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.

On watching 3D video images

Safety precautions

• You should only use the 3D glasses for watching 3D video images.
• If you observe flickering or flashing, turn off the lighting in the room.
• Not for use by children without proper adult supervision.
• Do not drop or modify these 3D glasses.
• If these glasses are broken, keep broken pieces away from your mouth or eyes.

On inspection of light source related parts
Since the unit uses a laser, when performing maintenance or inspection of light source related parts, particular attention and a safe environment are necessary. Be sure to consult with qualified Sony personnel (charged).

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 temperature settings of the air conditioner. If condensation occurs, leave the projector turned on for about two hours before use.
