About Remote Commander operation
• Direct the Remote Commander toward the
remote control detector.
• 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 detector on the projector, the
projector may not be able to receive
signals from the Remote Commander.

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.

Adjusting the tilt of the projector
with the front feet (adjustable)
When the projector is installed on an uneven
surface or the projected position is low, you
can adjust using the front feet (adjustable).
To correct any trapezoidal distortion of the
projected image, use the Keystone
correction feature (pages 13, 28).
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.
• Keystone adjustment is an electronic
correction. Consequently the image quality
may deteriorate.

Notes
• The procedure shown above is for general
guidance. Your own installation may vary
according to the situation.
• In case of multiple projectors, use the color
matching function (page 30) to adjust for
differences in color and brightness.
Note that more detailed adjustment for Edge
Blending is possible using a PC application.
For more details, consult with qualified Sony
personnel.
• 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.

Caution
If you neglect to clean the air filter, dust may
accumulate, clogging it. As a result, the
temperature may rise inside the unit,
leading to a possible malfunction or fire.
1 Turn off the projector, and disconnect
the AC power cord from the AC outlet.
2 Open the air filter cover by loosening
the screw on the air filter cover.

3 Pull out the air filter unit.
4 Clean the air filter with a vacuum
cleaner.
Remove the air filter as illustrated below,
then clean the two air filters.

5 Return the air filter to the air filter unit
then return it to the projector.
6 Close the air filter cover and tighten
the screw.
Notes
• Be sure to attach the air filter unit and air
filter cover firmly; the power cannot be
turned on if it is not closed securely.
• Do not loosen screws other than that on the

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%.

Do not use any lens other than the standard lens.

About lens position
The projection distance and lens shift range
are measured with the lens position adjusted
to the center. To adjust the lens position to
the center, follow the procedures below:
1 Rotate the left lens shift dial clockwise
or counterclockwise then align the
lens fixing screws with the v V marks
in four places, as illustrated, for
adjusting the lens horizontally.
2 Rotate the right lens shift dial
clockwise until the lens is fixed, to
adjust the lens vertically.

+ = 60 – 1.875 × HS (HS + or HS –) [%]
– = 0 [%]

Note
Before adjusting the lens position to the center
and checking whether the lens position is
centered, turn off the power to prevent
projected light from entering the eyes.
