electronic correction, the image may be
deteriorated.

• Depending on the position adjusted with the

lens shift feature, the aspect ratio of the
image may change from the original or
projected image may be distorted with
Keystone adjustment.

• If you perform keystone adjustment and use

mouse mode, the position of the Interactive
Pen Device and the computer cursor may not
match. In this case, perform the calibration
again. (VPL-SW635C only)

Notes

*1: For VPL-SW635C, this setting is not available for the drawing data drawn with the Interactive

Pen Device of PC Free Interactive function and whiteboard mode. This works only for the

background image from the external device (page 33).
*2: • Note that if the projector is used for profit or for public viewing, modifying the original picture

by switching to the aspect mode may constitute an infringement of the rights of authors or
producers, which are legally protected.

• Depending on the input signal, setting items for aspect ratio or some other setting items cannot
be set in some cases, or changing the aspect ratio setting may have no effect.

• A part of the image may be displayed in black, depending on the setting item.

*3: Available when a computer signal is input from the RGB input terminal (INPUT A/INPUT B).
*4: If the projected image includes large amount of black portion around it, the APA function will

not work properly and a part of the image may not be displayed on the screen and also optimum
image cannot be obtained, depending on the type of input signal. In this case, adjust the “Phase,”
“Pitch,” and “Shift” items manually.

*5: Available when a computer or a video signal is input from the RGB/YP

BPR input terminal

(INPUT A).

*6: When “APA” (page 23) or “Smart APA” (page 26) is performed, the adjusted value for “Pitch”

will return to its factory default. If you want to continue using the adjusted value, set “Smart

Using Interactive Presentation Utility 2 (VPL-SW635C/SW630C/SW620C only)

In the desktop mode, by using the Interactive Pen Device (main: IFU-PN250A, sub: IFU­PN250B) and the application Interactive Presentation Utility 2, this projector can be used more
effectively for a wide range of purposes.

Using the mouse function of the Interactive Pen Device (main only), you can control a
computer and applications on the projected screen just like a mouse. Also when employing the
drawing function of a different application, you can use the Interactive Pen Device to directly
draw onto the projected file, and save the drawings.

Desktop mode

How to operate the mouse function of the Interactive Pen Device (main only)

• Left-click: tap the screen with the tip of the Interactive Pen Device.

• Double-click: tap the screen twice with the tip of the Interactive Pen Device.

• Drag and drop: move the Interactive Pen Device while touching the screen.

Whiteboard mode

By starting Interactive Presentation Utility 2, you can use the Interactive Pen Device to draw
lines and shapes on the projected screen. In the whiteboard mode, the projected screen can be
used as an electronic whiteboard and you can select the background image from your photo
library or the template.

draw Erase Save

By using both the main and sub Interactive Pen Device, two people can draw on the projected
screen simultaneously. The main device can use all the functions, whereas the sub device can
use only the drawing function.

Use of these functions requires installation of Interactive Presentation Utility 2. For Interactive
Presentation Utility 2 software update, visit Sony’s web site.

Using Interactive Presentation Utility 2 (VPL-SW635C/SW630C/SW620C only)

Notes

• The interactive function works by a detector in the projector, which picks up infrared rays emitted
from the tip of the Interactive Pen Device. Observe the precautions noted below.

- Avoid placing the projector where the Interactive Pen detector is directly exposed to fluorescent

light or other strong light.

- Do not cover the pen tip of the Interactive Pen Device or the Interactive Pen detector.

- Infrared data communication or noise from another device may cause improper operation.

• Observe the precautions noted below during the calibration.

- Avoid placing obstacles between the interactive detector and the screen.

- Do not move the projector and the screen.

• If Calibration Auto does not calibrate properly, try the following methods.

- Shield the screen from strong, direct outside light.

- Reduce the ambient light while Calibration Auto is performed.

- If Calibration (Auto) still does not calibrate properly after reducing the lighting as suggested

above, click Calibration (Manual(Main)) or Calibration (Manual(Sub)), then calibrate manually.

- If you use a screen which is not white, Calibration Auto may be inaccurate.

• The maximum screen size at which the Interactive function works is 100 inches.

• Images may not be projected properly depending on the operating environment or the application.
Use Input-A, Input-B, or Input-C to project the images properly.

Connecting a Computer with a USB Cable

Make sure your computer and the projector are connected with a computer cable. For details

Troubleshooting

73

Replacing the Lamp

Replace the lamp with a new one if a message displayed on the projected image (page 69).
Use an LMP-E220 projector lamp (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.

Notes

• 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 the designated
location. If you touch a part of the lamp other
than the designated location, 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.

1 Turn off the projector, and disconnect

the AC power cord from a wall outlet.

2 When the lamp has cooled

sufficiently, open the lamp cover by
loosening 1 screw.

3 Loosen the three screws on the lamp

(1) then pull out the lamp by its grab
(2).

74

Replacing the Lamp

Grab

4 Insert the new lamp all the way in until

it is securely in place (1). Tighten the
three screws (2).

5 Close the lamp cover and tighten the

1 screw.

6 Connect the AC power cord to a wall

outlet and turn on the projector.

7 Reset the lamp timer for notification of

the next replacement time.
Select “Lamp Timer Reset” on the

Function menu then press the ENTER
key. When a message appears, select
“Yes” to reset the lamp timer (page 26).

Caution

Disposal of the used lamp

For the customers in the USA

Lamp in this product contains mercury.
Disposal of these materials may be
regulated due to environmental
considerations. For disposal or
recycling information, please contact
your local authorities or the
Telecommunications Industry
Association (www.eiae.org).

Others

Note

The power will not turn on if the lamp is
not secured properly.

Replacing the Lamp

75

Cleaning the Air Filter

When a message appears on the projected image indicating time for a filter cleaning, clean the
air filter (pages 68, 69).
If the dust cannot be removed from the air filter even after cleaning, replace the air filter with
a new one. For details on a new air filter, consult with qualified Sony personnel.

Caution

If you continue to use the projector even after the message is displayed, dust may accumulate,
clogging it. As a result, the temperature may rise inside the unit, leading to a possible
malfunction or fire.

1 Turn off the projector, and disconnect

the AC power cord from the AC outlet.

2 Open the side cover and remove the air

filter holder.

Press A and open the side cover in the
direction of the arrow shown on the
illustration below, and remove the air
filter holder.

Projection Distance and Lens Shift Range

The projection distance is the distance between the center of the projection window and the
surface of the projected image. The following describes the projection distance and height from
the center of the projection window to edge of screen by each projected screen size. Height H
is the height from the bottom of the projected image (top for wall mount) to A (determined by
drawing a perpendicular line from the center of the projection window to projected image
surface).
