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 the lamp is
on.
• Do not place your hand or objects near the
ventilation holes. The air coming out is
hot.
• Make sure to remove the protective
packaging lens cap before projection.
Projection with the cap attached may melt
the cap by heat.
• Do not place any object just in front of the
lens that may block the light during
projection. Heat from the light may
damage the object. Use the picture muting
function to cut off the picture.
On preventing internal heat build-
up
After you turn off the power with the ?/1
(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) and ventilation holes (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 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.
• Be careful not to pinch your fingers in
hinges of the 3D glasses when bending the
temple frames.
• Do not drop or modify these 3D glasses.
• If these glasses are broken, keep broken
pieces away from your mouth or eyes.
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

9GB
temperature settings of the air conditioner. If
condensation occurs, leave the projector
turned on for about two hours before use.
Notes on security
• 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.
Do not place this product close to
medical devices
This product (including accessories) has
magnet(s) which may interfere with
pacemakers, programmable shunt valves for
hydrocephalus treatment, or other medical
devices. Do not place this product close to
persons who use such medical devices.
Consult your doctor before using this
product if you use any such medical device.
SONY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR
DAMAGES OF ANY KIND
RESULTING FROM THE USE OF

PERIOD OR AFTER EXPIRATION OF
THE WARRANTY.
