Precautions

On safety

Overview

On installation

• Check that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with the voltage of your local power supply. If voltage adaptation is required, consult qualified service personnel.

• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified service personnel before operating it further.

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet or set the BREAKER ON/OFF switch to OFF if you do not use the unit 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.

• When the projector is mounted on the ceiling, the Sony PSS-70 Projector Suspension Support must be used for 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 30 cm (11 room heat rises to the ceiling; check that the temperature near the installation location is not excessive.

• 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.

/8 inches) between the wall and the projector. Be aware that

On illumination

4 (EN)

Caution

The projector is equipped with ventilation holes (intake) on the front and on the sides, and ventilation holes (exhaust) on the rear. Do not block these holes. Otherwise, internal heat build-up may occur, causing picture degradation or damage to the projector.

• To obtain the best picture, do not expose the front of the screen 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, we recommended that the carpet and wall paper be changed to a dark color.

On cleaning

On repacking

• 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.

• 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.

Overview

Light Processing lumen while assuring excellent uniformity on the entire screen.

Various input signals

The scan converter allows the projector to accept signals at horizontal frequencies of 15 to 65 kHz, including composite video, component video and VGA

signals.

Easy system flexibility

The projector is designed to be flexibly configured into the system. The RS-422A remote interface is provided as a standard feature, and various optional interface boards are also available. Furthermore, the projector has an indexing function which comes in handy when you operate a number of projectors together.

Optional 1.5 times zoom standard focus lens, 2 times zoom long focus lens and fixed short focus lens available

TM1)

(Digital

Easy setup

Attaching the optional lens makes projection suitable for your purpose.

• Easy setup with external equipment

The projector has 36 preset data for input signals. You can obtain an optimum picture by simply connecting external equipment to the projector.

• Flexible setup

The picture shift function allows for a wide range of installation position of the projector, eliminating keystone distortion (the picture going out of square). The electric focus and zoom functions also allow you to change the size of the projection image without moving the projector.

• Stack installation

The picture shift function allows you to produce a uniform high-intensity picture from the stacked projectors. Up to four projectors can be stacked.

Notes on wireless Remote Commander operation

• Make sure that there is nothing to obstruct the infrared beam between the Remote Commander and the remote control detector on the projector.

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

• The remote control detectors on the projector do not operate when the Remote Commander is being used as a wired Remote Commander. When using the Remote Commander as a wireless Remote Commander, remove the Remote Commander cable from both the Remote Commander and the projector.

Battery installation

1 Push and slide to open the lid.

2 Install the two size AA (R6) batteries (supplied)

with the correct polarity.

Install the battery from the end.

3 Replace the lid.

Notes on batteries

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

• Do not mix an old battery with a 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.

When the temperature around the projector is out of the operating temperature range, no picture may appear on the screen even if you turn the power on. (75 or 27 lights up in the error code display window.) In this case, adjust the temperature around the projector. When the temperature sensor for the lamp power or the lamp housing functions, the lamp may turn off. (23 or 24 lights up in the error code display window.)

For details on the error codes, see “Error codes” on page 50.

• Do not look into the lens when the projector lamp is on.

• When you adjust the focus, zoom and shift using the Remote Commander, set the SWITCHER/INDEX/LENS switch to LENS.

F LTER SYNC S TO COLOR

CLAMP is used as a standard for correctly setting the black level of a picture. The standard position of the clamp depends on the kind of sync signal being used. Normally, the projector CPU judges the signal and sets the position automatically. However, the CPU can misjudge the signal because of noise. If the luminance of the picture seems to be incorrect, change the clamp position.

AUTO: Automatic setting mode. Normally set to this

position.

SonG (sync on green): Set to this position if the

black seems too light or greenish.

the picture is too dark or luminance is unstable.
