							Precautions 14
Precautions
On safety
• Check that the operating voltage of your unit is 
identical with the voltage of your local power supply. 
If voltage adaptation is required, consult with 
qualified Sony personnel.
 Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, 
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified Sony 
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 from 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.
 Avoid using an extension cord with a low voltage 
limited since it may cause the short-circuit and 
physical incidents.
 Do not catch your finger between the unit and surface 
of the floor when moving the projector installed on the 
floor.
 Be careful not to catch your finger in the cooling fan.
 Do not carry the projector with the cabinet on and with 
its cover open.
 Be sure to use two peoples to grasp both sides of the 
unit when carrying the unit.
On installation
 When the projector is mounted on the ceiling, the 
Sony PSS-630 Projector Suspension Support must be 
used for installation.
 Be sure to install the supplied dust cover when 
mounting the projector on the ceiling.
 Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat 
build-up. Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, 
blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) 
that may block the ventilation holes.
Leave space of more than 30 cm (11 
7/8 inches) 
between the wall and the projector. Be aware that 
room heat rises to the ceiling; check that the 
temperature near the installation location is not 
excessive.
 Install the projector on the floor or ceiling. Any other 
installation causes a malfunction such as color 
irregularity or shortening lamp life.
 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.
 To avoid moisture condensation, do not install the unit 
in a location where the temperature may rise rapidly.
 Be sure to secure the cabinet cover firmly when 
installing to the ceiling firmly.
Warning
For customers who purchase this unit
If customers perform the installation described in this 
manual, an accident may occur, causing serious injury. 
Never install it by yourself. For installation, be sure to 
consult with qualified Sony personnel.
For dealers
Please read this Installation Manual thoroughly for safe 
installation.
On illumination
 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.
On preventing internal heat build-up
 After you turn off the power with the @ / 1 key on the 
control panel or on the Remote Commander, do not 
disconnect the unit from the wall outlet while the 
cooling fan is still running.
 Do not disconnect the AC power cord from the wall 
outlet while the fan is still running.
Caution
The projector is equipped with ventilation holes (intake 
and 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 cleaning
Before cleaning
Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC 
outlet.
On replacing the air filters
When the air filter replacement message appears, 
replace both air filters with new ones.
For the air filter replacement, refer to “Replacing the 
Air Filters” in the supplied Operating Instructions. 
						

							Overview15 
On cleaning the lens
The lens surface is especially treated to reduce reflection 
of light.
As incorrect maintenance may impair the performance 
of the projector, take care with respect to the following:
 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.
 Wipe the lens gently with a soft cloth such as a 
cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth.
 Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth such 
as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth lightly 
dampened with water.
 Never use solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner, 
or acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or chemical 
cleaning cloth, as they will damage the lens surface.
On cleaning the cabinet
 Clean the cabinet gently with a soft dry cloth. 
Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly 
dampened with mild detergent solution, followed by 
wiping with a soft dry cloth.
 Use of alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide may 
damage the finish of the cabinet or remove the 
indications on the cabinet. Do not use these chemicals.
 If you rub on the cabinet with a stained cloth, the 
cabinet may be scratched.
 If the cabinet is in contact with a rubber or vinyl resin 
product for a long period of time, the finish of the 
cabinet may deteriorate or the coating may come off.
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.
Overview
This manual describes how to install the Sony VPL-
FH300L/FW300L Data Projector, how to attach a lens to 
the projector, and installation diagrams.  
						

							Attaching a Lens 16
Attaching a Lens
The projector comes from the factory with no lens 
attached. You can attach the following types of optional 
lenses to the projector:
 VPLL-Z4019 Standard Zoom Lens
 VPLL-4008 Fixed Short Focus Lens (for rear 
projection, optical axis angle 0 degrees))
 VPLL-Z4015 Short Focus Zoom Lens
 VPLL-Z4025 Middle Focus Zoom Lens
 VPLL-Z4045 Long Focus Zoom Lens
Attaching a Lens
Follow the steps below to attach a lens:
For details on the lens, also refer to the operating 
instructions supplied with the lens.
1Turn off the power of the projector and disconnect 
the power cable.
2Remove the lens cover.
1 Remove the lens hole cover.
2 Loosen the two screws at the bottom.
 
3 While lifting the lens cover, pull it toward you 
to remove. (The lens cover is fixed to the 
projector with two tabs on the top.)
3Move the lens fixing lever upward to unlock.
Note
Move the lens fixing lever completely upward. 
Otherwise you cannot attach or remove the lens.
4Remove two lens caps and insert the lens straight 
with a white circle mark up, as far as it goes.
Notes
 Attach the lens carefully so as not to damage the 
lens glass with the lever or other parts.
 If the lens does not go in fully, turn the lens 
slightly right and left.
5Move the lens fixing lever down to the bottom 
correctly.
The lens is locked.
If the lens fixing lever does not move down, the lens 
may not be fully inserted. Insert it again and move 
the lens fixing lever down to the bottom correctly.

6Replace the lens cover.
Align the two tabs with the slots, place the lens 
cover over the lens, then tighten the two screws at 
the bottom.
Note
Move the lens fixing lever completely downward. 
Otherwise you cannot lock the lens.
Replacing the Lens
The procedure for replacing the lens is the same as that 
for “Attaching a Lens.” Perform steps 1 to 3 to unlock 
the lens fixing lever, and withdraw the lens straight 
forward. Then perform steps 4 to 6 to attach another 
lens.
Note
Use both hands to withdraw the lens.
Installing the HD-SDI/SDI 
Input Adaptor
You can install the optional BKM-FW16 HD-SDI/SDI 
Input Adaptor in INPUT E of the connector panel 
section of the projector. 
1Turn off the power of the projector and disconnect 
the power cable.
2Remove the two screws from the blank panel 
attached to the connector panel section, and remove 
the blank panel.
3Insert the BKM-FW16 HD-SDI/SDI Input Adaptor 
as far as it goes.
4Tighten the two screws on the BKM-FW16.

should install the projector with the center of the lens 
aligned with the center of the screen in the horizontal/
vertical direction. Otherwise, a portion of the picture 
may be invisible.
