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 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 aim the laser at people or not look into the laser transmitter.
• Do not place your hand or objects near the ventilation holes — the air

coming out is hot.

• When the projector is mounted on the ceiling, the Sony PSS-600

Projector Suspension Support must be used for installation.

• Be careful not to catch your fingers by the adjusters when you lift up the

projector. Do not push hard on the top of the projector with the adjusters
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 / 

u

 

key on the Remote Commander

or on the control panel, 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) at the bottom and
ventilation holes (exhaust) on 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.
