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.

Adjusting the tilt of the projector
with the rear feet (adjustable)

When the projector is installed on an uneven
surface, you can adjust using the rear feet
(adjustable). To correct any trapezoidal
distortion of the projected image, use the
Keystone correction feature (pages 16, 32).
You can also broaden the adjustment range
by removing the nuts from the rear feet
(adjustable).

Notes

• Be careful not to let the projector down on
your fingers.

• Do not push hard on the top of the projector
with the rear feet (adjustable) extended. It
may cause a malfunction.

• Keystone adjustment is an electronic
correction. Consequently the image quality
may deteriorate.

If the projected image is
trapezoidally-distorted in the vertical
plane

1 Press the KEYSTONE key on the

Remote Commander once or select “V
Keystone” in the Installation menu to
display the adjustment menu.

2 Adjust the value using V/v/B/b.

The higher the setting, the narrower the
top of the projected image. The lower
the setting, the narrower the bottom of
the projected image.

Projecting an Image

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

If the projected image is
trapezoidally-distorted in the lateral
plane

1 Press the KEYSTONE key on the

Remote Commander twice, or select
“H Keystone” in the Installation menu
to display the adjustment menu.

2 Adjust the value using V/v/B/b.

The higher the setting, the narrower the
right side of the projected image. The
lower the setting, the narrower the left
side of the projected image.

Increase the setting

Decrease setting

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

Notes

• Keystone adjustment is an electronic
correction. Consequently the image quality
may deteriorate.

• Depending on the position adjusted with the
lens shift feature, using the Keystone feature
may change the aspect ratio of the original
image, or the projected image may be
distorted.

• If keystone correction is performed using the
KEYSTONE key, the Warp correction
feature (if enabled) will be canceled.

Correcting image twist (Warp
correction feature)

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

6 Set “Blend Gamma.”

Select the gamma mode in which the
overlapping of images is least
noticeable.

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 34) 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.
For more details, consult with qualified Sony
personnel.

Turning Off the Power

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

the 1 key on the Remote Commander.

The projector starts shutdown and turns
off. If you press the ?/1 key on the main
unit or the ? key on the Remote
Commander within 5 seconds again,
shutdown is cancelled.

2 Unplug the AC power cord from the

wall outlet.

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. 14

Check if the picture is muted. 6

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

Check if “Screen Aspect” is correctly selected. 33

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.

Troubleshooting

Cleaning the Air Filter

When a message appears on the projected
image indicating time for a filter cleaning,
clean the air filter (pages 39, 40).
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.

Note

Turn off the projector and disconnect the AC
power cord from a wall outlet before cleaning
the air filter.

1 Turn off the projector and disconnect

the AC power cord from a wall outlet.
