Precautions

Warning

The Installation Manual contained in the CD-ROM is for dealers.

If customers perform the installation described in this manual, an accident may occur, causing serious injury. Never install it by yourself. For installation, be sure to consult with a Sony dealer.

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 Sony 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 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.

•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 unit. Do not push hard on the top of the unit with the adjuster out.

•Be sure to grasp both sides of the unit with both hands when carrying the unit.

•When you set the angle of projection to more than ±20°, read the Installation Manual for Dealers throughly for safe installation.

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 buildup

•After you turn off the power with the I / 1 key on the control panel or on the Remote Commander, do not disconnect the unit from the wall outlet while the cooling fan is still running.

•Do not disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet while the fan is still running. (For dealers)

Caution

The unit is equipped with ventilation holes (intake) at the bottom and ventilation holes (exhaust) at the rear. Do not block or place anything near these holes, or internal heat build-up may occur, causing picture degradation or damage to the unit.

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 whenever you replace the lamp.
