g Infrared transmitter

About remote commander operation

• Direct the remote commander toward the Remote Control Receiver.

• The shorter the distance between the remote commander and the projector is, the wider the angle within which the remote commander can control the projector becomes.

• Make sure that nothing obstructs the infrared beam between the remote commander and the Remote Control Receiver on the projector.

Notes for connecting this unit and the HDBaseT transmitter

• Ask a professional or Sony dealer to perform wiring. If wiring is not correct, the transmission characteristics of the cable will not be achieved, and image or sound may break up or you may experience unstable performance.

• Connect the cable directly to the HDBaseT transmitter without going through a hub or router.

• Use cables that meet the following conditions.

-CAT5e or higher

Connecting the Projector

-Shielded type (covering connectors)

-Straight wire connection

-Single wire

• When installing the cables, use a cable tester, cable analyzer, or similar device to check if the cables meet the CAT5e or higher requirement. If there is a transit connector between this unit and the HDBaseT transmitter, include it when measuring.

• To reduce the affect of noise, install and use the cable in a manner where it is not rolled up and it is as straight as possible.

• Install the cable away from the other cables (especially the power cable).

• When installing multiple cables, do not bind them and keep the running parallel distance as short as possible.

• The transmittable distance of the cable is 100 m (approx. 328 feet) maximum. If it exceeds 100 m (approx. 328 feet), it may cause the image or the sound to break up, or cause a multifunction in LAN communication. Do not use the HDBaseT transmitter beyond the transmittable distance.

• Inquire about operation or function problems caused by other manufacturer’s devices with the relevant manufacturer.

Notes

*1: • Note that if the projector is used for profit or for public viewing, modifying the original picture

by switching to the aspect mode may constitute an infringement of the rights of authors or producers, which are legally protected.

• Depending on the input signal, setting items for aspect ratio or some other setting items cannot be set in some cases, or changing the aspect ratio setting may have no effect.

• A part of the image may be displayed in black, depending on the setting item.

*2: Available when a computer signal is input from the RGB input terminal (INPUT A/INPUT B). *3: If the projected image includes large amount of black portion around it, the APA function will

not work properly and a part of the image may not be displayed on the screen and also optimum image cannot be obtained, depending on the type of input signal. In this case, adjust the “Phase,” “Pitch,” and “Shift” items manually.

Troubleshooting

Replacing the Lamp

1 Turn off the projector, and disconnect

the AC power cord from a wall outlet.

Replace the lamp with a new one if a message displayed on the projected image (page 75). Use an LMP-E221 projector lamp (not supplied) for replacement.

Caution

• The lamp remains hot after the projector is

turned off. If you touch the lamp, you may

burn your finger. When you replace the lamp, wait for at least an hour after turning off the projector for the lamp to cool sufficiently.

• Do not allow any metallic or inflammable objects into the lamp replacement slot after removing the lamp, otherwise it may cause electrical shock or fire. Do not put your hands into the slot.

Notes

• If the lamp breaks, contact qualified Sony personnel. Do not replace the lamp yourse lf.

• When removing the lamp, be sure to pull it out straight, by holding the designated location. If you touch a part of the lamp other than the designated location, you may be burned or injured. If you pull out the lamp while the projector is tilted, the pieces may scatter if the lamp breaks any may cause injury.

2 When the lamp has cooled

sufficiently, open the lamp cover by loosening 1 screw.

3 Loosen the 3 screws on the lamp (1)

then pull out the lamp by its grab (2).

Grab

Replacing the Lamp

4 Insert the new lamp all the way in until

it is securely in place (1). Tighten the 3 screws (2).

6 Connect the AC power cord to a wall

outlet and turn on the projector.

7 Reset the lamp timer for notification of

the next replacement time. Select “Lamp Timer Reset” on the

Function menu then press the ENTER key. When a message appears, select “Yes” to reset the lamp timer (page 29).

Caution

For the customers in the U.S.A. and Canada

Note

The power will not turn on if the lamp is not secured properly.

5 Close the lamp cover and tighten the

1 screw.

Lamp contains mercury. Dispose according to applicable local, state/ province and federal laws. For additional information, see www.sony.com/mercury

Replacing the Lamp

Cleaning the Air Filter

When a message appears on the projected image indicating time for a filter cleaning, clean the air filter (pages 60, 62). If the dust cannot be removed from the air filter even after cleaning, replace the air filter with a new one. For details on a new air filter, consult with qualified Sony personnel.

Caution

If you continue to use the projector even after the message is displayed, dust may accumulate, clogging it. As a result, the temperature may rise inside the unit, leading to a possible malfunction or fire.

1 Turn off the projector, and disconnect

the AC power cord from the AC outlet.

2 Slide out and remove the air filter

cover from the unit.

Air filter cover

3 Clean the air filter with a vacuum

cleaner.

Pull out and remove the air filter cover, and clean it with a vacuum cleaner.

Claws

4 Reattach the air filter cover to the unit.

Note

Be sure to attach the air filter cover firmly, otherwise it may cause a malfunction.

Projection Distance

The projection distance is the distance between the front of the lens and the surface of the projected image. The following describes the projection distance and height from the center of the lens to edge of screen by each projected screen size. Height H is the height from the bottom of the projected image (top for ceiling mount) to A (determined by drawing a perpendicular line from the center of the lens to projected image surface).
