Precautions
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.
On installation
•When the projector is mounted on the ceiling, the Sony PSS-2000
Projector Suspension Support must be used for 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
30 cm (11
7
/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.
•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.
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.
5
(GB)
On preventing internal heat build-up
•After turning off the power, the cooling fan runs for about six minutes
while the ON indicator flashes in green. The indicator flashes quickly for
30 seconds. During that time, you will not be able to turn the power back
on with the ON key.
Caution
The projector is equipped with ventilation holes (intake) at the bottom/
front side and ventilation holes (exhaust) at the left/right 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 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 air filter in every 100 hours.
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.

Features
High brightness, high picture quality
• High brightness
Adopting four 120 W UHP lamps and newly developed optical system
povides high brightness (light output 2400 of ANSI lumen) and excellent
uniformity on the picture.
• High resolution
Thanks to use of three 1.8-inch XGA
1)
panels with approximately 790,000
pixels, the projector can project the sharp picture with the resolution of
1024 × 768 pixels.
• DRC (Digital Reality Creation)
The DRC technology allows you to obtain a finer, more detailed picture
with four-times higher density than the conventional video picture.
Accepts various input signals
This projector has a built-in high performance scan converter which
converts the input signals to display the 15 k RGB, HDTV, VGA
1)
,
SVGA
1)
, XGA1), SXGA
1)
and UXGA1) (fV = 60 Hz) signals as well as the
video signals of the composite, S video and component.
System expandability and versatility
The projector has RS-232C/422A/PJ COM interface connectors for
communication.
By combining the interface boards and signal interface switcher (not
supplied), VPL-X2000U/X2000E/X2000M projection systems can be
greatly expanded. This projector also has the group and device index
functions for using multiple projectors in one system.
Easy and flexible setup
• Sony’s original APA (Auto Pixel Alignment) function
You can obtain the clearest picture automatically by simply pressing the
APA key when the signal is input from a computer.
• Easy setup with external equipment
This projector has 39 preset data for input signals in the memory. You can
get a picture properly on the screen by connecting equipment and pressing
the APA key.
1) VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA and UXGA are the registered
trademarks of the International Business Machines
Corporation, U.S.A.
The lens shift function allows you to install the projector in a wide range
of locations, without worrying about keystone distortion (the picture going
out of square). The power focus and power zoom functions also let you
change the size of the projection screen without having to move the
projector.
• Stack installation
Thanks to the lens shift function, up to three projectors can be stacked,
which improves the brightness of the image.
• Fail safe function
The projector uses four lamps for light source. Even if one of them has
burnt out, you can still use the projector. If two lamps have burnt out, the
projector will automatically enter into standby mode.

them, wipe the battery compartment dry and replace
the batteries with new ones.
Notes on wireless Remote Commander
operation
•Be sure that there is nothing to obstruct the infrared
beam between the Remote Commander and the
projector.
•The operation range is limited. The shorter the
distance between the Remote Commander and the
projector, the wider the angle within which the
commander can control the projector.
•The remote control detectors on the projector do not
operate when connecting the remote commander
cable to the CONTROL S IN jack. If you wish to use
the Remote Commander as a wireless Remote
Commander, be sure to remove the remote
commander cable from both the Remote Commander
and the projector.
To connect the Remote Commander to the
projector
Note on wired Remote Commander operation
using the supplied remote commander cable
(stereo)
You do not need to install the batteries since the power
is supplied from the CONTROL S IN jack on the
projector. In this case, the batteries are not consumed.
Be sure to install the battery
from the ’ side.

Do not install the projector in an illventilated place
The projector is equipped with ventilation holes for intake
on the bottom and front and ventilation holes for exhaust on
the left and right sides to prevent internal heat build-up. Do
not block these ventilation holes and allow adequate air
circulation at an installation location.
Do not place any object beside the
projector
If you put something beside the ventilation holes on the
sides, the exhaust may be inhaled into the projector through
the ventilation holes (intake) at the bottom, causing the
internal temperature to rise and thereby activating the
protection circuit. Install the projector so that the exhaust is
not blocked.
Do not install the projector in a location
where temperature or humidity is very high
Avoid installing the projector in a location
where temperature may rise or fall rapidly
Be careful of air-conditioning and heating in a room where
the projector is installed, as sudden changes in temperature
may lead to moisture condensation and cause damage to the
projector.
Precautions on Installation
Do not install the projector in the following situations. These installations
may cause malfunction or damage to the projector.
Avoid installing the projector in a location
subject to excessive dust
Do not use the projector while laying it on
its side
Do not tilt the projector when in use
Avoid tilting the projector more than 20 degrees or installing
it other than on the floor and ceiling. Such installations may
cause malfunctions such as color irregularity or shortening
of lamp life.
Do not cover the ventilation holes
(exhaust)
Do not cover the front ventilation holes; otherwise, internal
heat may build up.
Do not install the projector on a deep-pile
carpet
If you install the projector on a deep-pile carpet, the
ventilation holes (intake) at the bottom may be blocked,
causing an internal heat build-up.

About the memory function
The adjustment data for 39 types of input signals are
preset at the factory (preset memory).
When a signal is input to the projector, the signal type
is automatimally detected and the data for the signal is
called from the memory to display an optimum picture.
The data can be adjusted in the INPUT SETTING
menu and the adjusted data will be saved as user
memory.
When you save more than 200 user memories, the
newest one always overwrites the oldest one.
The saved user memory number is displayed in the
INPUT SETTING menu as n NO. ππ.
When an RGB signal other than the preset signals is
input to the projector, the memory number is displayed
as 0 and the closest option is automatically selected
from the preset 39 types of signals.

Precautions
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.
•Carry and handle the projector by more than two people due to an
incident of an injury.
•Avoid using an extension cord with a low voltage limited since it may
cause the short-circuit and physical incidents.
•To carry the projector, be sure to use the carrying handle. 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.
•Do not carry the projector by holding the cover of the cabinet.
•Do not carry the projector with the cabinet on and with its cover open.
On installation
•When the projector is mounted on the ceiling, the Sony PSS-2000
Projector Suspension Support must be used for 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
30 cm (11
7
/
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 ceiling. Any other installation causes a
mulfunction such as color irregularity or shortening lamp life.
•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.
•Do not install the projector on the low ceiling.
•Be sure to secure the cabinet cover firmly when installing to the ceiling
firmly.

(GB)
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 six minutes
while the ON indicator flashes in green. The indicator flashes quickly for
30 seconds. During that time, you will not be able to turn the power back
on with the ON key.
Caution
The projector is equipped with ventilation holes (intake) at the bottom/
front side and ventilation holes (exhaust) at the left/right 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 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 air filter in every 100 hours.
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.

not block these ventilation holes and allow adequate air
circulation at an installation location.
Do not place any object beside the
projector
If you put something beside the ventilation holes on the
sides, the exhaust may be inhaled into the projector through
the ventilation holes (intake) at the bottom, causing the
internal temperature to rise and thereby activating the
protection circuit. Install the projector so that the exhaust is
not blocked.
Do not install the projector in a location
where temperature or humidity is very high
Avoid installing the projector in a location
where temperature may rise or fall rapidly
Be careful of air-conditioning and heating in a room where
the projector is installed, as sudden changes in temperature
may lead to moisture condensation and cause damage to the
projector.
Avoid installing the projector in a location
subject to excessive dust
Do not use the projector while laying it on
its side
Do not tilt the projector when in use
Avoid tilting the projector more than 20 degrees or installing
it other than on the floor and ceiling. Such installations may
cause malfunctions such as color irregularity or shortening
of lamp life.
Do not cover the ventilation holes
(exhaust)
Do not cover the front ventilation holes; otherwise, internal
heat may build up.
Do not install the projector on a deep-pile
carpet
If you install the projector on a deep-pile carpet, the
ventilation holes (intake) at the bottom may be blocked,
causing an internal heat build-up.

Screen size
The screen size is the diagonal length of the screen in inches, while the
aspect ratio of the screen is 3:4. The ratio of the screen height, width, and
diagonal is 3:4:5.
If you use a screen with 3:4 aspect ratio whose size is not given in the
table below, you can calculate the screen height and width from the
screen size (inches) as follows.
Calculate at the conversion rate of 25.4 mm to the inch.
The bead screen is recommended. A screen of this type reflects the
brightest light.

About the memory function
The adjustment data for 39 types of input signals are
preset at the factory (preset memory).
When a signal is input to the projector, the signal type
is automatimally detected and the data for the signal is
called from the memory to display an optimum picture.
The data can be adjusted in the INPUT SETTING
menu and the adjusted data will be saved as user
memory.
When you save more than 200 user memories, the
newest one always overwrites the oldest one.
The saved user memory number is displayed in the
INPUT SETTING menu as n NO. ππ.
When an RGB signal other than the preset signals is
input to the projector, the memory number is displayed
as 0 and the closest option is automatically selected
from the preset 39 types of signals.
