interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.

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 — 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.)
4 (EN)
• 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.
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.
Overview
On cleaning
On repacking
• 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.
• 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.

1 Push and slide to open the lid.
2 Install the two size AA (R6) batteries (supplied)
with the correct polarity.
Be sure to install
the battery from
the ’ side.
• The remote control detectors on the projector do not
operate when the Remote Commander is being used
as a wired Remote Commander. If you wish to use
the Remote Commander as a wireless Remote
Commander, be sure to remove the connecting cable
from both the Remote Commander and the projector.
3 Replace the lid.
Notes on batteries
• Be careful that the battery orientation is correct when
inserting batteries.
• Do not mix old battery with new one, or different
types of batteries.
• If you do not intend to use the Remote Commander
for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage
from battery leakage. If a battery has leaked, remove
the batteries, wipe the battery compartment dry and
replace the batteries with new ones.
Notes on wireless Remote Commander
operation
• Be sure that there is nothing to obstruct the infrared
beam between the Remote Commander and the
projector.
• The operation range is limited. The shorter the
distance between the Remote Commander and the
projector, the wider the angle within which the
commander can control the projector.

Vertical positioning (side view)
Adjust the height of the projector so that the center of
the lens is just below the bottom edge of the screen.
Horizontal positioning (top view)
Adjust the horizontal positioning of the projector so
that the lens is aligned with the horizontal center of the
screen.
The distance between the lens and the screen varies depending on the size of the
screen. Use the following table as a guide.
The following table shows the projection distance when the Macintosh 16-inch mode
signal (horizontal 832 × vertical 624 dots) is input.
• When XGA signal is input, the projection distance becomes longer by 1.5%.
• When S VGA (800 × 600 dots) or video signal is input, the projection distance
becomes longer by 4%.
• When VGA (640 × 480 dots) signal is input, the projection distance becomes longer

Connecting with a Computer or a VCR
This section describes how to connect the projector with a computer or a
VCR and external active speakers. For details on how to connect other
equipment, see page 32 (EN).
Also refer to the instruction manuals of the equipment to be connected.
Notes
• This unit accepts the VGA, S VGA, and XGA signals. However, we
recommend you to set the output mode of your computer to the S VGA
mode for the external monitor.
• If you set your computer, such as a note-type IBM PC/AT compatible, to
output the signal to both the display of your computer and the external
monitor, the picture may not appear properly. In such cases, set the output
mode of your computer to output the signal to only the external monitor.
For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with your computer.
When making connections, be sure to:
• turn off all equipment before making any connections.
• use the proper cables for each connection.
• insert the plugs of the cables properly; plugs that are not fully inserted
often generate noise. When pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it out from
the plug, not the cable itself.

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.
