommended horizontal timing conditions

Horizontal sync width should be more than 1.0 µsec. Horizontal blanking width should be more than 3.6 µsec.

Preset modes

The monitor has the factory preset modes for the most popular industry standards as shown below.

* The monitor projects the picture in 4:3 aspect ratio.

fH fV Graphics Sync (kHz) (Hz) mode

If the frequency range of an input signal is not acceptable for the monitor

“OUT OF SCAN RANGE” appears on the screen.

The monitor does not accept an interlace mode signal that is not a preset mode signal. Furthermore,

if you input a signal other than a preset mode signal with a dot clock of more than 140 MHz, the picture may be distorted.

Plug & Play

This monitor complies with the DDCTM1 and DDC2B which are the Display Data Channel (DDC) standards of VESA. When a DDC1 host system is connected, the monitor synchronizes with the V. CLK in accordance with the VESA standards and outputs the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) to the data line. When a DDC2B host system is connected, the monitor automatically switches to each communication.

Replacing a lamp

If the screen becomes dark, the color looks unusual, or the LAMP indicator on the front of the monitor flashes, it is time to replace the lamp with a new one.

Disposal of the Used Lamp

Sony regards protection of the environment as extremely important. Kindly put the used lamp in the new lamp’s package and send it to the sales company whose address appears on the new lamp’s guaranty card.

Before replacement

• Be sure to use a Sony XL-100 series lamp unit (not supplied) for replacement. Use of other lamps may damage the monitor.

• Do not remove the lamp for any purpose other than replacement.

• When replacing the lamp, let it cool down completely as the surface of the lamp remains extremely hot for at least 30 minutes after the power has been turned off.

• Do not leave the removed lamp near flammable materials.

• Do not pour water onto the removed lamp, nor put any object inside the lamp.

• Do not put inflammable materials and metal objects inside the lamp receptacle on the monitor, after removing the lamp. Do not touch the receptacle.

• Fit the new lamp securely, otherwise the screen may become dark, or it may cause a fire.

1 Turn off the power switch on the monitor

and unplug the power cord.

Wait at least 30 minutes to allow the lamp to cool down before replacing it .

2 Remove the front panel.

3 Loosen the screw with a coin or similar

object to remove the lamp cover.

4 Loosen the two screws that secure the

lamp, then pull out the lamp.

The lamp is very hot immediately after use. Never touch the front glass of the lamp or the surrounding parts.

Loosen the two screws with the hexagon head wrench (supplied with the lamp).

Hold the handle and pull out straight towards you.

Place the removed lamp into the empty box of the replacement lamp.

5 Mount the new lamp and tighten the two

screws securely using the hexagon head wrench.

Hold the monitor tightly.

-GB

Additional Information

Grasping the right end of the front panel with your fingers, pull the panel towards you. Repeat this step with the left end of the panel. Be careful not to catch your fingernails.

6 Mount the lamp cover and tighten the

screw.

7 Mount the front panel.

Be careful not to damage the monitor’s speakers.

Notes

• Do not touch the front glass of a new lamp or the glass of the lamp receptacle. This may reduce picture quality or lamp life.

• Be sure to attach the lamp securely; otherwise, the monitor will not turn on.

• A loud sound may be heard when the lamp burns out. This is not dangerous.

• Consult your Sony dealer for obtaining the following lamp units: XL-100 (for Japan) XL-100U (for the U.S.) XL-100E (for Europe) XL-100M (for all other areas)
