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.
Checking the model name of the projector
Check the model name of the projector first. The model name is located at the bottom of the projector (Example: VPL-AW15). You cannot use some of the functions or menu options for certain projector models.
On preventing internal heat buildup

After you turn off the power with the ?/1 (On/standby) switch, do not disconnect the unit from the wall outlet while the cooling fan is still running. Caution 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.

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.

Front/Side

You can use the buttons on the control panel with the same names as those on the remote control to operate the projector.

When using a screen with an uneven surface, stripes pattern may rarely appear on the screen depending on the distance between the screen and the projector or the zooming magnifications. This is not a malfunction of the projector.
Step 2: Connecting the Projector
When making connections, be sure to do the following: Turn off all equipments before making any connections. Use the proper cables for each connection. Insert the cable plugs properly; poor connection at the plugs may cause a malfunction or poor picture quality.

Indicates how long the lamp has been turned on (total usage).
fH (horizontal frequency) and fV(vertical frequency) may not be displayed depending on the input signal used on the projector. You cannot change any items listed above.
About the Preset Memory No.
This projector has 39 types of preset data for input signals (the preset memory). When the preset signal is input, the projector automatically detects the signal type and recalls the data for the signal from the preset memory to adjust it to an optimum picture. The memory number and signal type of that signal are displayed in the Information menu. You can also adjust the preset data through the Screen menu. This projector also contains 20 different user memories beside the preset memories used for inputting computer signals. You can save input signals that have not been preset on these user memories. When an unpreset signal is input for the first time, a memory number is displayed as 0. When you adjust the data of the signal in the Screen menu, it will be registered to the projector. If more than 20 user memories are registered, the oldest memory is always overwritten. See the chart on page 61 to find if the signal is registered to the preset memory.

The picture flickers.

On-screen display
Symptom On-screen display does not appear. The model name does not disappear from the screen. Cause and Remedy c Set Status in the Setup menu to On. (1 page 46) c Check if the ?/1 (On/standby) indicator should light in green. c The display mode of the projector may be set at the time of purchase. Consult with your local dealer or qualified Sony personnel.

Remote control

Symptom The remote control does not work. Cause and Remedy c Batteries could be weak. Replace them with new batteries. (1 page 11) c Insert the batteries with the correct polarities. (1 page 11) c If there is a fluorescent lamp near the remote control detector, the projector may work improperly or inadvertently.
Symptom The fan is noisy. Cause and Remedy c Check the setting of Cooling Setting in the Setup menu. (1 page 46) c Make sure that the room temperature is not too high. The number of fan rotation increases to maintain the product reliability of the projectors components in a room, where the temperature is higher than normal. The fan noise becomes slightly louder. The approximate normal temperature is 25C.

Warning Indicators

The ?/1 (On/standby) or LAMP/COVER indicator lights up or flashes if there is any trouble with your projector.

LAMP/COVER indicator

Symptom LAMP/COVER flashes in red. (A repetition rate of 2 flashes) LAMP/COVER flashes in red. (A repetition rate of 3 flashes)
Cause and Remedy c Close the lamp cover securely, then tighten the screws securely. (1 page 56) c Close the air filter cover securely. (1 page 57) c The lamp has reached the end of its useful lifespan. Replace the lamp. (1 page 55) c The lamp has reached a high temperature. Wait until the lamp cools, and then turn on the power again. c The fan is broken. Consult with qualified Sony personnel.

?/1 (On/standby) flashes

in red. (A repetition rate of 4 flashes)
in red. (A repetition rate of 2 flashes)
c The internal temperature is unusually high. Check to ensure that if nothing is blocking the ventilation holes or whether or not the projector is being used at high altitudes. c Disconnect the AC power cord, then confirm the ?/1 (On/standby) lamp is turned off. Turn on the power again after re-connecting it. If the indicators still light up, the electrical system has a problem. Consult with qualified Sony personnel.

The lamp contains mercury. The disposal rules for used fluorescent tubes depend on where you live. Follow the waste disposal policy in your area.

Replacing the Air Filter

When Please replace the filter. appears on the screen, you should replace the air filter. The air filter should be replaced every 1,500 hours. This value varies depending on the environment or how the projector is used. 1,500 hours are approximate.

Fitting the lens cap

When fitting the lens cap onto the lens, position the lens cap so that the concave on the side of the lens cap will fit the zoom lever, as shown in the illustration.
For details on how to attach and remove the air filter, see Replacing the Lamp and the Air Filter and cleaning the Ventilation holes (intake) Steps 7 to 11. (1 page 56) When you remove the air filter, be careful not to let any dust fall into the projector. Replacing the air filter is crucial to maintain the good performance of the projector or to prevent malfunction to it. When a warning message for replacing the air filter appears, replace the air filter immediately.

Lens cap Zoom lever

The lens cap will not fit if the position is not set correctly.
