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.

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

Connection with a computer is explained for each input signal.

INPUT A

For connection when there is a long distance between a computer and the projector.

INPUT B

For connecting a computer with an RGB output connector.

It is recommended that you set the resolution of your computer to 1920 × 1200 pixels for the external

monitor.

Projecting an Image

B Projecting/Adjusting an Image

Projecting an Image

The size of a projected image depends on the distance between the projector and screen. Install

the projector so that the projected image fits the screen size. For details on projection distances

and projected image sizes, see

“Projection Distance and Lens Shift Range” (page 52).

1 Plug the AC power cord into a wall

outlet.

2 Connect all equipment to the projector

(page 8).

3 Turn on the projector.

Press the ?/1 key on the main unit or the

? key on the Remote Commander.

4 Turn on the connected equipment.

5 Select the input source.

Press the INPUT key on the projector to

display the input select window. Press

the INPUT key repeatedly or the V/v

key to select an image to be projected.

The signal icon appears on the right

side in the input select window when a

signal is input.

You can select the input source using

Direct input select keys on the Remote

Commander

(page 5).

6 Switch your computer to output to

external display by changing your

computer’s setting.

How to switch the computer to output to

the projector varies, depending on the

type of computer.

Projecting an Image

Adjusting the tilt of the projector

with the rear feet (adjustable)

When the projector is installed on an uneven

surface, you can adjust using the rear feet

(adjustable). To correct any trapezoidal

distortion of the projected image, use the

Keystone correction feature (pages 16, 32).

You can also broaden the adjustment range

by removing the nuts from the rear feet

(adjustable).

• Be careful not to let the projector down on

your fingers.

• Do not push hard on the top of the projector

with the rear feet (adjustable) extended. It

may cause a malfunction.

• 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.

Correcting for trapezoidal

distortion of the projected image

(Keystone adjustment)

If the screen is tilted, or you are projecting

from an oblique angle, perform keystone

adjustment.

If the projected image is

trapezoidally-distorted in the vertical

plane

1 Press the KEYSTONE key on the

Remote Commander once or select “V

Keystone” in the Installation menu to

display the adjustment menu.

2 Adjust the value using V/v/B/b.

The higher the setting, the narrower the

top of the projected image. The lower

the setting, the narrower the bottom of

the projected image.

Press the RESET key to restore the

projected image before adjustment.

If the projected image is

trapezoidally-distorted in the lateral

plane

1 Press the KEYSTONE key on the

Remote Commander twice, or select

“H Keystone” in the Installation menu

to display the adjustment menu.

2 Adjust the value using V/v/B/b.

The higher the setting, the narrower the

right side of the projected image. The

lower the setting, the narrower the left

side of the projected image.

Black Level Adj.” for the most uniform

black level between each zone.

During this adjustment, a black image is

automatically projected.

6 Set “Blend Gamma.”

Select the gamma mode in which the

overlapping of images is least

noticeable.

• 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 34) 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.

1 Press the ?/1 key on the main unit or

the 1 key on the Remote Commander.

The projector starts shutdown and turns

off. If you press the ?/1 key on the main
