You do not need to install batteries in the

Remote Commander, as the power is supplied from the projector.

About Remote Commander operation

• Direct the Remote Commander toward the remote control detector.

• The shorter the distance between the

Remote Commander and the projector is, the wider the angle within which the

Remote Commander can control the projector becomes.

• If there is any obstruction between the

Remote Commander and the remote control detector on the projector, the projector may not be able to receive signals from the Remote Commander.

B Preparation

Connecting the Projector

Notes

• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.

• Use the proper cables for each connection.

• Insert the cable plugs firmly; Loose connections may reduce performance of picture signals or cause a malfunction. When pulling out a cable, be sure to grip it by the plug, not the cable itself.

• For more information, refer also to the instruction manuals of the equipment you are connecting.

• Use a no-resistance audio cable.

Focus Size (Zoom) Position (Lens shift)

Adjusting the tilt of the projector with the front feet (adjustable)

When the projector is installed on an uneven surface or the projected position is low, you can adjust using the front feet (adjustable).

To correct any trapezoidal distortion of the projected image, use the Keystone

correction feature (pages 13, 28).

Notes

• Be careful not to let the projector down on your fingers.

• Do not push hard on the top of the projector with the front feet (adjustable) extended.

• Keystone adjustment is an electronic correction. Consequently the image quality may deteriorate.

Displaying a pattern for adjusting an image

You can display a pattern for adjusting the projected image with the PATTERN key on the Remote Commander. Press the

PATTERN key again to restore the previous image.

Notes

• Keystone adjustment is an electronic correction. Consequently the image quality may deteriorate.

• Depending on the position adjusted with the lens shift feature, using the Keystone feature may change the aspect ratio of the original image, or the projected image may be distorted.

• If keystone correction is performed using the

KEYSTONE key, the Warp correction feature (if enabled) will be canceled.

for a few seconds (page 36).

ECO gauge

This gauge indicates the current effectiveness of the projector’s ECO function. (For details on the ECO function,

see “ECO MODE key” (page 6) and “ECO”

(page 26).)

The leaf icons are displayed when the projector is shut down. The number of displayed icons varies according to how much energy is saved as a result of using the

ECO function.

Notes

• The procedure shown above is for general guidance. Your own installation may vary according to the situation.

• In case of multiple projectors, use the color

matching function (page 30) to adjust for

differences in color and brightness.

Note that more detailed adjustment for Edge

Blending is possible using a PC application.

For more details, consult with qualified Sony personnel.

• When multiple projectors are set up in a line, the temperature inside the projectors may increase due to exhaust vent proximity, and an error indication may result.

In this case, space the projectors farther apart and/or install deflection partitioning between them.

For more details, consult with qualified Sony personnel.

Turning Off the Power

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 the AC power cord from the AC outlet.

2

Open the air filter cover by loosening the screw on the air filter cover.

4

Clean the air filter with a vacuum cleaner.

Remove the air filter as illustrated below, then clean the two air filters.

5

Return the air filter to the air filter unit then return it to the projector.

6

Close the air filter cover and tighten the screw.

Notes

• Be sure to attach the air filter unit and air filter cover firmly; the power cannot be turned on if it is not closed securely.

• Do not loosen screws other than that on the air filter cover.

3

Pull out the air filter unit.

Projection Distance and Lens Shift Range

The projection distance refers to the distance between the front of the lens and the projected surface.

Projection distance L

Projected image

Front of the lens

The lens shift range represents the distance in percent (%) by which the lens can be shifted from the center of the projected image. The lens shift range is regarded as 0% when the point (A) in the illustration (point where a line drawn from the center of the lens and the projected image cross at right angles) is aligned with the center of the projected image and full width or full height of the projected image is regarded as 100%.

About lens position

The projection distance and lens shift range are measured with the lens position adjusted to the center. To adjust the lens position to the center, follow the procedures below:

1

Rotate the left lens shift dial clockwise or counterclockwise then align the lens fixing screws with the v V marks in four places, as illustrated, for adjusting the lens horizontally.

2

Rotate the right lens shift dial clockwise until the lens is fixed, to adjust the lens vertically.

1

For adjusting lens horizontally

Lens fixing screws v V marks

2

For adjusting lens vertically

Note

Before adjusting the lens position to the center and checking whether the lens position is centered, turn off the power to prevent projected light from entering the eyes.
