Precautions

B Overview

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.

• Be careful not to catch your fingers by the

adjuster when you adjust the height of 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 / 1

key, 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 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.

On LCD projector

• The LCD projector is manufactured using

high-precision technology. You may,

however, see tiny black points and/or

bright points (red, blue, or green) that

continuously appear on the LCD projector.

This is a normal result of the

manufacturing process and does not

indicate a malfunction.

GB

Notes on Installation

Overview

Notes on Installation

Do not install the projector in the following

situations. These installations may cause

malfunction or damage to the projector.

Poorly ventilated

• 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.

• When the internal heat builds up due to the

block-up, the temperature sensor will

function with the message “High temp.!

Lamp off in 1 min.” The power will be

turned off automatically after one minute.

• Leave space of more than 30 cm (11

7

/8

inches) around the unit.

• Be careful that the ventilation holes may

inhale tininess such as a piece of paper.

Highly heated and humid

• Avoid installing the unit in a location

where the temperature or humidity is very

high, or temperature is very low.

• To avoid moisture condensation, do not

install the unit in a location where the

temperature may rise rapidly.

Very dusty

Avoid installing the unit in a location where

there is a lot of dust; otherwise, the air filter

will be obstructed. The dust blocking the air

through the filter may cause raising the

internal heat of the projector. Clean it up

periodically.

When using the projector at an altitude of

1,500 m or higher, turn on “High

Altitude Mode” in the INSTALL SETTING

menu. Failing to set this mode when using

the projector at high altitudes could have

adverse effects, such as reducing

the reliability of certain components.

Unsuitable Installation

Usage in High Altitude

GB

Features

Do not use the projector under the following

conditions.

Toppling the unit.

Avoid using as the unit topples over on its

side. It may cause malfunction.

Tilting right/left

Avoid using as the unit tilts more than 20

degrees. Do not install the unit other than on

the floor or ceiling. These installations may

cause malfunction.

Blocking the ventilation holes

Avoid using something to cover over the

ventilation holes (exhaust/intake);

otherwise, the internal heat may build up.

When using a screen with an uneven surface,

stripes pattern may rarely appear on the screen

depending on the distance between the screen

and the projector or the zooming

magnifications. This is not a malfunction of the

projector.

Features

High brightness, high picture

quality

• High brightness

This projector is equipped with a high-

efficiency optical system made possible

by adopting Sony’s new proprietary

optical system. Because the VPL-PX40

utilizes a newly developed high N.A. LCD

panel with a microlens and a 265W UHP

lamp, it can reproduce bright images at

3500 ANSI lumens, while the VPL-PX35

with no microlens can reproduce bright

images at 2600 ANSI lumens.

•High resolution

Three 0.99-inch, about 790,000 pixel,

XGA panels provide a resolution of 1024

× 768 dots for RGB input and 750

horizontal TV lines for video input.

Easy Setup

• Permits setup on a front-to-back slope

This projector can be set up on a slope of

up to 90 degrees up or down. The

projector also permits rear projection

using a mirror.

• Optional lenses

The projector can be adapted to a variety

of different types of installations by using

one of three lenses (sold separately), two

with a short focus and one with a long

focus.

• Direct Power On/Power Off function

The AC power for the entire system can be

turned on and off by means of a breaker or

other switch.

• System expandability (network

compatibility)

In addition to conventional serial control

using an RS-232C connector, this

projector also supports connection to an

network environment through an Ethernet

connector. This function can be used to

control multiple projectors and also makes

it possible to acquire status information

from each projector, such as the length of

time the lamp has been on.

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

• Do not aim the laser at people.

Notes on Remote Commander

operation

• Make sure that nothing to obstruct the

Connecting the Projector

When you connect the projector, make sure to:

• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.

• Use the proper cables for each connection.

• Insert the cable plugs firmly; loose connections may increase noise and

reduce performance of picture signals. When pulling out a cable, be sure to

pull it out from the plug, not the cable itself.

To connect the projector, refer to the illustrations on the next and the

following pages.

This section describes how to connect the projector to a computer.

For more information, refer to the computer’s instruction manual.

• The projector accepts 15k RGB, VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, SXGA+ and UXGA

(60 Hz) signals. However, we recommend that you set the output mode of your

computer to XGA mode for the external monitor.

• If you set your computer, such as a notebook type, to output the signal to both your

computer’s display and the external monitor, the picture of the projector may not

appear properly. Set your computer to output the signal to only the external monitor.

For details, refer to the computer’s operating instructions supplied with your

computer.

• This projector is compatible with a DDC2B (Digital Data Channel 2B). If your

computer is compatible with a DDC, turn the projector on according to the following

procedures.

1 Connect the projector to the computer by using the supplied HD D-sub 15-pin cable

or DVI cable.
