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.

• 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.

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.
