Precautions
On safety
-
Check that the operating voltage of your unit is identical to the voltage of your local power supply.
-
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 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 in use.
-
Do not place your hand or objects near the ventilation holes. The air coming out is hot.
On preventing internal heat build-up
After you turn off the power with the (On/Standby) button, do not disconnect
the unit from the wall outlet while the cooling fan is still running.
Caution
This unit is equipped with ventilation holes (intake/exhaust). 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 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.
On watching 3D video images
Safety precautions
- If you observe flickering or flashing, turn off the lighting in the room.
- Not for use by children without proper adult supervision.
On inspection of light source related parts
Since the unit uses a laser, when adjusting or inspecting the light source-
related parts, particular attention and a safe environment are necessary. Be
sure to consult with qualified Sony personnel (charged).
Note on left unused for long periods
If the unit is not used for a long period of time, malfunction or a drop in
performance can occur. To avoid this, periodically turn on the power and
operate the unit.
On LCD Projector
The LCD projector is manufactured using high precision technology. You may,
however, see tiny black points and/or bright points (red, blue, or green) that
continuously appear on the LCD projector. This is a normal result of the
manufacturing process and does not indicate a malfunction. Also, when you use
multiple LCD projectors to project
onto a screen, even if they are of the same model, the color reproduction
among projectors may vary, since color balance may be set differently from one
projector to the next.
On condensation
If the room temperature where the projector is installed changes rapidly, or
if the projector is moved suddenly from a cold to a warm place, condensation
in the projector may occur. As the condensation may cause malfunction, be
careful in adjusting the temperature settings of the air conditioner. If
condensation occurs, leave the projector turned on for about two hours before
use.
Notes on security
- SONY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND RESULTING FROM A FAILURE TO IMPLEMENT PROPER SECURITY MEASURES ON TRANSMISSION DEVICES, UNAVOIDABLE DATA LEAKS RESULTING FROM TRANSMISSION SPECIFICATIONS, OR SECURITY PROBLEMS OF ANY KIND.
- Depending on the operating environment, unauthorized third parties on the network may be able to access the unit. When connecting the unit to the network, be sure to confirm that the network is protected securely.
- From a safety standpoint, when using the unit connected with the network, it is strongly recommended to access the Control window via a Web browser and change the access limitation settings from the factory preset values. Also, it is recommended that you set a password with a sufficiently long character string that is hard to guess by others, and that you store it safely.
- Do not browse any other website in the Web browser while making settings or after making settings. Since the login status remains in the Web browser, close the Web browser when you complete the settings to prevent unauthorized third parties from using the unit or harmful programs from running.
- When connecting this product to a network, connect via a system that provides a protection function, such as a router or firewall. If connected without such protection, security issues may occur.
