Precautions

On safety

On installation

•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.

•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.

•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.

Caution The projector is equipped with suction holes at the bottom and exhaust holes on the rear. Do not block these holes, or internal heat build-up may occur, causing picture degradation or damage to the projector.

On illumination

On cleaning

Overview

• 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.

• 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.

Features

High brightness, high picture quality

• High brightness Adopting the long service life metal halide lamp and new developed optical system allow high brightness (light output 400 ANSI lumen) and excellent uniformity on the picture.

• High resolution By using three 1.35 inch panels, this projector offers resolution of 600 horizontal TV lines for composite video input.

• Superior color reproduction The superior characteristics of the metal halide lamp and the optical design of the projector allow superior color reproduction.

High portability

This projector comes with convenient features for transportation such as a carrying handle and a Remote Commander pocket on the cabinet to keep the Remote Commander.

Wide (16:9) aspect

Memory function

Flexible setup

Accepts various input signals

Thanks to the panel whose aspect ratio is 16:9, it is possible to project not only ordinary 4:3 but also 16:9 picture. In wide mode, you can enjoy other 4 picture modes, FULL/ZOOM/SUB TITLE/WIDE ZOOM, using whole 1068 × 480 pixels. When AUTO WIDE function is set to ON, the picture is automatically set to wide mode when the letter box signal is received.

This projector has five kinds of memory for each of VIDEO and INPUTA input signal which stores picture condition. You can get an optimum picture by selecting the memory.

This projector is designed to be installed on the table or the ceiling. A 1.6x zoom lens is provided as standard equipment.

You can project pictures from VCRs , 15k RGB video equipment, video cameras and HDTV

equipment.

Battery installation

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.
