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.

Notes

 Turn off all devices 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 unplugging a cable, be sure to grip the plug and not the cable itself.

 For more information, also refer to the instruction manual of the device to be connected.

Connecting to a Computer

INPUT A

This terminal is used when connecting the projector to a computer over a long distance.

To fi x t he HDMI ca bl e

As shown in the following figure, fix the HDMI cable to the screw hole above the terminal using a commercially available-cable bracket.

Connecting to an External Monitor

OUTPUT

This terminal outputs projected images. The images are output when a computer signal is input from the RGB input terminal (INPUT A, INPUT B) or a video signal is input from the YP

BPR input terminal (INPUT A).

Connecting to a Network Equipment

LAN cable (straight type) (not supplied)

Computer

LAN terminal

Hub, router, etc

When you monitor and control the projector via the network, access the Setup page of the projector (page 41) via a Web browser and enable the desired control protocol.

Using a LAN terminal

Notes

 When using network features via the LAN terminal, be sure to check if “LAN Setting” is set to “LAN Port” (page 31).  Connect the projector to the network that is constructed to control the access from the internet, such as LAN. If the

projector is connected directly to the internet, the security risk is increased.

Connecting to a HDBaseT™ Device

The HDBaseT transmitter is used when connecting the projector to a computer, video device, or network equipment.

Notes for connecting this unit to the HDBaseT transmitter

 Ask a professional or Sony dealer to perform wiring. If wiring has been insufficiently performed, it

affects the transmission characteristics of the cable, and causes broken or unstable images.

 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.

 The transmittable distance of the cable is 100 m (approx. 328 feet) maximum. If it exceeds 100 m

(approx. 328 feet), it may cause broken images or a malfunction in LAN communication. Do not use the HDBaseT transmitter beyond the maximum transmittable distance of the cable.

 For operation or function problems caused by devices of other manufacturers, contact the relevant

manufacturer.

Connecting to a network equipment (using an HDBaseT terminal)

The HDBaseT terminal is used when connecting the projector to a network equipment to control the projector.

Notes

 When using network features, be sure to check if “LAN Setting” is set to “via HDBaseT” (page 31).  Connect the projector directly to the HDBaseT transmitter without going through a hub or router.  Set “Extron XTP” in the Connection/Power menu to “On” when connecting to XTP Systems manufactured by Extron

Electronics (page 31).

Attaching the Terminal Cover

Ta b

Tab

You can attach the supplied terminal cover when the LAN terminal, INPUT D (HDMI), or INPUT E (HDBaseT) is limited to use for connection. Attaching the supplied terminal cover prevents dust from entering the terminals and maintains a neat appearance.

Note

The terminal cover may not be attached depending on the condition of the connected cables or installation methods, such as directly placing the unit on the floor. However, this has no impact on normal use.

1 Insert the tab of the terminal cover into the

slot and attach the terminal cover. Make sure that the tab of the terminal cover is

firmly inserted.

Removing the Terminal Cover

1 Pull out the terminal cover while pressing the

tab.

Press the RESET key to restore the projected image before adjustment.

*1: The setting may not be reset depending on the

combination of adjustment values of the Screen Fitting setting items. In this case, reset all of the Screen Fitting setting items.

Notes

 Keystone adjustment is an electronic correction.

Consequently the image quality may deteriorate.

 Depending on the position adjusted with the lens shift

feature, performing keystone adjustment may change the aspect ratio of the original image, or the projected image may be distorted.
