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 personnel before operating it further.

•Unplug the unit from the wall outlet or set the MAIN POWER switch to OFF 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 — the air coming out is hot.

On installation

On illumination

•When the projector is mounted on the ceiling, the Sony PSS-800 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 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.

•To avoid moisture condensation, do not install the unit in a location where the temperature may rise rapidly.

•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.

/8 inches) between the wall and the projector. Be aware that

On preventing internal heat build-up

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

•Do not press the MAIN POWER switch while the fan is still running.

Caution

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

Overview

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 the 400 W, metal halide lamp and newly developed optical system allow high brightness (light output 800 of ANSI lumen) and excellent uniformity on the picture.

•High resolution

By using three 1.3-inch VGA 640 × 480 pixels for RGB input and 500 horizontal TV lines for composite video input.

•Superior color reproduction

The superior characteristics of the metal halide lamp and the optical design of the projector allow superior color reproduction.

Accepts various input signals

Adopting the scan converter allows this projector to detect various kinds of inputs automatically and to project suitable picutres, such as the video, component, VGA signal, or horizontal frequencies of 15 to 65 kHz and vertical frequencies of 38 to120 Hz-RGB signal.

System expandability and versatility

The projector has the RS-422A interface connectors for communication. By combining the optional IFB series interface boards and signal interface switcher, VPL-V800Q/QM projection system can be greatly expanded. This projector also has an index function for using multiple projectors in one system.

panels, this projector offers resolution of

Easy setup

•Easy setup with external equipment

This projector automatically recognizes the input signal and selects an appropriate display mode from preset data held in the memory. You can get an optimum picture by simply connecting an equipment.

•Flexible setup

The picture shift function allows you to install the projector in a wide range of positions, without the worry of 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.

•Twin-stack compatible

The brightness of the image can be doubled by stacking two projectors.

CLAMP is used as a standard for setting the black level of a picture correctly. The standard position of the clamp depends on the kind of sync signal being used. Normally, the projector CPU judges the signal and sets the position automatically. However, the CPU can misjudge the signal because of noise. If the luminance of the picture seems to be incorrect (too dark, the black color is too light, or the luminance is unstable) the clamp position may need to be changed.

AUTO: Automatic setting mode. Normally set to this

position.

SonG: Set to this position if the black seems too light

or greenish.

H/C: Set to this position if the picture is too dark or

luminance is unstable.

RESET: RESET

EXIT: MENU

These vertical bands may occur when an RGB signal which horizontal resolution is other than 640 dots 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.

About the memory function

There are 37 kinds of input signal data preset in the projector (preset memory). Also, there are other 20 kinds of user memory. Since the projector automatically distinguishes the input singal, if it is registered in preset memory, the memory function recalls the data in the preset memory and presents the most suitable picture to you. The recalled data also can be adjusted in the INPUT SETTING menu. This setting value will be automatically registered in the user memory. The user memory will be overwritten from the least usable one when it becomes over 20 kinds as maximum.
