Precautions

On safety

•Operate the unit on 200 – 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.

•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 or set the POWER switch to OFF 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 and the main POWER switch is set to ON.

•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.

•Have at least four people carry and handle the

projector, to avoid accidents or injury.

•Avoid using an extension cord with a low voltage limit, as it may cause short-circuiting and physical injury.

•To carry the projector, be sure to use the carrying handles. Do not hold other parts of the projector, especially the lens, nor catch your finger between the handle, floor, and the projector.

•Do not catch your finger between the unit and surface of the floor when moving the projector installed on the floor.

•Be careful not to catch your finger in the cooling fan.

•Do not carry the projector by holding the cover of the

cabinet.

•Do not carry the projector with the cabinet on and with its cover open.

On installation

•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. Leave space of more than 80 cm (31 the projector. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that the temperature near the installation location is not excessive.

•Install the projector on the floor or hang it from the ceiling. Any other installation causes a malfunction such as color irregularity or a shorten lamp life.

•Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or humidity, mechanical vibration or shock.

/2 inches) between the wall and

•To avoid moisture condensation, do not install the unit in a location where the temperature may rise rapidly.

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 projector in a room where floor and walls are not of light-reflecting 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 build-up

After turning off the power, the cooling fan runs for about 15 minutes while the ON indicator flashes in green.

Caution

The projector is equipped with ventilation holes (intake) at the front and right/left side, and ventilation holes (exhaust) at the left side. 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 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.

•Have the lamp filters and air filter inside the unit cleaned regularly by qualified Sony personnel. If the filters are clogged, internal heat may build up and the power may be turned off automatically.

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.

Location and Function of Controls

Features

High brightness, high picture quality

• High brightness

The combination of a 2 kW arc Xenon lamp and Digital Light Processing technology, provides superb light output of 10,000 ANSI lumen while assuring excellent uniformity on the entire screen.

• High resolution

Thanks to use of three SXGA-resolution Digital Micromirror Device approximately 1,300,000 pixels, the projector can project the sharp picture with the resolution of 1280 × 1024 pixels.

• DRC (Digital Reality Creation)

The DRC technology allows you to obtain a finer, more detailed picture with four-times higher density than the conventional video picture.

• 2-3 Pull-Down technology

The 2-3 Pull-Down technology allows you to obtain a smooth picture movement when playing back movies or other video sources on film. To activate the 2-3 Pull-Down technology, set FILM to ON in the PICTURE CTRL menu. (Effective for the NTSC PAL-M, 15 k RGB (60 Hz) and 525/60 signals only.)

Accepts various input signals

This projector has a built-in high performance scan converter which converts the input signals to display the 15 k RGB, DTV, HDTV, VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA and UXGA (fV = up to 75 Hz) signals as well as the composite video The projector accepts a wide range of HDTV/DTV signals as shown in the chart below.

System expandability and versatility

The projector has RS-232C/422A/PJ COM interface connectors for communication. By combining the interface boards and signal interface switcher (not supplied), the projection systems can be greatly expanded. The projector also has the group and device index functions for using multiple projectors in one system.

Easy and flexible setup

• Sony’s original APA (Auto Pixel Alignment) function

You can obtain the clearest picture automatically by simply pressing the APA key when the signal is input from a computer.

• Easy setup with external equipment

This projector has 49 preset data for input signals in the memory. You can get a clear picture on the screen simply by connecting equipment and pressing the APA key. (For the signals that are not preset, adjustment may be necessary to get a clear picture.)

• Flexible setup

The lens shift function allows you to install the projector in a wide range of locations, without worrying about keystone distortion (the picture going out of square). The power focus and power zoom functions also let you change the size of the projection screen without having to move the projector.

Overview

Digital HDTV signals are also acceptable when the optional IFB-LE100 interface board is installed.

1) The optional IFB-12A or IFB-1000 interface board is required for displaying the composite video and S video signals.

2) Each of the frame rates is also compatible with 1/1.001.

qa CONTROL S IN/OUT jacks (stereo minijack)

Connect to the control S jacks of other Sony equipment.

CONTROL S IN/PLUG IN POWER (DC 5 V

output) jack: Connects to the CONTROL S OUT

jack of the supplied Remote Commander when using as a wired Remote Commander. In this case, you do not need to install the batteries in the Remote Commander, since the power is supplied from this jack.

CONTROL S OUT jack: Outputs the control S

signal.

Note

When connecting the remote commander cable to the CONTROL S IN jack, the remote control detectors will not function.

qs TRIG (trigger output) jack (monaural minijack)

The signal is transmitted from this jack to the connected equipment whether the projector is on or off. (This is not a power source for external equipment.) When the power is on, the TRIG jack transmits approximately 12 V trigger signal to external equipment connected to the projector. This signal is useful when you connect a system integrator, etc., to the projector; you can pull down an electric screen, draw an electric curtain, or dim lights at the same time as you turn on the projector power. (You cannot use the trigger signal as a power source.) This jack outputs 0 V DC when the power is off.
