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.
Safety precautions when using 3D
Glasses
Warning
• Do not put the 3D Glasses in a fire.
• Do not disassemble the 3D Glasses.
• Do not use, charge, store, or leave the 3D
Glasses near a fire, or in places with a high
temperature, e.g., in direct sunlight, or in
sun-heated cars.
• Use only the supplied USB cable.
• Do not allow water or foreign material to
enter the 3D Glasses.
Safety precautions
• Use only the type of 3D glasses included
with this unit. You should only use the 3D
glasses for watching 3D video images. Do
not use the 3D Glasses with other
equipment, such as TV.
• 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.
GB

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.

About the Preset Memory No.
This projector has 31 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 analog 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 77 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.

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

(intake)” Steps 7 to 10. (1 page 73)
• 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.
Fitting the Lens Cap
When fitting the lens cap onto the lens,

Cleaning
Specifications
Cleaning the lens
The lens surface is especially treated to
reduce reflection of light.
As incorrect maintenance may impair the
performance of the projector, take care with
respect to the following:
• Wipe the lens gently with a soft cloth such
as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth.
• Stubborn stains may be removed with a
soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth or glass
cleaning cloth lightly dampened with
water.
• Never use solvent such as alcohol,
benzene or thinner, or acid, alkaline or
abrasive detergent, or chemical cleaning
cloth, as they will damage the lens surface.
Cleaning the cabinet
• To remove dust from the cabinet, wipe
gently with a soft cloth. If dust is
persistent, wipe with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with a diluted mild detergent
solution.
• Never use any type of abrasive pad,
alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or
volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene,
thinner or insecticide.
• Using such materials or maintaining
prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl
materials may result in damage to the
screen surface and cabinet material.

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 I/1 (marche/veille),
ne pas le débrancher de la prise murale tant
que le ventilateur de refroidissement tourne.
Mise en garde
Le projecteur 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
du projecteur.
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.
Consignes de sécurité relatives à
l’utilisation des lunettes 3D
Avertissement
• Ne jetez pas les Lunettes 3D au feu.
• Ne démontez pas les Lunettes 3D.
• N’utilisez pas, ne chargez pas, ne rangez
pas et ne laissez pas les Lunettes 3D ou la

la température est élevée, notamment sous
les rayons directs du soleil ou dans un
véhicule en plein soleil.
• Utilisez uniquement le câble USB fourni.
• Empêchez toute pénétration d’eau ou de
corps étranger dans les Lunettes 3D.
Consignes de sécurité
• Utilisez uniquement les lunettes 3D
fournies avec cet appareil. Vous devez
seulement porter les lunettes 3D pour
regarder des images vidéo 3D. N’utilisez
pas les lunettes 3D avec un autre appareil,
par exemple un téléviseur.
• 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

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
FR
5
Page 96
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.
