On cleaning the projection window and the cabinet

• Avoid installing the unit in a location 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.
• Avoid installing the unit in a location near a heat or smoke sensor. Installing in such a location may cause malfunction of the sensor.
• Avoid installing the unit in a very
16
dusty or extremely smoky environment. Otherwise, the air filter
Precautions
• Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning.
• If you rub on the unit with a stained cloth, the cabinet may be scratched.
• If the unit is exposed to volatile materials such as insecticide, or the unit is in contact with a rubber or vinyl resin product for a long period of time, the unit may deteriorate or the coating may come off.
• Do not touch the projection window with bare hands.
• On cleaning the projection window surface: Wipe the projection window gently­with a soft cloth, such as a glass cleaning cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth lightly dampened with water. Never use solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner, or acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or a chemical cleaning cloth.
Page 17
• On cleaning the cabinet: Clean the cabinet gently with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth lightly dampened with mild detergent solution and wrung, followed by wiping with a soft dry cloth. Never use solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner, or acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or a chemical cleaning cloth.

On Illumination

To obtain the best picture, the front of the screen should not be exposed to direct lighting or sunlight.

On Heat Dissipation

On inspection of light source related parts

Since the unit uses a laser, when performing maintenance or inspection of light source related parts, particular attention and a safe environment are necessary. Be sure to consult with qualified Sony personnel.

On disposing used products

Do not dispose the used products and general garbage together. Correctly dispose of used products to avoid harming the environment or the health of yourself and others. Follow the disposal regulations of your area.
The temperature of the projector cabinet may increase during or immediately after use; however, this is not a malfunction.

On 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.

On Fan

Since the projector is equipped with a fan inside to prevent internal temperature from rising, there may be some noise. This is a normal result of the manufacturing process and does not indicate a malfunction. If, however, in a case of abnormal noise, consult with qualified Sony personnel.

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.

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
- 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.

The following describes the projection distance and height from lens center to bottom of screen by each projected screen size. The projection distance is the distance between the front of the lens and the surface of the projected image. 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 lens center to projected image surface). For this unit, the same projection distance calculations apply to both floor and ceiling installation.
