Precautions
On safety
•Check that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with the voltage of your local power supply.
•Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified 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 to 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 aim the laser at people or not look into the laser transmitter.
•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 lift up 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 build-up
After you turn off the power with the I /
1
key on the
Remote Commander or on the control panel, do not disconnect the unit from the wall outlet while the cooling fan is still running.
Caution
The projector is equipped with ventilation holes (intake) on the bottom and ventilation holes (exhaust) on rear. 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 every 300 hours.
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.

About the preset memory No.
This projector has 44 kinds of preset data for input signals (the preset memory). The memory number of the current input signal and the signal type are displayed when the preset signal is input. This projector automatically detects the signal type. When the signal is registered to the preset memory, a suitable picture is displayed on the screen according to the signal type. You can adjust the picture through the INPUT SETTING menu. This projector also has 20 kinds of user memories for each INPUT-A/B. When an unpreset signal is input for the first time, memory number is displayed as 0. If the input signal is adjusted in the INPUT SETTING menu, the setting via INPUT-A/B is stored. When more than 20 user memories are registered for each INPUT-A/B, the newest memory is automatically stored over the oldest one.

Tips for Installation
Tips for Installation
Unsuitable Installation
Do not install the projector in the following situations. These installations may cause malfunction or damage to the projector.
Poorly ventilated
•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. When the internal heat builds up due to the block-up, the temperature sensor will function with the message “High temp.! Lamp off in 1 min.” The power will be turned off automatically after one minute.
•Leave space of more than 30 cm (11
7
/8 inches)
around the unit.
•Be careful that the ventilation holes may inhale tininess such as a piece of paper.
•If you put something in front of the front ventilation holes, the exhaust may be inhaled into the projector through the ventilation holes at the bottom, causing the internal temperature to rise, which activates the protection circuit. Install the projector so that the exhaust is not blocked.
Highly heated and humid
•Avoid installing the unit in a location where the temperature or humidity is very high, or temperature is very low.
•To avoid moisture condensation, do not install the unit in a location where the temperature may rise rapidly.
Very dusty
Avoid installing the unit in a location where there is a lot of dust; otherwise, the air filter will be obstructed. The dust blocking the air through the filter may cause raising the internal heat of the projector. Clean it up periodically.
Notes on Installation
Carry out the followings.
No toppling of the unit
Avoid using as the unit topples over on its side. It may cause malfunction.
Use to be level
Avoid using as the unit tilts more than 20 degrees. Do not install the unit other than on the floor or ceiling. These installation may cause malfunction.

Maintenance
Replacing the Lamp
When it is time to replace the lamp, replace the lamp promptly with a new LMP-P200 Projector Lamp. The lamp reaches the end of its life after about 1000 hours for the STANDARD setting, or about 2000 hours for the LOW setting in the LAMP MODE.
When replacing the lamp after using the projector
Turn off the projector, then unplug the power cord. Wait for at least an hour for the lamp to cool.
Note
The lamp becomes a high temperature after turning off the projector with the I / 1 key. If you touch the lamp, you may scald your finger. When you replace the lamp, wait for at least an hour for the lamp to cool.
1
Place a protective sheet (cloth) beneath the projector. Hold the projector handle and turn the projector toward the control panel as shown below.
Note
When replacing the lamp, be sure it is on a flat and stable surface.
2
Open the lamp cover by loosening one screw with the Philips screwdriver (supplied with the LMP­P200 Projector Lamp).
3
Loosen two screws on the lamp unit with the Philips screwdriver.
4
While holding the handle and keeping the lamp unit horizontal, pull straight up.
Notes
•Pull out the lamp unit by holding the handle. If you touch the lamp unit, you may be burned or injured.
•When removing the lamp unit, make sure it remains horizontal, then pull straight up. Do not tilt the lamp unit. If you pull out the lamp unit while tilted and if the lamp breaks, the pieces may scatter, causing injury.
•If the lamp breaks, consult with qualified Sony personnel.
5
Insert the new lamp all the way in until it is securely in place. Tighten the screws. Fold down the handle.
Notes
•Be careful not to touch the glass surface of the lamp.
•The power will not turn on if the lamp is not secured properly.
Maintenance
33
(GB)
6
Close the lamp cover and tighten the screw.
7
Turn the projector back over.
8
Connect the power cord and turn the projector to the standby mode.
9
Press the following keys on the control panel in the following order for less than in five seconds each: RESET, <, ,, ENTER.
Notes
•Be sure to use the LMP-P200 Projector Lamp for replacement. If you use lamps other than LMP-P200, the projector may cause a malfunction.
•Be sure to turn off the projector and unplug the power cord before replacing the lamp.
•Do not put your hands into the lamp replacement spot, or not fall any liquid or object into it to avoid electrical shock or fire.
Disposal of used projector lamp
As the materials used in this lamp are similar to those of a fluorescent lamp, you should dispose of a used projector lamp in the same way as a fluorescent lamp.
Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter should be cleaned every 300 hours.
When it becomes difficult to remove the dust from the filter, replace the filter with a new one. To clean the air filter, follow the steps below:
1
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord.
2
Remove the air filter cover while holding down the air filter cover button on the filter cover.
3
Peel off the air filter. (The air filter is secured with Velcro tape (3).)
4
Remove the dust from the filter with a vacuum cleaner.
5
Install the air filter as shown in the figure. Install the air filter cover on the projector.
Notes
•Just placing the air filter on the Velcro tapes will not lock the air filter in place. When installing the air filter, place it on the air filter cover and attach by pressing down hard on the three Velcro tapes. Make sure that the air filter is not bent.
•Set the air filter correctly (straight) in the air filter cover. If the air filter is not straight, the filter may malfunction.
•If the air filter is excessively dirty, wash it with a mild detergent solution and dry it in a shaded place. If the dust cannot be removed, replace the air filter with the supplied new one.
•The air filter has front and back sides. Make sure you install the air filter in the right direction. Check the notch on the filter as shown in the figure above and install properly.
•Be sure to attach the air filter cover firmly; the power will not be turned on if it is not closed securely.
