On cleaning
• Be sure to turn the unit off and unplug it from the wall
outlet before cleaning.
• If the unit is rubbed hard with a dirty cloth, the unit may be
scratched.
• If volatile liquids such as insecticide are sprinkled on the
unit, or an item made of rubber or vinyl stays in physical
contact with the unit for a long time, the unit may be
affected or the surface color may fade.
• Do not touch the projection window with bare hands.
• To clean the surface of the projection window:
Gently wipe it with a soft cloth such as an eyeglass cleaning
cloth. If there are stubborn stains, wipe them up with a cloth
moistened with water. Never use alcohol, benzene, thinner,
acidic cleaning agents, alkaline cleaning agents, abrasive
cleaning agents, chemical dust cloths, and so on.
• To clean the exterior:
Gently wipe it with a soft cloth. If there are stubborn stains,
wipe up the stains with a soft cloth which has been soaked
in diluted neutral detergent and thoroughly wrung out, then
wipe the exterior again with a dry cloth. Do not use alcohol,
benzene, thinner, and so on.
On projector
• Although this unit is manufactured using very high precision
technology, there may be some permanent black or white
pixels on the projected screen. Also, there may be striped
unevenness in color or brightness. This is a result of the
projector structure and is not a malfunction. The color
balance of each projector unit varies; therefore, when
multiple LCD projectors are used, the color reproduction
among projectors may vary, even if they are of the same
model.
• Depending on viewed content, primary colors such as red,
blue, or green are visible when you move your eyes or
under certain conditions; this is not a malfunction. It is
caused by a "color breakup" phenomenon which is specific
to the field-sequential color system adopted into the unit
for displaying images. This phenomenon can be subdued
by diminishing the contrast between the image and the
backdrop, such as decreasing the brightness of the unit or
increasing the brightness of the room.
On condensation
If the projector is moved suddenly from a cold to a warm
place, or just after a room heater is turned on in a winter
morning, condensation may occur on the surface or inside the
projector. If condensation occurs, leave the projector turned
off until the condensation dissipates. If the projector is used
while there is condensation, it may cause a malfunction.

On ventilation holes
• Do not block the ventilation holes (intake/exhaust). If the
ventilation holes are blocked, heat will build up inside the
unit, causing a fire or malfunction. To maintain good
ventilation, observe the following:
– Place the unit away from walls and objects.
– Do not use a cover that blocks the ventilation holes.
• Do not bring your hand or object close to the exhaust holes.
It may cause burns or deformation.
On projection window
• Do not look into the projection window. The light may
damage your eyes.
• Do not obstruct the projection window. The light will heat
the obstruction, which may cause deterioration,
deformation, burns or fire.
Cautions about heat generation of the unit
• While using the unit, the unit or AC adaptor may become
hot; this is not a malfunction. If the unit temperature
becomes excessively hot, it may automatically turn off for
safety. In such a case, use it in a cooler place after the unit
has cooled down.
• If the unit or AC adaptor becomes unusually hot, it may
malfunction. Immediately turn the unit off and unplug the
AC adaptor from the wall outlet, then consult qualified Sony
personnel.
• Do not continue touching the unit in operation or the AC
adaptor for a long time. Prolonged contact with the skin
may result in burns. Even touching through clothing,
prolonged contact may result in burns.
• Do not use the unit or AC adaptor covered by cloth or
bedding. Heat will build up causing deformation,
malfunction or a fire.
On AC power interruption
When the unit is turned off using the power key, the power
supply to the unit continues.
To stop the power supply to the unit, unplug it from the wall
outlet. Place the AC adaptor close to the wall outlet so that
you can quickly unplug it when becoming aware of a
problem.
