About the Control for
HDMI
What is the Control for HDMI?
Control for HDMI is an HDMI standard
mutual control function which uses the
HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics
Control) specification. By connecting a
variety of Control for HDMI compatible
equipment such as a hard disk Blu-ray Disc
player, a DVD player/recorder, an AV
amplifier, etc. to a Sony Control for HDMI
compatible TV or a projector with an HDMI
cable, the equipment connected will
synchronize with the TV or the projector
when either is operated.
Using the Control for HDMI
function
• Connect and assign the settings of each
equipment appropriately.
• Do not turn off the main power of the
equipment.
• Set the input setting of the projector to the
HDMI input which the equipment is
connected.
• Check if the picture from the equipment
appears appropriately on the projector.
Connecting a Control for HDMI
compatible equipment
Use an HDMI cable to connect the projector
and the Control for HDMI compatible
equipment. Use a cable that has acquired the
HDMI logo.
HDMI compatible equipment connected to
the projector, refer to its operating
instructions. When equipment that is
compatible with the “Control for HDMI Easy Setting” is connected to the HDMI
input of the projector, if you turn the Control
for HDMI function setting of the projector
on, the Control for HDMI function setting of
the connected equipment will also turn on.
What you can do with the
Control for HDMI
• By turning on or playing back the
connected equipment, the projector will
turn on and the input setting will switch to
the terminal of the connected equipment
automatically.
• By turning the power of the projector off,
the power of the connected equipment will
also turn off automatically.
• By changing the language setting of the
projector, the language setting of the
connected equipment will also change to
the same language automatically.
Notes
• The available functions of the Control for
HDMI differ depending on each equipment.
Refer to the operating instruction of each
equipment.
• Some synchronization may be available with
equipment of other brands with similar
functions, but it is not guaranteed.
Others
Setting the Control for HDMI
Be sure to assign the appropriate settings for
both the projector and the Control for HDMI
compatible equipment connected to the
projector. For settings of the projector, see

projection systems, established by the
industry standards body DCI (Digital
Cinema Initiatives), an affiliation of six
major Hollywood studios.
About the x.v.Color
• “x.v.Color” is a promotion name given to
the products that have the capability to
realize a wide color space based on the
xvYCC specifications and is a trademark
of Sony Corporation.
• xvYCC is an international standard of the
technical specifications of the extendedgamut color space for video signals. The
color gamut of xvYCC is wider than the

• Note that if the unit is used for profit or for
public viewing, displaying 2D video
images as 3D video images by converting
to the simulated 3D may constitute an
infringement of the rights of authors or
producers, which are legally protected.
About HDCP
HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) is the copyright protection
technology which enciphers the digital
signal transmitted and received via a HDMI
terminal or a DisplayPort terminal, and
prevents unauthorized copying.
As the HDMI input and DisplayPort input of
this unit are compliant with HDCP, a digital
image which is protected by HDCP
technology can be projected.
About the simulated
3D feature
• Use the simulated 3D function taking into
account that the picture will provide a
different look from the original images,
because this function converts the video
images.

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%.
