Preparation

HDMI cable (not supplied)

Notes for connecting this unit and the HDBaseT transmitter

• Ask a professional or Sony dealer to perform wiring. If wiring is not correct, the transmission characteristics of the cable will not be achieved, and image or sound may break up or you may experience unstable performance.

• Connect the cable directly to the HDBaseT transmitter without going through a hub or router.

• Use cables that meet the following conditions.

-CAT5e or higher

-Shielded type (covering connectors)

-Straight wire connection

-Single wire

• When installing the cables, use a cable tester, cable analyzer, or similar device to check if the cables meet the CAT5e or higher requirement. If there is a transit connector between this unit and the HDBaseT transmitter, include it when measuring.

• To reduce the affect of noise, install and use the cable in a manner where it is not rolled up and it is as straight as possible.

• Install the cable away from the other cables (especially the power cable).

Connecting the Projector

Page 14

• When installing multiple cables, do not bind them and keep the running parallel distance as short as possible.

• The transmittable distance of the cable is 100 m (approx. 328 feet) maximum. If it exceeds 100 m (approx. 328 feet), it may cause the image or the sound to break up, or cause a multifunction in LAN communication. Do not use the HDBaseT transmitter beyond the transmittable distance.

• Inquire about operation or function problems caused by other manufacturer's devices with the relevant manufacturer.

1 Lift up the lower end of the lens shift cover

with your finger to remove it.

2 Insert a Philips screwdriver to the 1H shift

screw inside the unit and turn it to adjust right or left, and to the 2V shift screw to adjust up or down. Be careful not to look into the lens. Continued turning of these screws will return the lens shift to its original position. Adjust the screws to set the lens shift to the optimum position. For details on the adjustment range, see the “Lens shift range” (page 69).

Adjusting the tilt of the projector with the front feet (adjustable)

You can adjust the height of the projector pushing the side button on this unit. By changing the slope of the projector with front feet (adjustable), you can adjust the position of the projected image.

How to alter the angle

1 Push in the foot adjust button at the side of

the unit.

2 Keeping the button pushed in, raise the

main unit to the desired angle.

3 Release the foot adjust button. 4 For fine positioning, turn the right and left

front feet (adjustable) beneath the unit.

Notes

• Be careful not to let the projector down on your fingers.

• Do not push hard on the top of the projector with the front feet (adjustable) extended. It may cause malfunction.

notice that the lamp has dimmed when its brightness is restored after there is a change in input

signal. *5: This mode does not work for about three minutes after the lamp lights. A change in signal may

not be detected depending on the input image. The lamp may become brighter at intervals

Replacing the Lamp

Replace the lamp with a new one if a message displayed on the projected image (pages 53, 54). Use an LMP-C281/C250 projector lamp (not supplied) for replacement.

Caution

• The lamp remains hot after the projector is turned off. If you touch the lamp, you may

burn your finger. When you replace the lamp, wait for at least an hour after turning off the projector for the lamp to cool sufficiently.

• Do not allow any metallic or inflammable objects into the lamp replacement slot after removing the lamp, otherwise it may cause electrical shock or fire. Do not put your hands into the slot.

Notes

• If the lamp breaks, contact qualified Sony personnel. Do not replace the lamp yourself.

• When removing the lamp, be sure to pull it out straight, by holding the designated location. If you touch a part of the lamp other than the designated location, you may be burned or injured. If you pull out the lamp while the projector is tilted, the pieces may scatter if the lamp breaks any may cause injury.

1 Turn off the projector, and disconnect

the AC power cord from a wall outlet.

2 When the lamp has cooled

sufficiently, open the lamp cover by loosening 3 screws.

You can remove the lamp cover for a while when installing on the ceiling. Take care to prevent the lamp cover from falling down, as it is not fixed. Do not apply pressure to the lamp cover while it is open.

Projection Distance and Lens Shift Range

The following describes the projection distance and height from lens center to bottom of screen by each projected screen size. The projection distance is the distance between the front of the lens and the surface of the projected image. Height H is the height from the bottom of the projected image (top for ceiling mount) to A (determined by drawing a perpendicular line from lens center to projected image surface). For this unit, the same projection distance calculations apply to both floor and ceiling installation.
