Precautions
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.

•Avoid using an extension cord with a low voltage limited since it may cause the short-circuit and physical incidents.

•To carry the projector, be sure to use the carrying handle. Do not hold other parts of the projector, especially the lens, nor catch your finger between the handle, floor, and the projector.

•Do not catch your finger between the unit and surface of the floor when moving the projector installed on the floor.

•Be careful not to catch your finger in the cooling fan.

•Do not carry the projector with the cabinet on and with its cover open.

On installation

•When the projector is mounted on the ceiling, the Sony PSS-610 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 30 cm (11 7/8 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.

•Install the projector on the floor or ceiling. Any other installation causes a mulfunction such as color irregularity or shortening lamp life.

•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.

•Be sure to secure the cabinet cover firmly when installing to the ceiling firmly.

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 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.

Caution

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