6 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 have your fingers caught

by the adjuster. The powered tilt adjuster

of this unit automatically extends when the

power is turned on, and is put away

automatically when the power is turned

off. Do not touch the unit while the

adjuster is in operation. Adjust the

powered tilt adjuster carefully after its

automatic operation is completed.

• Do not spread a cloth or paper under the

unit.

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 unit 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 unit 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 LCD data projector

• The LCD data 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 data

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 unit.

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.

Subject to direct cool or warm air

from an air-conditioner

Installing in such a location may cause

malfunction of the unit due to moisture

condensation or rise in temperature.

Near a heat or smoke sensor

Malfunction of the sensor may be caused.

Very dusty, extremely smoky

Avoid installing the unit in a very dusty or

extremely smoky environment. Otherwise,

the air filter will become obstructed, and this

may cause a malfunction of the unit or

damage it. Dust preventing the air passing

through the filter may cause a rise in the

internal temperature of the unit. Clean the

filter periodically.

Unsuitable Installation

GB

8 Notes on Installation

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 the unit to the right or left

Avoid tilting the unit to an angle of 15°, and

avoid installing the unit in any way other

than placing on the floor or suspending from

the ceiling. Such installation may cause

color shading or shorten the lamp life

excessively.

Blocking the ventilation holes

Avoid using a thick-piled carpet or anything

that covers the ventilation holes (exhaust/

intake); otherwise, the internal heat may

build up.

For details on the ventilation holes (intake/

exhaust), see “Location and Function of

Controls” on page 11.

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.

Note on carrying the projector

The unit is manufactured using high-

precision technology. When transporting the

unit stored in the carrying case, do not drop

the unit or subject it to shock, as this may

cause damage. When storing the unit in the

carrying case, disconnect the AC power cord

and all other connecting cables, and store the

supplied accessories in a pocket of the

carrying case.

Note on the screen

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

Overview

Features

High brightness, high picture

quality

High brightness

Adopting Sony's unique new optical system

that incorporates newly developed LCD

panels provides a high-efficiency optical

system. It allows the 190 W UHP lamp to

give a light output of 3000ANSI lumen.

High picture quality

Three super-high-aperture 0.79-inch XGA

panels with approximately 790,000-pixel

micro-lens array, produce a resolution of

1024 × 768 dots (horizontal/vertical) for

RGB input, and 750 horizontal TV lines for

video input.

Quiet presentation environment

Low fan noise is achieved and offensive

sound to the ear is also reduced, allowing

you to run an optimum presentation even in

a quiet environment.

Easy setup and simple operation

Intelligent Auto-setup function

Simply press the power key, and the

projector automatically performs the setups

required before use. The projector opens the

lens protector, corrects the V Keystone,

detects a signal, and sets optimum

conditions for projection.

Powered zoom/focus equipped

The projector is equipped with a powered

zoom and powered focus lens, allowing you

to adjust the size and focus of an image with

the Remote Commander away from the

projector.

Short focal lens equipped

The projection distance is very short,

approximately 2.4 m (7.8 feet), when

projecting an 80-inch image, which allows

projection on a larger screen even in a

limited space.

Side Shot

The projector supports the Side Shot feature

(horizontal trapezoidal correction function),

enabling projection from the side of the

screen. Installation availability becomes

wider.

Off & Go feature

The cooling fan built in the projector will

work even after turning the power off and

the power cord is disconnected. This enables

you to move the projector to another location

immediately after turning it off.

Versatile installation capability

Capable of floor, ceiling or tilt

installation

In addition to the front floor or ceiling

installation, you can install the projector by

tilting it 90 degrees at the rear or 90 degrees

in front.

Direct Power On/Off function

The AC power of the entire system can be

directly turned on/off with a breaker or other

switch without pressing the power key on

the projector.
