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 ?/1
(ON/STANDBY) switch, do not disconnect
the unit from the wall outlet while the
cooling fan is still running.
Caution
This unit 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 unit.
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.
On watching 3D video images
Safety precautions
• You should only use the 3D glasses for
watching 3D video images.
• If you observe flickering or flashing, turn
off the lighting in the room.
• Not for use by children without proper
adult supervision.
• Be careful not to pinch your fingers in
hinges of the 3D glasses when bending the
temple frames.
• Do not drop or modify these 3D glasses.
• If these glasses are broken, keep broken
pieces away from your mouth or eyes.
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.
Also, when you use multiple LCD projectors
to project onto a screen, even if they are of
the same model, the color reproduction
among projectors may vary, since color
balance may be set differently from one
projector to the next.
On condensation
If the room temperature where the projector
is installed changes rapidly, or if the
projector is moved suddenly from a cold to a
warm place, condensation in the projector
may occur. As the condensation may cause
malfunction, be careful in adjusting
temperature settings of the air conditioner. If
condensation occurs, leave the projector
turned on for about two hours before use.

Précautions
Sécurité
• S’assurer que la tension de service de votre
projecteur est identique à la tension locale.
• Si du liquide ou un objet quelconque
venait à pénétrer dans le boîtier,
débrancher le projecteur et le faire vérifier
par un technicien qualifié avant la remise
en service.
• Débrancher le projecteur de la prise
murale en cas de non-utilisation pendant
plusieurs jours.
• Pour débrancher le cordon, le tirer par la
fiche. Ne jamais tirer sur le cordon luimême.
• La prise murale doit se trouver à proximité
du projecteur et être facile d’accès.
• Le projecteur n’est pas déconnecté de la
source d’alimentation tant qu’il reste
branché à la prise murale, même s’il a été
mis hors tension.
• Ne pas regarder dans l’objectif lorsque la
lampe est allumée.
• Ne pas placer la main ou des objets à
proximité des orifices de ventilation. L’air
expulsé est brûlant.
Prévenir l’accumulation de chaleur
interne
Après avoir mis l’appareil hors tension au
moyen de l’interrupteur ?/1 (marche/veille),
ne pas le débrancher de la prise murale tant
que le ventilateur de refroidissement tourne.
Mise en garde
Cet appareil est doté d’orifices de ventilation
(prise d’air et sortie d’air). Ne pas obstruer
ces orifices et ne rien placer à proximité car
ceci risquerait de provoquer une surchauffe
interne pouvant entraîner une altération de
l’image ou un endommagement de
l’appareil.
Remballage
Conserver le carton d’emballage original et
le matériel d’emballage ; ils seront très utiles
si l’on doit un jour expédier l’appareil. Pour
assurer une protection maximale, remballer
l’appareil tel qu’il avait été emballé en usine.
À propos du visionnage d’images
vidéo 3D
Consignes de sécurité
• Vous devez seulement porter les lunettes
3D pour regarder des images vidéo 3D.
• Si vous observez des scintillements ou des
éclairs, éteignez l’éclairage.
• Cet appareil n’est pas destiné à être utilisé
par des enfants sans la surveillance d’un
adulte.
• Veillez à ne pas vous pincer les doigts dans
les charnières des lunettes 3D lorsque vous
repliez les branches.
• Ne laissez pas tomber ou ne modifiez pas
ces lunettes 3D.
• Si ces lunettes sont cassées, éloignez les
débris de la bouche ou des yeux.
Projecteur LCD
Le projecteur LCD est fabriqué au moyen
d’une technologie de haute précision. Il se
peut toutefois que vous constatiez que de
petits points noirs et/ou lumineux (rouges,
bleus ou verts) apparaissent continuellement
sur le projecteur LCD. Ceci est un résultat
normal du processus de fabrication et n’est
pas le signe d’un dysfonctionnement.
Si vous utilisez plusieurs projecteurs LCD
pour projeter sur un écran, la reproduction
des couleurs peut varier selon les
projecteurs, même s’ils sont du même
modèle. Ceci est dû au fait que l’équilibre
des couleurs peut être réglé différemment
sur les projecteurs.

Remarque concernant la
condensation
Si la pièce dans laquelle le projecteur est
installé subit de brusques changements de
températures ou si vous déplacez le
projecteur d’un endroit froid à un endroit
chaud, de la condensation peut se former à
l’intérieur du projecteur. Étant donné que la
condensation peut provoquer un
dysfonctionnement, réglez la température de
votre climatiseur avec précaution. Si de la
condensation se forme, laissez le projecteur
allumé pendant deux heures avant de
l’utiliser.
Sony ne peut être tenue responsable de
tout dommage, de quelque nature que
ce soit, résultant d'une incapacité à
mettre en place des mesures de sécurité
adaptées pour les dispositifs de
transmission, de fuites de données
inévitables dues aux spécifications de
transmission ou de tout autre problème
de sécurité.
