SAFETY CHECK-OUT
(US Model only)
LEAKAGE TEST
The AC leakage from any exposed metal part to earth ground
and from all exposed metal parts to any exposed metal part having a
return to chassis, must not exceed 0.5 mA (500 microampers).
Leakage current can be measured by any one of three methods.
1. A commercial leakage tester, such as the Simpson 229 or
RCA WT-540A. Follow the manufacturers’ instructions to
use these instruments.
2. A battery-operated AC milliammeter. The Data Precision 245
digital multimeter is suitable for this job.
3. Measuring the voltage drop across a resistor by means of a
VOM or battery-operated AC voltmeter. The “limit” indica-
tion is 0.75 V, so analog meters must have an accurate low-
voltage scale. The Simpson 250 and Sanwa SH-63Trd are ex-
amples of a passive VOMs that are suitable. Nearly all battery
operated digital multimeters that have a 2 V AC range are suit-
able. (See Fig. A)
HOW TO FIND A GOOD EARTH GROUND
A cold-water pipe is guaranteed earth ground; the cover-plate
retaining screw on most AC outlet boxes is also at earth ground. If
the retaining screw is to be used as your earth-ground, verify that it
is at ground by measuring the resistance between it and a cold-
water pipe with an ohmmeter. The reading should be zero ohms. If
a cold-water pipe is not accessible, connect a 60 – 100 watts
trouble light (not a neon lamp) between the hot side of the recep-
tacle and the retaining screw. Try both slots, if necessary, to locate
the hot side of the line, the lamp should light at normal brilliance if
the screw is at ground potential. (See Fig. B)
After correcting the original service problem, perform the fol-
lowing safety checks before releasing the set to the customer:
1. Check the area of your repair for unsoldered or poorly-sol-
dered connections. Check the entire board surface for solder
splashes and bridges.
2. Check the interboard wiring to ensure that no wires are
“pinched” or contact high-wattage resistors.
3. Check that all control knobs, shields, covers, ground straps,
and mounting hardware have been replaced. Be absolutely
certain that you have replaced all the insulators.
4. Look for unauthorized replacement parts, particularly transis-
tors, that were installed during a previous repair. Point them
out to the customer and recommend their replacement.
5. Look for parts which, though functioning, show obvious signs
of deterioration. Point them out to the customer and recom-
mend their replacement.
6. Check the line cords for cracks and abrasion. Recommend the
replacement of any such line cord to the customer.
7. Check the condition of the monopole antenna (if any).
Make sure the end is not broken off, and has the plastic cap on
it. Point out the danger of impalement on a broken antenna to
the customer, and recommend the antenna’s replacement.
8. Check the B+ and HV to see if they are specified values. Make
sure your instruments are accurate; be suspicious of your HV
meter if sets always have low HV.
9. Check the antenna terminals, metal trim, “metallized” knobs,
screws, and all other exposed metal parts for AC Leakage.
Check leakage as described below.

Welcome!
Precautions
This projection monitor operates on extremely high
voltage. To prevent fire or electric shock, please follow
the precautions below.
On safety
•Check that the operating voltage of your unit is
identical with the voltage of your local power
supply.
•One blade of the plug is wider than the other for
safety purposes and will fit into the power outlet
only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.
•Should any liquid or solid object fall into the
cabinet, unplug the monitor and have it checked by
qualified personnel before operating it further.
•Unplug the monitor from the wall outlet if you are
not going to use it for several days or more. To
disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never
pull the cord itself.
•The fans inside the monitor continue working for a
while even after the monitor has been turned off.
Do not unplug the monitor from the AC outlet
while the fans are working.
On installation
• To prevent internal heat build-up, do not block the
ventilation openings.
• Do not install the monitor in a hot or humid place,
or in a place subject to excessive dust or mechanical
vibration.
On screen
The screen surface is easily scratched. Do not rub,
touch or tap it with sharp or abrasive objects.
Be especially careful when transporting the monitor.
On blanking around the pciture
The monitor displays black masks between the picture
and the screen vessel because the monitor under-scans
to obtain the necessary space on the screen to display
the picture. This is called blanking. Note that the black
masks on each vessel are not uniform.
To adjust the size and position of the picture, see pages
16 and 17.
On moisture condensation
If the projection monitor is transported directly from a
cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature
has changed suddenly, the picture may be blurred or
show poor color. This is because moisture has
condensed on the lenses inside. If this happens, leave
the power on and let the moisture evaporate before
using the monitor.
On cleaning
• Clean the cabinet of the monitor with a dry soft
cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth
slightly dampened with solution of mild soap and
water, then wipe it with a dry soft cloth.
• Do not use any type of solvent such as alcohol,
benzine, thinner or insecticide. Such solvent may
damage the finish of the monitor or erase the
indications on the panel.
• To remove dust from the screen, wipe it gently with
a dry soft cloth.
• Stubborn stains on the screen may be removed with
a soft cloth slightly dampened with solution of mild
soap and water.
• If the picture becomes dark after using the monitor
for a long period of time, it may be necessary to
clean the inside of the monitor. Consult qualified
service personnel.

Replacing a lamp
If the screen becomes dark, the color looks unusual, or
the LAMP indicator on the front of the monitor flashes,
it is time to replace the lamp with a new one.
Disposal of the Used Lamp
Sony regards protection of the environment as
extremely important.
Kindly put the used lamp in the new lamp’s package
and send it to the sales company whose address
appears on the new lamp’s guaranty card.
Before replacement
• Be sure to use a Sony XL-100 series lamp unit (not supplied)
for replacement. Use of other lamps may damage the monitor.
• Do not remove the lamp for any purpose other than
replacement.
• When replacing the lamp, let it cool down completely as the
surface of the lamp remains extremely hot for at least 30
minutes after the power has been turned off.
• Do not leave the removed lamp near flammable materials.
• Do not pour water onto the removed lamp, nor put any object
inside the lamp.
• Do not put inflammable materials and metal objects inside the
lamp receptacle on the monitor, after removing the lamp. Do
not touch the receptacle.
• Fit the new lamp securely, otherwise the screen may become
dark, or it may cause a fire.
1 Turn off the power switch on the monitor
and unplug the power cord.
Wait at least 30 minutes to allow the lamp to cool
down before replacing it .
2 Remove the front panel.
3
Loosen the screw with a coin or similar
object to remove the lamp cover.
4 Loosen the two screws that secure the
lamp, then pull out the lamp.
The lamp is very hot immediately after use. Never
touch the front glass of the lamp or the
surrounding parts.
Loosen the two screws with the hexagon
head wrench (supplied with the lamp).
Hold the handle and pull out straight
towards you.
Place the removed lamp into the empty box of the
replacement lamp.
5 Mount the new lamp and tighten the two
screws securely using the hexagon head
wrench.
6 Mount the lamp cover and tighten the
screw.
7 Mount the front panel.
Be careful not to damage the monitor’s speakers.
Notes
• Do not touch the front glass of a new lamp or the glass of the
lamp receptacle. This may reduce picture quality or lamp life.
• Be sure to attach the lamp securely; otherwise, the monitor will
not turn on.
• A loud sound may be heard when the lamp burns out. This is
not dangerous.
• Consult your Sony dealer for obtaining the following lamp
units:
XL-100 (for Japan)
XL-100U (only for the U.S.)
XL-100M (for countries other than Japan or the U.S.)
Hold the monitor tightly. Grasping the right end of the
front panel with your fingers, pull
the panel towards you. Repeat
this step with the left end of the
panel. Be careful not to catch
your fingernails.
