About Remote Commander operation

• Direct the Remote Commander toward the
remote control receiver.

• The shorter the distance between the
Remote Commander and the projector is,
the wider the angle within which the
Remote Commander can control the
projector becomes.

• If there is any obstruction between the
Remote Commander and the remote
control receiver on the projector, the
projector may not be able to receive
signals from the Remote Commander.

Note

If you set “ECO Mode” to “ECO,” or
“Standby Mode” (in “User”) to “Low,”
the network control function will be
disabled in standby mode. If the external
control is being performed by using the
network or network control function, do
not select “ECO,” or do not set “Standby
Mode” (in “User”) to “Low.”

B Preparation

Connecting the Projector

Notes

• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.

• Use the proper cables for each connection.

• Insert the cable plugs firmly; Loose connections may reduce performance of picture signals or
cause a malfunction. When pulling out a cable, be sure to grip it by the plug, not the cable itself.

• For more information, refer also to the instruction manuals of the equipment you are connecting.

• Use a no-resistance audio cable.

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).

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

14

• 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.

Select “Multi Screen” in the Installation
menu, then select “Edge Blending”

(page 36).

7 Enable the Edge Blending function.

In “Blend Settings,” set “Edge
Blending” to “On” for each blending
position.

8 Set the blending width.

Set the blending width according to the
overlapping range for the source signal.

Assign the width here.

• The procedure shown above is for general
guidance. Your own installation may vary
according to the situation.

• When multiple projectors are set up in a line,
the temperature inside the projectors may
increase due to exhaust vent proximity, and
an error indication may result.
In this case, space the projectors farther apart
and/or install deflection partitioning between
them.
For more details, consult with qualified Sony
personnel.

Turning Off the Power

1 Press the ?/1 key on the unit or the

remote commander.

The projector starts shutdown and turns
off. If you press the ?/1 key within 10
seconds again, shutdown is cancelled.

Note

Do not turn off the projector soon after the
lamp lights. It may cause a malfunction of
the lamp (does not light ,etc.).

2 Unplug the AC power cord from the

wall outlet.

9 Adjust using “Blend Fitting.”

Finely adjust the overlapped area.

10Adjust using “Zone Black Level Adj.”

Adjust each correction zone by “Zone
Black Level Adj.” for the most uniform
black level between each zone.
During this adjustment, a black image is
automatically projected.

Notes

• Depending on the blending start position or
the blending width, the menu may overlap
with the blending area and become invisible.
If you want to operate the projector while
viewing the menu, set “Edge Blending” to
“Off” once and make adjustments. Then, set
“Edge Blending” to “On.”

To turn off without displaying
confirmation message

Press and hold the ?/1 key on the unit for a
few seconds (page 34).

Notes

• If you turn off the unit soon after the lamp is
turned on, the confirmation message will be
displayed and may take a longer time for the
unit to turn off.

• If you turn on the unit soon after the unit is
turned off, it may take a longer time for the
unit to put out the image.

equipment properly.

Check if the computer signal is set for output to an external
monitor. If you set your computer, such as a notebook
computer, to output the signal to both your computer’s display
and an external monitor, the picture of the external monitor
may not appear properly. Set your computer to output the
signal to only an external monitor.

Check if the input source is correctly selected. 17

Check if the picture is muted. 7

During “Zone Black Level Adj.” adjustment, a black image is
automatically projected.

Set “HDMI Cable” to “Long.” 34

The on-screen display does not appear when “Status” in the
Operation menu is set to “Off” or “All Off.”

The image may not be displayed correctly with an input signal
the projector cannot interpret correctly. In such a case, set
“Aspect” manually.

Check if “Screen Aspect” is correctly selected. 37

The images become trapezoidal because of the projection
angle. In such a case, you can correct the trapezoidal
distortion, using a Keystone feature.

If you use the lens shift function with a setting outside the
recommended range, edges of the image may be cut off or
appear dark. Use a setting within the normal range for the lens
shift function.

Disable the warp correction feature.

The settings for “Brightness,” “Contrast,” and “Lamp Mode”
affect brightness of the image. Check if the value is
appropriate.

When video signal is not input, the lamp is dimmed to reduce
power consumption.

51

Replacing the Lamp

Replace the lamp with a new one if a message displayed on the projected image (page 49).
Use an LMP-F370/F280 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.

Cleaning the Air Filter

When the message that prompts cleaning the
air filter appears, clean the air filter.
If the dust cannot be removed from the air
filter even after cleaning, replace the air filter
with a new one.
For details on a new air filter, consult with
qualified Sony personnel.

Caution

If you continue to use the projector even
after the message is displayed, dust may
accumulate, clogging it. As a result, the
temperature may rise inside the unit,
leading to a possible malfunction or fire.

Projection Distance and Lens Shift Range

The projection distance refers to the distance between the front of the lens and the projected
surface.

Projection distance L

Projected image

Front of the lens

The lens shift range represents the distance in percent (%) by which the lens can be shifted from
the center of the projected image. The lens shift range is regarded as 0% when the point (A) in
the illustration (point where a line drawn from the center of the lens and the projected image
cross at right angles) is aligned with the center of the projected image and full width or full
height of the projected image is regarded as 100%.
