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.

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.

Blending Projections from Multiple Projectors on a Screen

1 Install the projectors.

Input a pattern, etc., to adjust the projected positions from multiple projectors.

2 Set the ID mode.

Set a different ID mode for each projector (page 32).

3 Set the picture mode.

Set the picture mode of the multiple projectors to “Multi Screen” (page 25).

4 Unify the color space.

Set the color space of the multiple projectors to the same mode (Custom 1 to 3) (page 36). R/G/B can be finely adjusted as necessary.

5 Adjust the color matching setting.

Finely adjust each tone as necessary

(page 36).

6 Set the Edge Blending setting.

When overlaying multiple projections, the Edge Blending setting is available. 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.

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.”

•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.
