Sony PL-CX125 User Manual

Brightness

Using three 0.79” HTPS LCD panels, these new XGA models
can produce between 3000 to 3500 ANSI Lumens of brightness
for clear, bright and crisp images every time and in any
environment.

Network Capability

RJ45 network capability lets you send content from your
PC through your corporate network to the VPL-CX125 and
VPL-CX155.

Side Shot™

Digital Horizontal Shift for ceiling mounted applications where
off-axes to the screen are not possible for the projector due to
building obstruction.

Connectivity

2x RGB (component x1) for flexible connections, Input A
for RGB or component and input B for RGB. RS232C port
for management and control, component video,
S-Video/composite video, audio 2x stereo mini jack.
Please note each input/output feature has its own dedicated
audio (stereo mini jack feature).

Monitor Out

The VPL-CX125 and VPL-CX155 projectors can display the
image simultaneously on a large screen and on an additional
monitor (via a 15-pin D Sub connection), so you can face the
audience and still see the information being shown.

Low Fan Noise

Quiet operation is vital for a compelling presentation. At only
28dB in standard mode, the operating noise of the VPL-CX125
or VPL-CX155 is quieter than a whisper.

Off and Go

No cool down time needed, just switch off and pack away!
The fan continues to cool after the power supply is removed,
so you can unplug the projector immediately after use without
damaging the lamp or optics.

Direct On/Off

Ceiling mounted projectors are often accidentally left on after
meetings, reducing the lamp life and wasting electricity. The
VPL-CX125 and VPL-CX155 can be set to skip the standby mode,
so they can be turned on and off directly by a main switch.

Password Protection

When this function is activated a password is required to use
the projector (if the password is lost, Sony is able to retrieve it).

Control Panel Lock

This switchable function locks the controls on the top and side
of the projector, to prevent unauthorised or unintentional use
of the controls.

Security Bar

The security bar is a visible security feature that deters or
prevents petty theft, by making it harder for a thief to remove
the projector from its mount or secure location.

RM-PJ18 Remote Commander

Full featured Remote Commander with ID Function that
allows up to three projectors to be individually managed
by one commander.

Easy Maintenance

The new VPL-CX125 & VPL-CX155 are designed with easy
maintenance in mind. Both the lamp and filters are easily
accessed for replacement and cleaning even when the
projector is still in its mounted installation bracket.

Environmentally aware design

Sony is committed to designing products with minimal
environmental impact. We strictly control the use of chemicals
and developing energy-saving technologies is a crucial part
of our product innovation. The cabinet and the printed wiring
boards of the C-Series projectors do not contain halogenated
flame-retardants, so even if they are burnt, no carcinogenic
dioxin is generated.

VPL-CX125 | VPL-CX155

The VPL-CX125 and VPL-CX155 are high brightness
projectors with the extra benefit of network capability.
The projectors are characterised by a large diameter lens
which incorporates Advance Crisp Focus (ACF) technology.
They are ideal for both education and corporate use, and
are suitable for ceiling, rear installation or portable use.

Network capability lets you easily host remote
conferences, transfer data and share information
without even being present. With the included Sony
AirShot Version 2 software, you can send content from
your PC or laptop to the projectors via your network.
This protects sensitive information, since it remains on
your PC, not on the projectors.
