The image is not clear.  
Check if the projector is in focus.  
The picture will not be clear if condensation has accumulated  
on the lens. In such a case, let the projector sit for about two  
hours with the power on.  
The image is noisy.  
No sound.  
Check if the connecting cable is connected to external

Check that the connecting cables between the projector and  
external video or audio equipment are securely connected.  
Check if the output setting of connected external audio  
equipment is set to output the audio signal from the projector.  
Check if the connecting cable is connected to external  
equipment firmly.  
Audio is not output if audio muting is activated.  
Check if “Volume” is not set to minimum.  
Check that the batteries are installed correctly.  
Check that the batteries are not exhausted.  
The Remote  
Commander does not  
work.  
The fan is noisy.  
The sound from the fan is often greater than normal to cool the 21, 21  
lamp, etc. in the following cases.  
• “Lamp Mode” is set to “High.”  
• “High Altitude Mode” is set to “On.”  
• The unit is used in the location where the temperature is high.  
If the ventilation holes are blocked, the internal temperature of  
the projector rises and the fan noise becomes larger.  
26 Troubleshooting  
 
Replacing the Lamp  
Replace the lamp with a new one if a message displayed on the projected image or the LAMP/  
COVER indicator notifies you to replace the lamp (pages 23, 24).  
Use an LMP-E211 projector lamp (not supplied) for replacement.  
1 Turn off the projector, and disconnect  
Caution  
the AC power cord from a wall outlet.  
• The lamp remains hot after the projector is  
turned off. If you touch the lamp, you may  
burn your finger. When you replace the  
lamp, wait for at least an hour after  
turning off the projector for the lamp to  
cool sufficiently.  
2 When the lamp has cooled  
sufficiently, open the lamp cover by  
loosening 1 screw.  
• Do not allow any metallic or inflammable  
objects into the lamp replacement slot after  
removing the lamp, otherwise it may cause  
electrical shock or fire. Do not put your  
hands into the slot.  
If the lamp breaks, contact qualified  
Sony personnel. Do not replace the lamp  
yourself.  
• When removing the lamp, be sure to pull it  
out straight, by holding the designated  
location. If you touch a part of the lamp other  
than the designated location, you may be  
burned or injured. If you pull out the lamp  
while the projector is tilted, the pieces may  
scatter if the lamp breaks any may cause  
injury.  
3 Loosen the 2 screws on the lamp then  
pull out the lamp by its grab.

4 Insert the new lamp all the way in until  
it is securely in place. Tighten the  
2 screws.  
Caution  
Disposal of the used lamp  
For the customers in the USA  
Lamp in this product contains mercury.  
Disposal of these materials may be  
regulated due to environmental  
considerations. For disposal or  
recycling information, please contact  
your local authorities or the  
Telecommunications Industry  
Association (www.eiae.org).  
5 Close the lamp cover and tighten the  
1 screw.  
Note  
Be sure to install the lamp and Lamp cover  
securely as it was. If not, the projector  
cannot be turned on.  
6 Connect the AC power cord to a wall  
outlet and turn on the projector.  
7 Reset the lamp timer for notification of  
the next replacement time.  
Select “Lamp Timer Reset” on the SET  
SETTING menu then press the ENTER  
key. When a message appears, select

28 Replacing the Lamp  
 
Cleaning the Air Filter  
When a message appears on the projected image, clean the air filter (page 24).  
If the dust cannot be removed from the air filter even after cleaning, replace the air filter with  
a new one.  
For details on a new air filter, consult with qualified Sony personnel.  
Caution  
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.  
1 Turn off the projector, and disconnect  
4 Attach the air filter cover to the unit.

Projection Distance  
The following describes the projection distance and height from lens center to bottom of screen  
by each projected screen size.  
The projection distance is the distance between the front of the lens and the surface of the  
projected image.  
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 lens center to projected image surface).
