Precautions

Precautions

• 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 

rear foot (adjustable) when you adjust the 
height of the unit. Do not push hard on the 
top of the unit with the rear foot 
(adjustable) out.

• Avoid using an extension cord with a low 

voltage limited since it may cause the 
short-circuit and physical incidents.

• Do not catch your finger between the unit 

and surface of the floor when moving the 
projector installed on the floor.

• Do not carry the projector with the cabinet 

on and with its cover open.

• 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.

• Never mount the projector on the ceiling 

or move it by yourself. Be sure to consult 
with qualified Sony personnel (charged).

• If the ventilation holes are blocked, 

internal heat builds up, and it may cause a 
fire or damage the unit. To allow adequate 
air circulation and prevent internal heat 
build-up, follow the items below:

• Leave space around the unit (page 7).

• Avoid using something to cover the 

ventilation holes (exhaust/intake).

• Do not place the unit on surfaces such as 

an original packing sheet, soft cloth, 
papers, rugs, or scraps of paper. The 
ventilation holes may take in such 
materials.

• Do not place any object just in front of the 

lens that may block the light during 
projection. Heat from the light may 
damage the object. Use the picture muting 
function to cut off the picture.
