  If the ON/STANDBY indicator on your Sony Projector flashes red with a repetition rate of 6 flashes, press the I/1 (ON/STANDBY) switch to turn on the projector. If the power does not turn on, disconnect the AC power cord, then confirm the ON/STANDBY lamp is turned off. After about 10 seconds, reconnect the AC power cord and turn on the power again. If the indicators still light up, the electrical system has a problem. Consult with qualified Sony personnel.
