31Cleaning the Air Filter Others Cleaning the Air Filter When a message appears on the projected image indicating time for a filter cleaning, clean the air filter (page 26). If the dust cannot be removed from the air filter even after cleaning, replace the air filter with a new one. For details on purchasing/fitting a new air filter, consult with the store where you purchased the projector, or contact qualified Sony personnel. If you neglect to clean the air filter, dust may accumulate, clogging it. As a result, the temperature may rise inside the unit, leading to a possible malfunction or fire. 1Turn off the projector, and disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet. 2Slide out and remove the air filter cover from the unit. 3Clean the air filter with a vacuum cleaner. Pull out and remove the air filter cover, and clean it with a vacuum cleaner. 4Reattach the air filter cover to the unit. Caution Air filter cover Claws Air filter cover

37Projection Distance Others Projection Distance The projection distance is the distance between the front of the lens and the surface of the projected image. The following describes the projection distance and height from the front of the lens to edge of screen by each projected screen size. Height H is the height from the bottom of the projected image (top for ceiling mount) to A (determined by drawing a perpendicular line from the front of the lens to projected image surface). Never mount the projector on the ceiling or move it by yourself. Be sure to consult with qualified Sony personnel (charged).
