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 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 aim the laser at people or not look into the laser transmitter.

•Do not place your hand or objects near the ventilation holes — the air

coming out is hot.

•Be careful not to catch your fingers by the adjuster when you lift up the

projector. Do not push hard on the top of the projector with the adjuster

out.

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 I /

u

key on the Remote Commander

or on the control panel, 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) on the right side

and ventilation holes (exhaust) on both sides and 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.

Precautions

7 (EN)

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.

Overview

Features

High portability

•Light weight/small size

This projector has come to miniaturized to 3.7 kg (8 lb 3 oz) of mass by

adopting magnesium die-casting body. And a carrying handle is epuipped

with the projector. You can easily carry it with your computer.

High brightness, high picture quality

•High brightness

Adopting the new developed optical system and the 120 W UHP lamp

allow high brightness (light output 500 ANSI lumen) and excellent

uniformity on the picture.

•High resolution

By adopting three 0.9-inch, 480,000-pixel SVGA panels, this projector

offers resolution of 800 × 600 dots for RGB input and 600 horizontal TV

lines for video input.

Simple setup, easy presentation

•Simple setup with external equipment

This projector has 22 kinds of preset data for input signals. You can get a

suitable picture by connecting an equipment with supplied cable.

•Remote Commander with mouse control and laser pointer functions

You can operate a computer with the Remote Commander since the unit

has a build-in mouse receiver. For your presentation, you can use the

laser pointer built in the Remote Commander as well.

Accepts various input signals

•Compatible input signals

This projector accepts video signals of the composite, S video, and

component as well as the VGA

1)

, SVGA

1)

and XGA

1) 2)

signals, which all

can be displayed.

•Compatible with five color systems

NTSC, PAL, SECAM, NTSC 4.43

3)

, or PAL-M color system can be

selected automatically or manually.

with the correct polarity.

3 Replace the lid.

Notes on batteries

•Make sure that the battery orientation is correct when

inserting batteries.

•Do not mix an old battery with a new one, or

different types of batteries.

•If you will not use the Remote Commander for a long

time, remove the batteries to avoid damage from

battery leakage. If batteries have leaked, remove

them, wipe the battery compartment dry and replace

the batteries with new ones.

Notes on Remote Commander operation

•Make sure that there is nothing to obstruct the

infrared beam between the Remote Commander and

the remote control detector on the projector.

•The operation range is limited. The shorter the

distance between the Remote Commander and the

projector is, the wider the angle within which the

commander can control the projector.

Notes

•This unit accepts the VGA, SVGA and XGA signals. However, we

recommend you to set the output mode of your computer to the SVGA

mode for the external monitor.

•If you set your computer, such as a notebook type IBM PC/AT

compatible, to output the signal to both the display of your computer and

the external monitor, the picture of the external monitor 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.
