Precautions
On safety
• Check that the operating voltage of your
unit is identical with the voltage of your
local power supply.
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into
the cabinet, unpl ug the unit an d ha v e it
checked by qualified personnel befo re
operating it further.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet i f it is
not to be used for sev e ral days.
• To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the
plug. Never pull the cord itself.
• The wall outlet should be ne ar the unit and
easily accessible.
• The unit is not disconnected to 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 t he lamp is
on.
• Do not place your hand or objects near the
ventilation holes. The air coming out is
hot.
• Be careful not to catch your fingers by the
adjuster when you lift up the projector. Do
not push hard on the top of the projecto r
with the adjuster out.
• Install the projector on the floor or ceilin g.
Any other installation causes a
mulfunction such as color irregu larity or
shortened lamp life.
• For ceiling installation, consult with
qualified Sony personnel.
On illum ination
• 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 buildup
After you turn off the power with the I / 1
key, do not disconnect the unit from the wall
outlet while the cooling fan is still running.
Caution
The projector is equipped with ventilation
holes (intake) and ven tilation holes
(exhaust). 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 ma y 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 sof t dry cloth. Do no t use
a damp cloth, dete rgent solution, or
thinner.
• Clean the filter at regular intervals.
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 th e factory.
On LCD projector
• The LCD projector is manufactured using
high-precision technology. You may,
however, see tiny black points and/or
bright points (red, blue, or green) that
continuously appear on the LCD projector.
This is a normal result of the
manufacturing process and does not
indicate a malfunction.

Precautions
Features
High p o rta bility
• Light weight/small size
This projector has been miniaturized to
approx. 3.3 kg (7 lb 4 oz) in weight and
A4-file size. A carrying handle is equipped
with the projector, so you can carry it
easily with your computer.
Reduced noise
Because the pr ojector uses a ne w cooling
mechanism, noise has been reduced.
High brightness, high picture
quality
• High brightness
Adopting the new developed optical
system and the 132 W UHP lamp allows
high brightness (VPL-CS10: light output
1000 ANSI lumen, VPL-CX10: light
output 1200 ANSI lumen) and excellent
uniformity on the picture.
• High resolution
VPL-CS10
Three 0.9-inch, about 480,000 pixel,
SVGA panels provide a resolution of 800
× 600 dots for RGB input and 600
horizontal TV lines for video input.
VPL-CX10
Three 0.9-inch, about 790,000 pixel, XGA
panels provide a re s olu tio n o f 10 24 × 768
dots for RGB input and 750 ho rizontal TV
lines for video input.
Simp le s e tu p
• Simple setup with external equipment
This projector is preset for 37 kinds of
input signals. You can project images from
an external signal source just by
connecting the equipment with the
supplied cabl e an d pu s hin g the AP A key .
• Compatible with USB (Universal Serial
Bus) hub fu nction
You can connect an USB equipment (e.g.,
USB mouse) to the projector, and also
control the projector by using the
application software (CD-ROM) supp lie d
with the projector from a computer
operated with Windows 98, Windows 98
SE or Windows 2000. Using this
application software, you can open a file
you want to use for yo ur prese ntation wi th
the supplied Remote Commander.
Easy presentation
• Multi functional Remote Commander
with mouse control functions
You can operate a computer connected to
this projector with the Remote
Commander since the unit has a build-in
mouse receiver.
• Digital ZOOM and FUNCTION keys
on the Remote Commander
The Digital ZOOM allows you to enhan ce
your presentation by zooming in on the
image. You can allocate a pr esentation file
to the FUNCTION keys by usi ng the
application software (CD-ROM) supplied
with the projector. Just pressing the
FUNCTION key opens the file
immediately.
Accepts various input signals
• Scan converter loaded
This projector has a build-in scan
converter that converts the input signal
within 800 × 600 dots (VPL-CS10) or
1024 × 768 dots (VPL-CX10).
• Compatible input signals
This projector accepts video signals of
composite, S video, and component as
well as 15k RGB, VGA, SVGA, XGA,
and SXGA signals, which all can be
displayed.
• Compatible with six color systems

This projector has 37 types of preset data for
input signals for INPUT-A (the preset
memory). When a preset signal is input, the
projector automatical ly detects the signal
type and recalls the data for the signal from
the preset memory to adjust it to an optimum
picture. The memory number and signal type
of that signal are displa ye d in the INP U T
SETTING menu. You can also adjust th e
preset data through the INPUT SETTING
menu.
This projector has 20 types of user memories
for INPUT-A into which you can save the
setting of the adjusted data for an unpreset
input signal.
When an unpreset signal is input for the first
time, a memory num ber is displayed as 00.
When you adjust th e data of the signal in the
INPUT SETTING menu, it will be
registered to the projector. If more than 20
user memories are registered, the newest
memory always overwr ites the oldest one.
See the chat on page 43 to find if the signal
is registered to the preset memory.
Since the data is recalled from the preset
memory about the following signals, yo u
can use these preset data by adjustin g SIZE.
Make fine adjustment by adjusting SHIFT.
Note
When the aspect ratio of input signal is other
than 4:3, a part of the screen is displayed in
black.
