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.

Image an Projecting/Adjusting

Projecting an Image 15

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.

Displaying a pattern for adjusting an image

You can display a pattern for adjusting the projected image with the PATTERN key on the Remote Commander. Press the PATTERN key again to restore the previous image.

Correcting for trapezoidal distortion of the projected image (Keystone adjustment)

If the screen is tilted, or you are projecting from an oblique angle, perform keystone adjustment.

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

1Press the KEYSTONE key on the Remote Commander once or select “V Keystone” in the Installation menu to display the adjustment menu.

2Adjust 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.

Increase setting

Decrease setting

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

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

1Press the KEYSTONE key on the Remote Commander twice, or select “H Keystone” in the Installation menu to display the adjustment menu.

2Adjust 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.

16 Projecting an 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)

You can correct image twist with the warp correction feature.

1Press the KEYSTONE key on the Remote Commander three times, or select “Warping” in the Installation menu, then select “Adjust.”

The guide is displayed.

correction

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

1Press 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.

2Unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.

To turn off without displaying confirmation message

Press and hold the ?/1 key on the main unit for a few seconds (page 43).
