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 or set the MAIN POWER switch to
OFF 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.
On installation
· When the projector is mounted on the ceiling, the Sony PSS-500
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
10 cm (4 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.
· 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.
Caution
The projector is equipped with suction holes at the bottom and exhaust
holes on the rear. Do not block these holes, or internal heat build-up may
occur, causing picture degradation or damage to the projector.
Precautions
5 (EN)
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 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 repacking
· Save the original shipping carton and packing material; they will come in
handy if you ever have to ship your unit. For maximum protection,
repack your unit as it was originally packed at the factory.
