Precautions

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 personnel before operating it further.

¥Unplug the unit from the wall outlet or set the MAIN 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, 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 Ñ the air coming out is hot.

On installation

¥When the projector is mounted on the ceiling, the Sony PSS-500 Projector Suspension Support must be used for 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 10 cm (4 inches) between the wall and the projector. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that the temperature near the installation location is not excessive.

¥If you use the rear adjuster in a warm environment, the exhaust may be inhaled into the projector through the ventilation holes at the bottom, causing the internal temperature to rise, which activates the protection circuit. Install the projector so that the exhaust is not blocked. (See the illustration below.)

¥Install the projector on the floor or ceiling. Any other installation causes a malfunction such as color irregularity or shortening 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.

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

4 (EN)

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 you turn off the power with the POWER key on the control panel or the Remote Commander, do not press the MAIN POWER switch while the cooling fan is still running.

Caution

The projector is equipped with ventilation holes (intake) at the bottom and ventilation holes (exhaust) on 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 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.

¥Clean the filter at regular intervals.

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.

CLAMP is used as a standard for setting the black level of a picture correctly. The standard position of the clamp depends on the kind of sync. signal being used. Normally, the projector CPU judges the signal and sets the position automatically. However, the CPU can misjudge the signal because of noise. If the luminance of the picture seems to be incorrect (too dark, the black color is too light, or the luminance is unstable) the clamp position may need to be changed.

AUTO: Automatic setting mode. Normally set to this position.

SonG: Set to this position if the black seems too light or greenish.

H/C: Set to this position if the picture is too dark or luminance is unstable.

Note

If the luminance is still incorrect after changing the clamp setting, check the input signal and the connections.

COLOR TEMP

Adjusts the color temperature.
