B Overview
Precautions
Warning
The Installation Manual contained in the
CD-ROM is for dealers.
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 a Sony dealer.
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.
• Be careful not to catch your fingers by the
adjuster when you adjust the height of the
projector. Do not push hard on the top of
the projector with the adjuster out.
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 buildup
The projector is equipped with ventilation
holes (intake) and ventilation holes
(exhaust) at the front. 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
• To keep the cabinet looking new,
periodically clean it with a soft cloth.
Stubborn stains may be removed with a
cloth lightly dampened with a mild
detergent solution. Never use strong
solvents, such as thinner, benzene, or
abrasive cleansers, since these will
damage the cabinet.
• 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.
• Clean the filter at regular intervals.
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.
On LCD projector
• The LCD projector is manufactured using
high-precision technology. You may,
however, see tiny black points and/or
bright points (red, blue, or green) that
continuously appear on the LCD projector.
This is a normal result of the
manufacturing process and does not
indicate a malfunction.
Overview
Precautions
5
For dealers
Please read throughly this Safety
Regulations and Installation Manual

Overview
Installing in such a location may cause
malfunction of the unit due to moisture
condensation or rise in temperature.
Near a heat or smoke sensor
Malfunction of the sensor may be caused.
Very dusty, extremely smoky
Avoid installing the unit in a very dusty or
extremely smoky environment. Otherwise,
the air filter will become obstructed, and this
may cause a malfunction of the unit or
damage it. Dust preventing the air passing
through the filter may cause a rise in the
internal temperature of the unit. Clean the
filter periodically.
• Avoid installing the unit in a location
where the temperature or humidity is very
high, or temperature is very low.
• To avoid moisture condensation, do not
install the unit in a location where the

8 Notes on Installation and Usage
Features
High brightness, high picture
quality
• High brightness
The high aperture ratio LCD panel with a
microlens and the 300 W lamp provide
high brightness (light output 6000 ANSI
lumen) and excellent uniformity on the
picture.
•High resolution
By adopting three 1.3-inch high definition
panel, approximately 790,000-pixels
XGA panels, the resolutions of 1024 ×768
pixels for RGB input, and 750 horizontal
TV lines for video input.
• High picture performance
The DDE (Dynamic Detail Enhancer)
technology, originally developed by Sony,
enables converting interlace format video
signals to progressive format, allowing
you to obtain a detailed picture.
The technology also reproduces the film
sources in 2-3 Pull-Down format with
smooth picture movement.
The internal RGB enhancer provides
sharper RGB pictures. The 10-bit 3D
Digital Gamma correction for good
picture uniformity is also provided.
Convenient and flexible setup
• Power zoom/power focus lens and the
lens shift function
The projector is equipped with a 1.3-times
power zoom and power focus lens*, which
allows you to change the size of the
projected image without having to move
the projector. The lens shift function
enables you to install the projector in a
wide range of locations, without worrying
about trapezoid distortion. Also, three
optional lenses are available for the
projector, depending on your setup
condition.
*For VPL-FX52 (with standard lens) only
• Center positioned lens
The projector is designed to locate the lens
in the center of the unit. This enables an
easy setup, as the lens center aligns with
the center of the screen.
• Tilt installation (in front and rear)
You can install the projector by tilting it 90
degrees at the rear or 90 degrees in front.
You can use a mirror for rear projection.
• Direct Power On/Power Off function

Connecting the Projector
When you connect the projector, make sure to:
• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
• Use the proper cables for each connection.
• Insert the cable plugs firmly; loose connections may increase noise and
reduce performance of picture signals. When pulling out a cable, be sure to
pull it out from the plug, not the cable itself.
Connecting with a Computer or a VCR
This section describes how to connect the projector to a computer or video
equipment.
For more information, refer to the computer’s instruction manual.
Notes
• The projector accepts VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, SXGA+ and UXGA (60 Hz)
signals. However, we recommend that you set the output mode of your computer to
XGA mode for the external monitor.
• If you set your computer, such as a notebook type, to output the signal to both your
computer’s display and the external monitor, the picture of the projector may not
appear properly. Set your computer to output the signal to only the external monitor.
For details, refer to the computer’s operating instructions supplied with your
computer.
• If you connect a computer that can use the DDC function to the INPUT C connector
on this unit, the picture of the projector may not be displayed properly. In that case,
change the setting on your computer to disable the DDC function.
• This projector is compatible with a DDC2B (Digital Data Channel 2B). If your
computer is compatible with a DDC, turn the projector on according to the following
procedures.
1 Connect the projector to the computer by using the HD D-sub 15-pin cable or DVI
cable.
2 Turn the projector on.
3 Start the computer.
