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.

(GB)
• Flexible setup
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.

Battery installation
1
Push to open the lid.
2
Install three R6 (size AA) batteries (supplied) with the polarities correctly aligned.
3
Replace the lid.
Notes on batteries
•Make sure that the battery orientation is correct when inserting batteries.
•Do not mix old battery with new one, or different types of batteries.
•If you will not use the Remote Commander for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage from battery leakage. If batteries have leaked, remove 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

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.

Change either number of the switchers that have the same number.
Note
If the switcher is in standby mode, the message appears only in the message display window.
45
(GB)
Setting the Index Numbers
When you connect multiple projectors in your system, you have to set the group index and device index numbers for each projector.
To set the group index number
If you set the same group index number for multiple projectors, you can operate multiple projectors and switchers simultaneously (such as input selection) by designating the number. The group index number can be set in the menu.
For group index number setting, see page 31 (GB).
To set the device index number
If you set the device index number, you can control each projector individually with the supplied Remote Commander. The device index number can be set with the DEVICE INDEX switches on the rear of the projector. It is set to “01” at the factory. If only one projector is connected, set it to “01.”
Notes
•Do not set the same device index number for the projectors in the same system.
•Do not set the number to “00.” If you do, the projector will be operated only with the keys on the control panel. It cannot be controlled with the wired or wireless Remote Commander, or with an external equipment to which the PJ COM connectors are connected.

For setting the group index number, see “GROUP INDEX” on page 31 (GB).
•Set the correct group and device index numbers and the switcher number.
Do not set the same device index number or the same switcher number in one group. For example, if there are different pieces of equipment with the switcher number 1, the error message will appear when the SYS SET key is pressed.
•Set the switcher that outputs the signal to the projector to number 1.
Set the same group index number.
Set the different group index number for two systems.
Set the same group index number.

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.
5
(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.

9 TRIG (trigger output) jack (monaural minijack)
The signal is transmitted from this jack to the connected equipment whether the projector is on or off. (This is not a power source for external equipment.) When the power is on, the TRIG jack transmits approximately 12 V trigger signal to external equipment connected to the projector. This signal is useful when you connect a system integrator, etc., to the projector; you can pull down an electric screen, draw an electric curtain, or dim lights at the same time as you turn on the projector power. (You cannot use the trigger signal as a power source.) This jack outputs 0 V DC when the power is off.
!º DEVICE INDEX switch
Set the device index number of the projector when using multiple projectors. You can set the numbers between “01” and “99”. It is set to “01” at the factory. You can also set the group index number in the menu for system setup.

Precautions on Installation
Do not install the projector in the following situations. These installations may cause malfunction or damage to the projector.
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.
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.

Installation Examples
Installing the Projectors Using the SU-PJ2000 Projector Stand
Note on stacking
To properly align the pictures from both projectors, set the zoom to the center of the adjustment range. 1 Install the projector following the “a” value in the
stacking example.
2 Use the zoom to align the pictures from the first
and second projectors so that they fill the screen.
When installing the projectors using the SU-PJ2000 projector stand for stacking, install the projectors following the installation measurements below.
Available screen size for stacking
When attaching the VPLL-Z2019, VPLL-Z2025 and VPLL-Z2039 lens (not supplied), 80 to 500-inches screens are available for twin stack installation, and 100 to 500-inches screens are available for triple stack installation.
Notes
•If the VPLL-2009, VPLL-2014 or VPLL-2075 optional lens is mounted, you cannot perform stack installation.
•For safety and maintenance purposes, install the projectors away from the wall. Leave a minimum space of 30 cm (11
7
/8 inches) from both sides and a
minimum space of 70 cm (27
5
/8 inches) from the
rear.
For details on how to install the SU-PJ2000 projector stand, refer to the installation manual supplied with the SU­PJ2000 projector stand.

Connection Examples
Confirming the System Construction
After all the connections are complete, confirm that equipment of the system is properly setup.
1
Connect the AC cords of all equipment to the AC outlets.
2
Press the SYS SET key on the Remote Commander. You can also press the LIGHT and RESET keys simultaneously on the control panel for the same effect. Information on the system construction and the settings of the interface boards, etc. are automatically confirmed. Then the message disappears.
Note
When you want to use the projector without connecting the switcher after using the switcher in the system connections, it is necessary to confirm the system construction again by pressing the SYS SET key or the LIGHT and RESET keys after all the connections are complete. If you press the key(s), “Master Switcher not exist” appears, but the system construction is automatically recognized.
When a system error is detected
The following messages are displayed on the screen and display window:
Message
Master Switcher not exist.
Same DEVICE INDEX for Projector detected.
Same DEVICE INDEX for Switcher detected.
Remedy
Set the switcher that outputs the signal to the projector to number 1.
Change either number of the projectors that have the same number.
Change either number of the switchers that have the same number.
Note
If the switcher is in standby mode, the message appears only in the message display window.

(GB)
Setting the Index Numbers
When you connect multiple projectors in your system, you have to set the group index and device index numbers for each projector.
To set the group index number
If you set the same group index number for multiple projectors, you can operate multiple projectors and switchers simultaneously (such as input selection) by designating the number. The group index number can be set in the menu.
For group index number setting, see page 56 (GB).
To set the device index number
If you set the device index number, you can control each projector individually with the supplied Remote Commander. The device index number can be set with the DEVICE INDEX switches on the rear of the projector. It is set to “01” at the factory. If only one projector is connected, set it to “01.”
Notes
•Do not set the same device index number for the projectors in the same system.
•Do not set the number to “00.” If you do, the projector will be operated only with the keys on the control panel. It cannot be controlled with the wired or wireless Remote Commander, or with an external equipment to which the PJ COM connectors are connected.

Notes on setting of the index number
•Set the same group index number for all equipment of the same system connection (those on the signal route between the signal source and the projector).
For setting the group index number, see “GROUP INDEX” on page 56 (GB).
•Set the correct group and device index numbers and the switcher number.
Do not set the same device index number or the same switcher number in one group. For example, if there are different pieces of equipment with the switcher number 1, the error message will appear when the SYS SET key is pressed.
•Set the switcher that outputs the signal to the projector to number 1.
Set the same group index number.
Set the different group index number for two systems.
Set the same group index number.
Set this switcher to 1.
Notes on connections when two or more switchers are used
•Mount the IFB-12A interface board to the slot 1 of the number n switcher and connect the output connector of the number (n+1) switcher to the IFB-12A.
•You can attach the IFB-12A signal interface board (when the IN/OUT switch is set to OUT) only to the number 1 switcher.

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.
