Precautions

B

• 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. 

• Be careful not to catch your fingers by the 

adjuster when you lift up the projector. Do 
not push hard on the top of the projector 
with the adjuster out.

• To obtain the best picture, the front of the 

screen should not be exposed to direct 
lighting or sunlight. 

• Ceiling-mounted spot lighting is 

recommended. Use a cover over 
fluorescent lamps to avoid lowering the 
contrast ratio.

• Cover any windows that face the screen 

with opaque draperies. 

• It is desirable to install the projector in a 

room where floor and walls are not of 
light-reflecting material. If the floor and 
walls are of reflecting material, it is 
recommended that the carpet and wall 
paper be changed to a dark color. 

After you turn off the power with the 

I

 / 1 

key, do not disconnect the unit from the wall 
outlet while the cooling fan is still running.

The projector 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 projector.

• To keep the cabinet looking new, 

periodically 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, benzene, 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.

• Clean the filter at regular intervals.

• 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. 

• 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.

This projector has been miniaturized to 
approx. 2.9 kg (6 lb 6 oz) in weight and 
B5-file size through the adoption of a 
retractable mechanism. A carrying handle 
is equipped with the projector, so you can 
carry it easily with your computer.

Because the projector uses Sony’s unique 
cooling mechanism, noise has been reduced.

Adopting the high-efficiency optical 
system and the 120 W UHP lamp allows 
high brightness (VPL-CS2: light output 
600 ANSI lumen, VPL-CX1: light output 
550 ANSI lumen) and excellent 
uniformity on the picture.
