and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause
interference to radio and television reception. It has been
type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
computing device in accordance with the specifications in
Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to
provide reasonable protection against such interference in a
residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is. encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
Reorient the receiving antenna
Relocate the equipment with respect to the receiver
Move the equipment away from the receiver
Plug the equipment into a different outlet so that
equipment and receiver are on different branch circuits.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/television technician for additional
suggestions. The user may find the following booklet
prepared by the Federal Communications Commission
helpful:
“How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference
Problems’. This booklet is available from the U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, Stock
No. 004-000-00345-4.
The shielded interface cable recommended in this manual
must be used with this equipement in order to comply with
the limits for a computing device pursuant to Subpart J of

THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
Green-and-yellow : Earth
Blue : Neutral
Brown : Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green-and-yellow must be
connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the
letter E or by the safety earth symbol + or coloured green or
green-and-yellow. The wire which is coloured blue must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N
or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be

or coloured red.
Notice for the ‘Customers ‘in, Canada
This apparatus complies with the Class B limits for radio
noise emissions set out in Radio Interference Regulations of
Canada.

* Check that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with the
voltage of your local power supply.
If voltage adaptation is required, consult your Sony dealer or
qualified personnel.
e Should any tiquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the
unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating
it any further.
« Unplug the unit from the wall outlet or set the POWER switch to
OFF 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.
On installation
® Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up.
Do not piace the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near
materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation
holes.
Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that
temperature near the installation location is not excessive.
© Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such as
radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or humidity, mechanical vibration or shock.
On illumination
¢ To obtain a clear picture, the screen should not be exposed to
illumination or sunlight directly from the front.
* Ceiling mounted spot lighting is recommended.
Use aconstruction over light-scattering illumination such as
fluorescent lamps.
© Cover the windows that face the screen with opaque draperies.
e It is desirable to install the projector in a room whose floor and
walls are not of light-reflecting material.
If the floor and walls are of reflecting material, it would be
desirable to change to a dark carpet and wail paper.
On cleaning
© To keep the cabinet looking brand-new, periodicaliy clean it with
a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly
dampened with a mild detergent solution.
Never use strong solvents, such as thinner or benzine, or
abrasive cleansers, since these will damage the cabinet.
* Avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens, use a soft
dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth, detergent solution, or
thinner.
On repacking
Save the original shipping carton and packing materiai; 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.
[ Bright image—light output 600 lumen
A newly-developed phosphor and electron gun and the high
voltage circuit provide a high-quality image with extra sharpness
and brightness.
Newly-developed Sony HACC (High-resolution
Aspherical and Color Corrected) lens
(VPH-1042Q/1042QM only)
The HACC lens highly contributes to sharpness and contrast
improvement.
Fine-detailed picture—resolution 1000 lines
High contrast and sharp picture with a resolution of 1000 lines is
obtained by the combined use of an electron gun providing a
sharp picture, a colored coolant filter providing efficient color
reproduction, a double focus lens system providing accurate
focus even in the corners of the screen as well as the center, and
anti-reflection coating to improve focus and contrast in the
corners.
S VIDEO input connector
This unit is equipped with an S VIDEO input connector through
which Y (luminance) and C (chrominance) signals can be input
separately. This reduces interference between the signals and
ensures excellent picture quality.
TO VPR-722S connector
The TO VPR-722S connector allows connection of the optional
VPR-722S remote controller with a single cable.
For RGB signals, if a sync signal is input through the green input
together with the green signal, this sync signal is used to control
the picture.
If, however, a sync signal is input through the SYNC/HD connector
or the SYNC/HD and VD connectors, this sync signal is used even
when there is a sync signal on the green signal.
Four color systems available
PAL, SECAM, NTSC or NTSC4.43* color system is selected
automatically.
[ Various installation possibilities
The projector is designed to be installed on desk, floor or ceiling
and can be used with a flat screen, curved screen or rear
projection screen.
Ituminated control panel
When the panel cover is open, the contro! panel where the user
controls are located is illuminated for easy operation in dim or
dark places.
| Internal test signal
Adjustments can be performed easily by projecting the built-in
cross-hair test signal. No external test signal is needed.
* A signal of NTSCa43 system is obtained by playing back NTSC-recorded
video tapes with a video tape recorder/player specially designed for use
with this system.

For details on the use of each control, refer to the pages in @.

First make sure that the power to each piece of
equipment is turned off.
e The cable connectors should be fully inserted into the
jacks. A loose connection may cause hum and noise.
¢ To disconnect the cable, pull it out by grasping the plug.
Never pull the cable itself.
¢ Use suitable connecting cables according to the
equipment to be connected.
* For connection to the VIDEO IN and TO VPR-722S
connectors, the connecting cable may be extended to max.
50 m (164 feet 4/2 inch). If the connecting cable is longer
than 50 m, picture quality may be impaired somewhat.
