Precautions
On safety
- Check that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with 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 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 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 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 leaving 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. -

- 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

Near walls
To maintain the performance and reliability of the unit, leave space between
walls and the unit as illustrated
Note that the wall on the ventilation holes side may become hot. Air from air conditioners or the ventilation holes of this unit or other devices, may cause oscillation on the screen. Be sure not to install this unit in the area where the air from air conditioners or the ventilation holes of these devices reach to the front side of this unit.
Poorly ventilated location
Leave space of more than 30 cm (11 7/8 inches) around the unit
Hot and humid
Locations subject to direct cool or warm air from an air-conditioner
Installing the unit in such a location may cause a malfunction of the unit due
to moisture condensation or rise in temperature
Near a heat or smoke sensor
A malfunction of the sensor may occur.
Very dusty and extremely smoky locations

color uniformity If the unit is tilted up or down, the image on the screen may
be trapezoidal. Position the unit so that the lens is parallel to the
screen
When installing the unit at high altitudes
When using the unit in a location at an altitude of 1,000 m (approx. 3,280
feet) or higher, appropriately set “High Altitude Mode” in the Setup menu.
Failing to do so could have adverse effects, such as reducing the reliability
of certain components
Safety precautions for installing the unit on a ceiling
- Never mount the projector on the ceiling or move it by yourself. Be sure to consult with qualified Sony personnel (charged).
