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 ?/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.

About the Preset Memory No.

This projector has 38 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 75 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.

Setting the Control for HDMI

About the Control for
HDMI

What is the Control for HDMI?

Control for HDMI is an HDMI standard
mutual control function which uses the
HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics
Control) specification. By connecting a
variety of Sony Control for HDMI
compatible equipment such as a hard disk
Blu-ray Disc player, a DVD player/recorder,
an AV amplifier, etc. to a Sony Control for
HDMI compatible TV or a projector with an
HDMI cable, the equipment connected will
synchronize with the TV or the projector
when either is operated.

Using the Control for HDMI
function

• Connect and assign the settings of each
equipment appropriately.

• Do not turn off the main power of the
equipment.

• Set the input setting of the projector to the
HDMI input which the equipment is
connected.

• Check if the picture from the equipment
appears appropriately on the projector.

• The Control for HDMI function is
available only between Sony Control for
HDMI compatible equipment.

Connecting a Control for HDMI
compatible equipment

Use an HDMI cable to connect the projector
and the Control for HDMI compatible
equipment. Use a cable that has acquired the
HDMI logo.

Be sure to assign the appropriate
connections for both the projector and the
Control for HDMI compatible equipment
connected to the projector. For settings of
the projector, see page 54. For settings of the
Control for HDMI compatible equipment
connected to the projector, refer to its
operational instructions. When a Sony
equipment that is compatible with the
“Control for HDMI - Easy Setting” is
connected to the HDMI input of the
projector, if you turn the Control for HDMI
function setting of the projector on, the
Control for HDMI function setting of the
connected equipment will also turn on.

What you can do with the
Control for HDMI

• Basic operations (playback, stop, menu
operations, etc.) of the connected
equipment is available by using the remote
control of the projector.

• By turning on or playing back the
connected equipment, the projector will
turn on and the input setting will switch to
the terminal of the connected equipment
automatically.

• By turning the power of the projector off,
the power of the connected equipment will
also turn off automatically.

• By selecting equipment connected to the
projector desired to operate with SYNC
MENU button on the remote control of the
projector, the power of the selected
equipment will turn on and the input will
switch to the terminal of the connected
equipment automatically.

• By changing the language setting of the
projector, the language setting of the
connected equipment will also change to
the same language automatically.

Notes

• The available functions of the Control for
HDMI differ depending on each
equipment. Refer to the operating
instruction of each equipment.

• Some synchronization may be available
with equipment of other brands with
similar functions, but it is not guaranteed.

About the x.v.Color

• “x.v.Color” is a promotion name given to
the products that have the capability to
realize a wide color space based on the
xvYCC specifications and is a trademark
of Sony Corporation.

• xvYCC is an international standard of the
technical specifications of the extended­gamut color space for video signals. The
color gamut of xvYCC is wider than the
one of sRGB that is used with the current
television system.

Black points and bright points (red,
blue, or green) on the screen

The projector is manufactured using high­precision technology.
You may, however, see tiny black points
and/or bright points (red, blue, or green) that
continuously appear on the projector.
This is a normal result of the manufacturing
process and does not indicate a malfunction.

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.

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.

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.

d’avoir accès à de plus grandes options pour
positionner le projecteur et visualiser les
images plus facilement.

Avant d’installer le projecteur

Installation déconseillée

Ne pas placer le projecteur dans les
positions suivantes, ce qui risquerait de
provoquer un dysfonctionnement ou
d’endommager l’appareil.
