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 place your hand or objects near the
ventilation holes. The air coming out is
hot.

On preventing internal heat build­up

After you turn off the power with the I/1
(ON/STANDBY) switch, 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) and ventilation holes
(exhaust). 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 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.

Step 1: Installing the Projector

The projector displays pictures output from
a VCR or other device.
The lens shift allows you to have broader
options for placing the projector and
viewing pictures easily.

Before Setting Up the Projector

Unsuitable installation

Do not place the projector in the following
situations, which may cause malfunction
or damage to the projector.

Poorly ventilated location

Leave space of more than 30 cm (117/8 inches)
around the unit.

Hot and humid

Installing the projector in such a location
may cause a malfunction of the unit due to
moisture condensation or rise in
temperature.

Near a heat or smoke sensor

Malfunction of the sensor may occur.

Very dusty and extremely smoky
locations

Install in a location away from walls

Allow at least 30 cm (11 7/8 inches)
between the projector and walls.

Locations subject to direct cool or
warm air from an air-conditioner

15° or more

Avoid using the projector tilted at an angle
of more than 15 degrees.
Do not install the projector anywhere other
than on a level surface or on the ceiling.
Failing to set this mode when using the
projector at high altitudes may result in
uneven color uniformity and reducing the
reliability of the effects of the lamp.

When installing the unit at altitudes

When using the projector at an altitude of 1,500
m or higher, set “Cooling Setting” in the Setup

menu to “High” (1 page 46). Failing to

set this mode when using the projector at high
altitudes could have adverse effects, such as
reducing the reliability of certain components.

Positioning the Projector and a screen

The installation distance between the projector and a screen varies depending on the size
of the screen.

1 Determine the installation position of the projector and screen.

You can obtain a good quality picture if you position the projector with the center of
the lens within the areas indicated in the gray areas in the illustration. Use the values
a, b and c in the table on page 15 as a guide.

To project an image, connect video equipment to the projector. (1 page 17)

Note

When using a screen with an uneven surface, stripes pattern may rarely appear on the screen
depending on the distance between the screen and the projector or the zooming magnifications. This
is not a malfunction of the projector.

16

Step 2: Connecting the Projector

When making connections, be sure to do the following:

• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.

• Use the proper cables for each connection.

• Insert the cable plugs properly; poor connection at the plugs may cause a malfunction or
poor picture quality. When pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it out from the plug, not
the cable itself.

• Refer to the operating instructions of the connected equipment.

Lamp Timer Indicates how long the lamp has been turned on (total usage).

Notes

• fH (horizontal frequency) and fV(vertical frequency) may not be displayed depending
on the input signal used on the projector.

• You cannot change the displays listed above.

About the Preset Memory No.

This projector has 38 types of preset data for input signals (the preset memory). When the
preset signal is input, the projector automatically detects the signal type and recalls the
data for the signal from the preset memory to adjust it to an optimum picture. The memory
number and signal type of that signal are displayed in the Information menu.
You can also adjust the preset data through the Screen menu.
This projector also contains 20 different user memories beside the preset memories used
for inputting computer signals. You can save input signals that have not been preset on
these user memories.
When an unpreset signal is input for the first time, a memory number is displayed as 0.
When you adjust the data of the signal in the Screen menu, it will be registered to the
projector. If more than 20 user memories are registered, the newest memory always
overwrites the oldest one.
See the chart on page 64 to find if the signal is registered to the preset memory.

Note

When the aspect ratio of input signal does not match the screen size, a part of the screen is displayed in black.

About the HDMI Control

What is the HDMI Control?

HDMI Control is an HDMI standard mutual
control function which uses the HDMI CEC
(Consumer Electronics Control)
specification. By connecting a variety of
HDMI control compatible equipment such
as a DVD recorder, an AV amplifier, etc.,
with an HDMI cable, you can operate your
equipment synchronizing with the HDMI
control compatible equipment connected to
the equipment. When using the HDMI
Control function, be sure to assign the
appropriate connection and settings.

Connecting an HDMI control
compatible equipment

Connect the projector with an HDMI control
compatible equipment using an HDMI
cable. Be sure to use a cable that has
acquired the HDMI logo for your
connection.

Note

The HDMI Control function is available
only between Sony HDMI control
compatible equipment.

HDMI Control

• System Standby
You can power off the projector and the
HDMI control compatible equipment
connected to the projector at the same
time.

• One Touch Play
When the HDMI control compatible
equipment connected to the projector is
played back, the projector is also
automatically powered on, and its input
setting is synchronized at the same time.

Notes

• To operate the connected equipment, be
sure the equipment is HDMI control
compatible and assign the appropriate
settings to use the HDMI Control function.

• Depending on the connected equipment,
the HDMI Control function may not work
appropriately. For the settings of the
connected equipment, refer to the
operating instructions of the equipment.

Others

Setting the HDMI Control

Be sure to assign the appropriate
connections for both the projector and the
HDMI control compatible equipment
connected to the projector. For settings of
the projector, see 1 page 48. For settings of
the HDMI control compatible equipment
connected to the projector, refer to its
operational instructions.

Cleaning the Air Filter

When “Please clean the filter.” appears on
the screen, you should clean the air filter.
The air filter should be cleaned every 1,500
hours. This value varies depending on the
environment or how the projector is used.
1,500 hours are approximate.
After washing the air filter with a mild
detergent solution, dry it in a shaded place.

Notes

• When you clean the air filter, make sure you
do not damage it.
For details on how to attach and remove the
air filter, see “Replacing the Lamp and the
Air Filter and cleaning the Ventilation holes
(intake)” Steps 7 to 10. (1 page 59)

• When you remove the air filter, be careful
not to let any dust fall into the projector.

• Cleaning the air filter is crucial to maintain
the good performance of the projector or to
prevent malfunction to it. When a warning
message for cleaning the air filter appears,
clean the air filter immediately.
