Precautions

On safety
• Operate the unit on 200 – 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz (SRX­T110), or 100 – 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz (SRX-T105).
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by your Sony dealer before operating it further.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet or set the power switch to the lower position 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 and the power switch is set to the upper position.
• 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.
• Have at least four people carry and handle the projector, to avoid accidents or injury.
• Avoid using an extension cord with a low voltage limit, as it may cause short-circuiting and physical injury.
• To carry the projector, be sure to use the carrying handles. Do not hold other parts of the projector, especially the lens, nor catch your finger between the handle, floor, and the projector.
• Do not catch your finger between the unit and surface of the floor when moving the projector installed on the floor.
• Be careful not to catch your finger in the cooling fan.
• Since an intense light has come out of this projector from the front, do not stand on the front of a projector for a long time.
• Should the lamp explode, it is dangerous to be near the ventilation holes for exhaust. Keep at least 2 m (approx.
6.6 feet) away from the projector’s ventilation holes for exhaust.

On installation
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation holes. Leave space of more than 100 cm (39

/8 inches) between the wall and the

projector. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that the temperature near the installation location is not excessive.
• Install the projector on the floor or hang it from the ceiling. Any other installation causes a malfunction such as color irregularity or a shorten lamp life.
Chapter 1 Overview
• Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or humidity, mechanical vibration or shock.
• To avoid moisture condensation, do not install the unit in a location where the temperature may rise rapidly.
For maximum protection, repack your unit as it was originally packed at the factory.
On “stuck” pixels on a LCD screen
The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with high precision technology. Thus a very small proportion of pixels may be “stuck”, either always off (black), always on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a long period of use, because of the physical characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such “stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously. These problems are not a malfunction.
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 build-up
After turning off the power, the cooling fan runs for about 10 minutes while the STATUS LAMP indicator flashes green.
Caution
The projector is equipped with ventilation holes (intake) at the front, upper side and right side, and ventilation holes (exhaust) at the rear and upper side. 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 prohibiting continuous lighting
Continuously lighting the Xenon lamp for 24 hours will reduce approximately half of its lamp life. Be sure to off the lamp for an hour or more after continuously lighting for 24 hours. To light the lamp continuously for 24 hours, it is recommended to use the lamps alternately. To use the lamps alternately, select “User-Defined” in “Single” (page
31) under “LAMP SELECT” in the INSTALLATION window and set the time.
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.
On repacking
Save the original shipping carton and packing material; they will come in handy if you ever have to ship your unit.
Precautions

Features

High Brightness, High Picture Quality
High brightness
The SRX-T110 uses two 2 kW Xenon lamps as a light source, and the SRX-T105 uses two 1 kW Xenon lamps. These compact-size Xenon lamps provide high brightness of 11,000 lumens for the SRX-T110 and 5,500 lumens for the SRX-T105, assuring excellent uniformity on the entire screen.
High resolution
Sony’s new, unique three SXRD™ (Silicon X-tal Reflective Display) panels with about 8,850,000 pixels realizes a high-resolution of 4096 × 2160 dots. The resolution corresponds to four times that of an HDTV image.
Multi-screen mode
The high resolution of the projector enables single-, dual­and quad-mode projection in which full HD images can be displayed even in each of two or four divided screens. Images from different input sources can be displayed in these divided screens simultaneously.
High contrast ratio
The combination of the SXRD imaging devices and 3PBS optical devices offers a high contrast ratio of 2500:1.
Gamma correction circuit
You can select a gamma value from 1.80 to 2.59 in 0.01 steps according to the signal input. (The values of 2.2 and
2.6 are fixed.) This allows projection of an image with
optimum brightness. (Only three types of gamma correction circuit, 1.8, 2.2 and 2.6, may be selectable according to the optional input board.)
Flexible and Reliable System
Dual lamp system
The projector adopts a dual lamp system for versatility of use. You can select dual-lamp or single-lamp mode, and can reduce each lamp’s power output. These modes allow you to save power and increase lamp life. Also, if one bulb burns out, the other keeps projecting images.
Versatile Setup
Various signal input
The projector is equipped with an RS232C connector and ETHERNET connector for communication. For signal inputs, the projector has four slots to which the optional analog input boards, HD-SDI input boards and DVI-D interface boards can be attached according to your requirement.
Optional lens
Optional zoom lenses are available depending on the projection distance you are setting up. The lens shift function of this projector enables easy setup. When the optional zoom lens equipped with zoom/focus memory function is installed, you can register the zoom and focus settings adjusted to fit the desired screen size. Registration of the settings adjusted for screen sizes of aspect ratio of 4:3 and 16:9 allows you to switch between them easily with the buttons in the window of the SRX Controller.
Chapter 1 Overview
Color space feature
The projector supports four standards of color tonal reproduction range, sRGB(ITU-R BT.709), DCDM, Adobe RGB and CIE XYZ, allowing you to obtain an image with precise color reproduction according to the input sources.
Squeeze function
A squeezed signal with a 4:3 aspect ratio is stretched horizontally to fit a 16:9 screen, and a signal with a 16:9 aspect ratio is stretched horizontally to fit a 2.39:1 screen. This function is available only for projection in single­screen mode and may not work depending on the signal type input.

The projector is equipped with ventilation holes for intake and exhaust to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place the projector in a place where the ventilation holes may be blocked.
Situation that may block the ventilation holes for exhaust
If you put something beside the ventilation holes for exhaust on the side or rear of the projector, the exhaust may be inhaled into the projector through the ventilation holes for intake, causing internal heat build-up and thereby
A sudden change of temperature may produce moisture condensation, causing damage to the projector. Take care with heaters or air-conditioners.
