About Remote Commander operation

• Direct the Remote Commander toward the
remote control detector.

• 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 detector on the projector, the
projector may not be able to receive
signals from the Remote Commander.

Replacing the Lamp

Replace the lamp with a new one if a message displayed on the projected image or the LAMP/
COVER indicator notifies you to replace the lamp (pages 30, 31).
Use an LMP-F230 projector lamp (for VPL-FX30)(not supplied), LMP-F272 projector lamp
(for VPL-FH30/VPL-FX35)(not supplied), LMP-F331 projector lamp (for VPL-FH35)(not
supplied) for replacement.

Caution

• The lamp remains hot after the projector is

turned off. If you touch the lamp, you may

burn your finger. When you replace the
lamp, wait for at least an hour after
turning off the projector for the lamp to
cool sufficiently.

• Do not allow any metallic or inflammable
objects into the lamp replacement slot after
removing the lamp, otherwise it may cause
electrical shock or fire. Do not put your
hands into the slot.

• If the lamp breaks, contact qualified

Sony personnel. Do not replace the lamp
yourself.

• When removing the lamp, be sure to pull it
out straight, by holding it by the specified
part. If you touch a part of the lamp other
than the specified part, you may be burned or
injured. If you pull out the lamp while the
projector is tilted, the pieces may scatter if
the lamp breaks any may cause injury.

For details on a new air filter, consult with qualified Sony personnel.

Caution

If you neglect to clean the air filter, dust may accumulate, clogging it. As a result, the
temperature may rise inside the unit, leading to a possible malfunction or fire.

Projection Distance and Lens Shift Range

The projection distance refers to the distance between the front of the lens and the projected
surface.

Projection distance L

Projected image

Front of the lens

The lens shift range represents the distance in percent (%) by which the lens can be shifted from
the center of the projected image. The lens shift range is regarded as 0% when the point (A) in
the illustration (point where a line drawn from the center of the lens and the projected image
cross at right angles) is aligned with the center of the projected image and full width or full
height of the projected image is regarded as 100%.

About lens position

The projection distance and lens shift range are measured with the lens position adjusted to the
center. To adjust the lens position to the center, follow the procedures below:

1 Rotate the left lens shift dial left or right

then align the screws with the v V marks
in four places, as illustrated, for adjusting
the lens horizontally.

2 Rotate the right lens shift dial clockwise

until the lens is fixed, to adjust the lens
vertically.

Note

Before adjusting the lens position to the center
and checking whether the lens position is
centered, turn off the power to prevent
projected light from entering the eyes.
