Installation Procedures
By default, this projector is adjusted for 120-inch front projection on the
floor/desk. If you install the projector in other conditions, you have to
change some settings. Therefore, installation procedures depend on the
screen size or type, and installation method.
1 Verify the conditions of installation, such as angle of optical axis,
projection distance, height of the projector and screen.
2 Change the polarity according to the projection patterns.
3 Install the projector and screen.
4 Adjust the lens focus approximately.
5 Reset the registration data to the factory setting.
6 Adjust the CRT conversion angle.
7 Connect external video equipment.
The installation is completed.

Bottom
Installation
The standard hole for installation on the bottom surface is useful for
reference when measuring for installation. There are seven holes on the
bottom surface of the projector. For ceiling installation using the optional
PSS-90 Projector Suspension Support, use five holes to attach the PSS-90.
The other two holes are spare ones.
Notes
•Use only the M8 meter screws of 10 mm (13/32 inches) to 30 mm (1 3/16
inches) long for the attachment holes for the PSS-90.

Notes on Screen
Screen size
Installation
The screen size is the diagonal length of the screen in
inches, while the aspect ratio of the screen is 4:3. The
ratio of the screen height, width, and diagonal is 3:4:5.
4
3
If you use a screen with 4:3 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.
Height (mm) = Screen size × 25.4 ×
Width (mm) = Screen size × 25.4 × 4/5

screen width as shown below. Install the projector and
screen in accordance with the screen size obtained.

When the Screen Size is not Mentioned in the Tables
You can calculate the installation measurements described below when
you use the screen whose size is not mentioned in the tables on pages
(GB) and 14 (GB).
12
Check your installation conditions:
•Screen size to be used (S)
•Installation measurements at the end of the manual, ES and BS for
smaller screen size and EL and BL for larger screen size
See the tables on pages 153 (GB) to 158 (GB).
B
Center of the screen
Installation
Center of the green lens
E
E: Projection distance
B: Screen heights
Now you can calculate the installation measurements as follows:
E (mm) = ES + ((S – smaller screen size) × (EL – ES) × 0.1)
B (mm) = BS + ((S – smaller screen size) × (BL – BS) × 0.1) + 289
Example: when using 124-inch screen
According to the tables on page 154
(GB), the values E and B are as
follows:
ES = 3279, BS = 791 (As the smaller screen size is 120 inch.)
EL = 3570, BL = 861 (As the smaller screen size is 130 inch.)
Therefore,
E (mm) = 3279 + ((124 –120) × (3570 – 3279) × 0.1) = 3395.4 (mm)
B (mm) = 791 + ((124 – 120) × (861 – 791) × 0.1) + 289 = 1108 (mm)

Use five each of the M8×20 bolts, M8 washers and spring washers, all of
which are supplied with the PSS-90.
1 Align the two projections on the projector mounting bracket with the
receptacles on the bottom surface of the projector.
2 Fasten the five bolts and washers to fix the mounting bracket to the
five holes for attaching the PSS-90 on the bottom surface of the
projector.

What is the optical axis angle?
The optical axis angle is the angle between the horizontal level line and the
straight line from the center of the projector’s green lens to the center of
the screen. When using a rear projection screen, you can get the brightest
picture when the center of the screen is aligned with a straight line
extension of the center of the green lens.
Therefore, the most suitable optical axis angle varies depending on the
height of the screen and your line of sight.

Adjusting the CRT Conversion Angle
Installation
Adjust the CRT conversion angle so that the three CRT images converge
exactly.
1 Open the upper cover.
For details, see “Opening the Upper Cover” on page 18 (GB).
2 Turn on the power of the projector.
3 Set the remote commander to the service mode.
For details, see “Preparation of the Remote Commander” on page 42 (GB).
4 Reset the green, red and blue centering.
For details, see “Resetting the Data” on page 138 (GB).
5 Make sure that the on-screen display is shown as follows:
•The center of the green hatch pattern aligns with the horizontal center
of the screen.
•The center of the red and blue hatch patterns align at even intervals
from the green hatch pattern.
If the center of the green hatch pattern does not align with the center of
the screen, re-install the projector correctly.

adjustment screw from the 120 inch hole and insert it into the elliptic
hole for 90–300 inch screens. Then, loosen the other adjustment screw.
8 For screens other than 120 inch screens, move the red CRT right and
left so that the vertical line of the red cross hatch pattern converges
with the green pattern, then tighten the two adjustment screws (gold).
Caution
When moving the CRT, do not insert your hands into the small
opening between the lenses. Doing so may injure your hand.

About the keys on the control panel
The control panel is located inside the cover on the top
of the projector. The locations and functions of the
keys on the control panel are the same as those on the
remote commander.
For the keys on the remote commander, see page 46 (GB).
The keys on the control panel are basically effective
for this projector only. Only the commands from the
SYS SET key and the switcher select commands are
transmitted to the connected equipment via the PJ
COM connector.
Note
If you set the device index number to “00,” the
commands from the SYS SET key and the switcher
select commands will not be transmitted to the other
equipment. Do not set the device index number to
“00.”
!¶ PJ COM (projector communication) IN/OUT
connectors (D-sub 9-pin)
These are the connectors conforming to the RS-485
standards, especially designed to expand the system
using Sony projectors.
Use these connectors to connect the PJ COM system of
the PC-3000 Signal Interface Switcher, or to activate
the linked picture orbiting function.
When the cable is connected to the IN connector only,
attach the supplied terminator to the OUT connector.
To connect multiple projectors, connect the IN
connector to the OUT connector of another projector
in cascade, and attach the supplied terminator to the
OUT connector of the last projector.
For details on the specifications of the connector, refer to
the Protocol Manual prepared by Sony.
