Precautions
On safety
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
with qualified Sony personnel.
•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 or set the MAIN 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, even if the unit itself has been turned
off.
•When the projector is mounted on the ceiling, the Sony PSS-722/PSS-10
projector suspension support must be used for installation. Read the
installation manual of the PSS-722/PSS-10 carefully, since the ceiling
should be reinforced for safety.
•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 (12 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.
•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.
•Fans are installed inside the projector to prevent internal heat build-up.
The fans produce a humming noise when the power is switched on,
which is normal. Should the noise sound abnormal, please consult
qualified Sony personal.
On illumination
6 Overview
•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 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 cleaning
On CRT burns
•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 or
benzene 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.
When a static picture of a VCR or a computer is displayed for more than
about one hour, a CRT burn may result. This means that an after-image
impression of the static picture remains on the screen even after the picture
has changed. If it is necessary to display the same static picture for more
than one hour, we recommend that you set the CONTR (contrast) control
to the lowest setting.
Also, when a picture of different size is displayed beyond a certain length
of time, an after-image impression of the frame of smaller picture may be
burnt on the screen (such as displaying a 16:9 picture on a 4:3 screen.) To
avoid this, we recommend that you use the same picture size when
possible. However, if it is necessary to use a different picture size, set the
CONTR (contrast) control and the BRT (brightness) control of the smaller
picture to the lowest setting possible. This will minimize the risk of
creating an after-image impression.
If the CRT burns, it must be replaced. In this case, refer to the warranty
provided with this unit. Consult your Sony dealer or Qualified Service
Personnel.
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.
Overview 7
Features
Bright image—light output of 750 lumen
A newly developed phosphor and electron gun provide a high-quality
image with extra sharpness and brightness.
Clear color reproduction—high-quality circuit
A high-quality picture is obtained by combining the use of a three-line
logical comb filter to reduce dot interference and cross color, and the use
of a new chroma transient circuit to improve color sharpness by removing
color blur.
Component signal input
The projector is equipped with a component signal input to accept highquality video format component signals used for TV broadcasting services
including program production.
Wireless and wired remote control
You can operate your projector from a distance with the supplied remote
commander. You can also use the commander as a wired commander by
connecting it with a remote (stereo or monaura) control cable (not
supplied) to the projector.
Illuminated remote commander and control panel
When you press the LIGHT button on the remote commander or you open
the control panel cover, the key indicators are illuminated for proper
operation in low light.
