Precautions

On safety

¥Check that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with the voltage of your local power supply. If voltage adaptation is required, consult with qualified Sony personnel.

¥Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified Sony personnel before operating it further.

¥Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for several days.

¥To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

¥The wall outlet should be near the unit and easily accessible.

¥The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

¥Do not look into the lens while the lamp is on.

¥Do not place your hand or objects near the ventilation holes Ñ the air coming out is hot.

On installation

¥When the projector is mounted on the ceiling, the Sony PSS-2000 Projector Suspension Support must be used for installation.

¥Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation holes. Leave space of more than 30 cm (11 7/8 inches) between the wall and the projector. Be aware that room heat rises to the ceiling; check that the temperature near the installation location is not excessive.

¥Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or humidity, mechanical vibration or shock.

On illumination

¥To obtain the best picture, the front of the screen should not be exposed to direct lighting or sunlight.

¥Ceiling-mounted spot lighting is recommended. Use a cover over fluorescent lamps to avoid lowering the contrast ratio.

¥Cover any windows that face the screen with opaque draperies.

¥It is desirable to install the projector in a room where floor and walls are not of light-reflecting material. If the floor and walls are of reflecting material, it is recommended that the carpet and wall paper be changed to a dark color.

4 (GB)

On preventing internal heat build-up

After turning off the power, the cooling fan runs for about six minutes while the ON indicator flashes in green. The indicator flashes quickly for one minute. During that time, you will not be able to turn the power back on with the ON key.

Caution

The projector is equipped with ventilation holes (intake) at the bottom/ front side and ventilation holes (exhaust) at the left/right side.

Do not block or place anything near these holes, or internal heat build-up may occur, causing picture degradation or damage to the projector.

On cleaning

¥To keep the cabinet looking new, periodically clean it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner, benzene, or abrasive cleansers, since these will damage the cabinet.

¥Avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens, use a soft dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth, detergent solution, or thinner.

¥Clean the air filter in every 100 hours.

On repacking

Save the original shipping carton and packing material; they will come in handy if you ever have to ship your unit. For maximum protection, repack your unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

Features

High brightness, high picture quality

¥ High brightness

Adopting four 120 W UHP lamps and newly developed optical system povides high brightness (light output 3,100 of ANSI lumen) and excellent uniformity on the picture.

¥ High resolution

Thanks to use of three 1.8-inch XGA1) panels with approximately 790,000 pixels, the projector can project the sharp picture with the resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels.

¥ DRC (Digital Reality Creation)

The DRC technology allows you to obtain a finer, more detailed picture with four-times higher density than the conventional video picture.

Accepts various input signals

This projector has a built-in high performance scan converter which converts the input signals to display the 15 k RGB, HDTV, VGA1), SVGA1), XGA1), SXGA1) and UXGA1) (fV = 60 Hz) signals as well as the video signals of the composite, S video and component.

System expandability and versatility

The projector has RS-232C/422A/PJ COM interface connectors for communication.

By combining the interface boards and signal interface switcher (not supplied), VPL-FX200U/FX200E/FX200M projection systems can be greatly expanded. This projector also has the group and device index functions for using multiple projectors in one system.

Easy and flexible setup

¥ SonyÕs original APA (Auto Pixel Alignment) function

You can obtain the clearest picture automatically by simply pressing the APA key when the signal is input from a computer.

¥ Easy setup with external equipment

This projector has 39 preset data for input signals in the memory. You can get a picture properly on the screen by connecting equipment and pressing the APA key.

¥ Flexible setup

The lens shift function allows you to install the projector in a wide range of locations, without worrying about keystone distortion (the picture going out of square). The power focus and power zoom functions also let you change the size of the projection screen without having to move the projector.

¥ Stack installation

Thanks to the lens shift function, up to three projectors can be stacked, which improves the brightness of the image.

¥ Fail safe function

The projector uses four lamps for light source. Even if one of them has burnt out, you can still use the projector. If two lamps have burnt out, the projector will automatically enter into standby mode.

Notes on batteries

¥Make sure that the battery orientation is correct when inserting batteries.

¥Do not mix old battery with new one, or different types of batteries.

¥If you will not use the Remote Commander for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage from battery leakage. If batteries have leaked, remove them, wipe the battery compartment dry and replace the batteries with new ones.

Notes on wireless Remote Commander operation

¥Be sure that there is nothing to obstruct the infrared beam between the Remote Commander and the projector.

¥The operation range is limited. The shorter the distance between the Remote Commander and the projector, the wider the angle within which the commander can control the projector.

¥The remote control detectors on the projector do not operate when connecting the remote commander cable to the CONTROL S IN jack. If you wish to use the Remote Commander as a wireless Remote Commander, be sure to remove the remote commander cable from both the Remote Commander and the projector.

Precautions on Installation

Do not install the projector in the following situations. These installations may cause malfunction or damage to the projector.

Do not install the projector in an illventilated place

Avoid installing the projector in a location subject to excessive dust

The projector is equipped with ventilation holes for intake on the bottom and front and ventilation holes for exhaust on the left and right sides to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not block these ventilation holes and allow adequate air circulation at an installation location.

Do not place any object beside the projector

Do not use the projector while laying it on its side

Do not tilt the projector when in use

If you put something beside the ventilation holes on the sides, the exhaust may be inhaled into the projector through the ventilation holes (intake) at the bottom, causing the internal temperature to rise and thereby activating the protection circuit. Install the projector so that the exhaust is not blocked.

Do not install the projector in a location where temperature or humidity is very high

Avoid installing the projector in a location where temperature may rise or fall rapidly

Be careful of air-conditioning and heating in a room where the projector is installed, as sudden changes in temperature may lead to moisture condensation and cause damage to the projector.

18 (GB)

20¡

Avoid tilting the projector more than 20 degrees or installing it other than on the floor and ceiling. Such installations may cause malfunctions such as color irregularity or shortening of lamp life.

Do not cover the ventilation holes (exhaust)

Do not cover the front ventilation holes; otherwise, internal heat may build up.

Do not install the projector on a deep-pile carpet

If you install the projector on a deep-pile carpet, the ventilation holes (intake) at the bottom may be blocked, causing an internal heat build-up.

Installing the Projector on the Floor

This section describes the installation arrangements for installing the projector on the floor.

For ceiling installation, consult with qualified Sony personnel.

For details on installation examples with projection distances, see the supplied ÒProjection Distance ChartsÓ.

Connecting with a Computer or a VCR

This section describes how to connect the projector with a computer, VCR, and external active speakers.

For details on how to connect other equipment, see pages 33 (GB) to 35 (GB).

Also refer to the instruction manuals of the equipment to be connected.

When making connections, be sure to:

¥turn off all equipment before making any connections.

¥use the proper cables for each connection.

¥insert the plugs of the cables properly; plugs that are not fully inserted often generate noise. When pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it out by the plug, not the cable itself.

The vertical bands may occur when an RGB signal with horizontal resolution of more than 1024 × 768 pixels is input. In such cases, set to ON. The picture will loose some clarity, but the vertical bands will be reduced. Set to OFF to associate a dot of the input signal with a pixel of the LCD.

BLANKING

Adjusts if excess signals are seen with the picture, or the whole picture is not seen clearly.

About the memory function

The adjustment data for 39 types of input signals are preset at the factory (preset memory).

When a signal is input to the projector, the signal type is automatimally detected and the data for the signal is called from the memory to display an optimum picture. The data can be adjusted in the INPUT SETTING menu and the adjusted data will be saved as user memory.

When you save more than 200 user memories, the newest one always overwrites the oldest one.

The saved user memory number is displayed in the INPUT SETTING menu as N NO. ππ.

When an RGB signal other than the preset signals is input to the projector, the memory number is displayed as 0 and the closest option is automatically selected from the preset 39 types of signals.

Notes

¥When an RGB signal is input with sync on Green including external sync, the picture tone may be greenish. In this case, disconnect the external sync signal.

¥When an HDTV 1035/60i (BTA S-001B) signal is

input, the picture will appear widened. Adjust SIZE, SHIFT and BLANKING referring to the following levels as a standard.
