Precautions
Warning
The Installation Manual contained in the
CD-ROM is for dealers.
If customers perform the installation
described in this manual, an accident may
occur, causing serious injury. Never install it
by yourself. For installation, be sure to
consult with a Sony dealer.
On safety
• 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 Sony 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 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.
• 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.
• Be careful not to catch your fingers by the
adjuster when you adjust the height of the
unit. Do not push hard on the top of the
unit with the adjuster out.
• Be sure to grasp both sides of the unit with
both hands when carrying the unit.
• When you set the angle of projection to
more than ±20°, read the Installation
Manual for Dealers throughly for safe
installation.
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 unit in a room
where floor and walls are not of lightreflecting 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 buildup
The unit is equipped with ventilation holes
(intake) at the bottom and ventilation holes
(exhaust) at the rear. Do not block or place
anything near these holes, or internal heat
build-up may occur, causing picture
degradation or damage to the unit.
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.
• Replace the both air filters whenever you
replace the lamp.
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.
Precautions
5
On LCD projector
The LCD projector is manufactured using
high-precision technology. You may,
however, see tiny black points and/or bright
points (red, blue, or green) that continuously
appear on the LCD projector. This is a
normal result of the manufacturing process
and does not indicate a malfunction.
Notes on Installation
and Usage
Unsuitable Installation
Do not install the unit in the following
situations. These installations may cause malfunction or damage to the unit.
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
inches) around the unit.
• Be careful that the ventilation holes may
inhale tininess such as a piece of paper.

Notes on Installation and Usage
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.
Subject to direct cool or warm air
from an air-conditioner
Installing in such a location may cause
malfunction of the unit due to moisture
condensation or rise in temperature.
Near a heat or smoke sensor
Malfunction of the sensor may be caused.
Very dusty, extremely smoky
Note on the screen
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 unit or the zooming
magnifications. This is not a malfunction of
the unit.
Unsuitable Conditions
Do not use the unit under the following
conditions.
Do not topple the unit
Avoid using as the unit topples over on its
side. It may cause malfunction.
Do not tilt right/left
Avoid installing the unit in a very dusty or
extremely smoky environment. Otherwise,
the air filter will become obstructed, and this
may cause a malfunction of the unit or
damage it. Dust preventing the air passing
through the filter may cause a rise in the
internal temperature of the unit. If the
message for replacing the air filter appears,
replace both filters with new ones.
Refer to “Replacing the Air Filters” on page
42 for how to replace.
Usage in High Altitude
When using the unit at an altitude of 1,500 m
or higher, set the “High Altitude Mode” to
“On” in the Setup menu. Failing to set this
mode when using the unit at high altitudes
could have adverse effects, such as reducing
the reliability of certain components.
Avoid using as the unit tilts more than 20
degrees. Do not install the unit other than on
the floor or ceiling. These installations may
cause malfunction.
Do not block the ventilation holes
Avoid using something to cover over the
ventilation holes (exhaust/intake);
otherwise, the internal heat may build up.
Notes on Installation and Usage
7
Do not place a blocking object just
in front of the lens
Do not place any object just in front of the
lens that may block the light during
projection. Heat from the light may damage
the object. Use the PIC MUTING key on the
Remote Commander to cut off the picture.
Do not use the Security bar for
transporting or installation
Use the Security bar at the side of the
projector for a purpose of preventing theft,
by attaching a commercially available theft
prevention cable for example. If you lift the
projector by holding the Security bar, or
hang the projector by using this bar, it may
cause the projector to fall or be damaged.

• Make sure that nothing obstructs the
infrared beam between the Remote
Commander and the remote control
detector on the projector. Direct the
Remote Commander toward the front or
rear remote control detector.
• 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 becomes.

Installing the Projector
Connecting the
Projector
When you connect the projector,
make sure to:
• Turn off all equipment before making any
connections.
• Use the proper cables for each connection.
• Insert the cable plugs firmly; loose
connections may increase noise and
reduce performance of picture signals.
When pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it
out by the plug, not the cable itself.
When connecting to a LAN using a LAN
cable, see “Operating Instructions for
Network” stored on the CD-ROM.
To remove the connector covers
Before connection, remove the connector
covers on both sides of the lens.
First remove the two screws on the bottom of
each connector cover, and then lift up the
bottom side of the cover as in the illustration.
The connector covers are connected with the
main unit by the fall-prevention wires.
