For Powerful Presentations
…the VPL-PX40
The Key to Smart Presentations
…the Sony VPL-PX40 Projector
Leave a lasting impression. With its brightness of
3500 ANSI lumens* and a high contrast level, the
VPL-PX40 is the easy and effective way to view
presentations in any environment or lighting
condition. Its 3D Gamma Correction and 3D Digital
Comb Filter features, plus an RGB Enhancer for
RGB and DDE for video, combine to make pictures
always look their best.
*ANSI lumens is a measurement unit defined by the American
National Standards Institute IT7.228. Since there is no uniform
method of measuring brightness, specifications may vary
among manufacturers.
High Brightness and Contrast
With a new optical system incorporating Sony LCD
panels and a 265 W UHP lamp,the VPL-PX40 offers
an outstanding brightness of 3500 ANSI lumens.
High-quality images can be projected even in high
ambient-light conditions, producing an extremely
highcontrast ratio.
High Resolution
By utilizing three 0.99-inch XGA
LCD panels, the VPL-PX40 provides
a clean and detailed reproduction
of all images.
Digital Signal Processing
The VPL-PX40 achieves high picture quality with
Sony original Digital Signal Processing technology.
The VPL-PX40 provides digital signal processing by
adopting a newly developed driver for the LCD
panel that directly accepts digital signals; thus the
projector is capable of projecting images with high
accuracy.
Smart APA
Dot phase and image size or shift can be
automatically adjusted to their optimal settings
according to input signals.
3D Gamma Correction
The 3D Digital Gamma Correction circuit
simultaneously provides superb grayscale
reproduction and helps to improve overall picture
uniformity.
Dynamic Detail Enhancer (DDE)
This unique Sony technology generates high
quality images through the Interlace/Progressive
conversion processor. Signals of film-originated
sources converted through 2-3 and 2-2 pull down
process are detected, resulting in extremely
accurate image reproduction.
RGB Enhancer
For a crisper RGB image, the VPL-PX40 is equipped
with an RGB Enhancer function. A simple
adjustment provides heightened image quality to
match any image source – whether text, photos, or
graphics.
The Benefits of Networking
The VPL-PX40 can even be controlled via a TCP/IP-based
network connection, which also enables users to
receive maintenance information. This functionality is
ideal for offices and schools equipped with a Local Area
Network (LAN).
Back-to-Front Tilt
The VPL-PX40 can be tilted upwards or
downwards by 90 degrees. This flexibility
greatly expands the projector’s
application possibilities.
Digital Keystone Adjustment
Keystone distortion, caused when the projection angle is
not properly calibrated, can be easily corrected within a
wide adjustment range of +/- 20 degrees. The necessary
adjustments can be easily made via the On-Screen Display.
On-Screen Display (OSD)
The OSD, which provides
easy projector control, is
available in a choice of nine
languages: English, French,
Spanish, German, Italian,
Japanese, Chinese,
Portuguese, or Korean.
Direct Power On and Off
With this function, standby mode can be skipped over
to activate the VPL-PX40 immediately. And thanks to a
cooling fan with drive circuitry that works even after the
power has been cut, the projector can be turned on or
off using a circuit-breaker switch on a switchboard.
Password-Authentication System
This function restricts unauthorized use of the projector.
Once a password has been set, the VPL-PX40 cannot be
used without it.
Optional Lenses
Two optional lenses are available, giving users the
ability to customize the VPL-PX40 to perfectly suit any
projection environment.
Throwing Distance
VPLL-FM22
❚Fixed short-focus lens
❚Throw ratio*: 0.9:1
*Throw ratio is the distance between the center of the projector lens and
the screen, divided by the screen width.
Multiple Inputs
Using a built-in high-performance scan converter,
the VPL-PX40 accepts a wide range of input signals:
composite video, S-Video, Y/R-Y/B-Y, Y/PB/PR and
RGB video, as well as analog and digital computer
signals. A variety of DTV signals
(480/60i,575/50i,540/60p,480/60p,575/50p,720/60p,
720/50p, 1080/60i, and 1080/50i) are also fully
supported, extending its potential even further.
DVI interface
The VPL-PX40 accepts digital signals directly thanks
to its DVI interface.
4-times Digital Zoom
To help convey a clear message, the 4-times Digital
Zoom function allows users to zoom in on any part
of the projected image during a presentation.
Stereo Sound
Users can improve the impact and effectiveness of
presentations with stereo audio output from the
built-in stereo-speaker system.
Useful Remote-Control Unit
The supplied remote-control unit is
equipped with keys to control
various projector functions, for
smooth, persuasive presentations
every time. It has an integrated
mouse function for point-and-click
control of a USB-connected
computer, and it can work as a laser
pointer to direct the audience’s
attention and guide them through
the presentation.
Complete the experience. An integrated stereo-
speaker system delivers audio to support the
presentation visuals for even greater impact.
A laser-pointer, mouse function and 4-times Digital
Zoom – all included on the supplied remote-
control unit – help to make presentations run
smoothly and keep the audience enthralled. The
projector itself – the main presentation tool – goes
virtually unnoticed, because of near-silent
operation.
The broad installation capabilities of the VPL-PX40
enable the projector to be mounted on the ceiling
or floor, or installed in a rear-projection system.
Installation flexibility is further enhanced by the
choice of two optional lenses. With the Direct
Power-On function, the projector can be turned on
or off quickly using a circuit-breaker switch on a
switchboard, and, for added security, the VPL-
PX40 incorporates a password-authentication
system.

For Powerful Presentations
…the VPL-PX40
The Key to Smart Presentations
…the Sony VPL-PX40 Projector
Leave a lasting impression. With its brightness of
3500 ANSI lumens* and a high contrast level, the
VPL-PX40 is the easy and effective way to view
presentations in any environment or lighting
condition. Its 3D Gamma Correction and 3D Digital
Comb Filter features, plus an RGB Enhancer for
RGB and DDE for video, combine to make pictures
always look their best.
*ANSI lumens is a measurement unit defined by the American
National Standards Institute IT7.228. Since there is no uniform
method of measuring brightness, specifications may vary
among manufacturers.
High Brightness and Contrast
With a new optical system incorporating Sony LCD
panels and a 265 W UHP lamp,the VPL-PX40 offers
an outstanding brightness of 3500 ANSI lumens.
High-quality images can be projected even in high
ambient-light conditions, producing an extremely
highcontrast ratio.
High Resolution
By utilizing three 0.99-inch XGA
LCD panels, the VPL-PX40 provides
a clean and detailed reproduction
of all images.
Digital Signal Processing
The VPL-PX40 achieves high picture quality with
Sony original Digital Signal Processing technology.
The VPL-PX40 provides digital signal processing by
adopting a newly developed driver for the LCD
panel that directly accepts digital signals; thus the
projector is capable of projecting images with high
accuracy.
Smart APA
Dot phase and image size or shift can be
automatically adjusted to their optimal settings
according to input signals.
3D Gamma Correction
The 3D Digital Gamma Correction circuit
simultaneously provides superb grayscale
reproduction and helps to improve overall picture
uniformity.
Dynamic Detail Enhancer (DDE)
This unique Sony technology generates high
quality images through the Interlace/Progressive
conversion processor. Signals of film-originated
sources converted through 2-3 and 2-2 pull down
process are detected, resulting in extremely
accurate image reproduction.
RGB Enhancer
For a crisper RGB image, the VPL-PX40 is equipped
with an RGB Enhancer function. A simple
adjustment provides heightened image quality to
match any image source – whether text, photos, or
graphics.
The Benefits of Networking
The VPL-PX40 can even be controlled via a TCP/IP-based
network connection, which also enables users to
receive maintenance information. This functionality is
ideal for offices and schools equipped with a Local Area
Network (LAN).
Back-to-Front Tilt
The VPL-PX40 can be tilted upwards or
downwards by 90 degrees. This flexibility
greatly expands the projector’s
application possibilities.
Digital Keystone Adjustment
Keystone distortion, caused when the projection angle is
not properly calibrated, can be easily corrected within a
wide adjustment range of +/- 20 degrees. The necessary
adjustments can be easily made via the On-Screen Display.
On-Screen Display (OSD)
The OSD, which provides
easy projector control, is
available in a choice of nine
languages: English, French,
Spanish, German, Italian,
Japanese, Chinese,
Portuguese, or Korean.
Direct Power On and Off
With this function, standby mode can be skipped over
to activate the VPL-PX40 immediately. And thanks to a
cooling fan with drive circuitry that works even after the
power has been cut, the projector can be turned on or
off using a circuit-breaker switch on a switchboard.
Password-Authentication System
This function restricts unauthorized use of the projector.
Once a password has been set, the VPL-PX40 cannot be
used without it.
Optional Lenses
Two optional lenses are available, giving users the
ability to customize the VPL-PX40 to perfectly suit any
projection environment.
Throwing Distance
VPLL-FM22
❚Fixed short-focus lens
❚Throw ratio*: 0.9:1
*Throw ratio is the distance between the center of the projector lens and
the screen, divided by the screen width.
Multiple Inputs
Using a built-in high-performance scan converter,
the VPL-PX40 accepts a wide range of input signals:
composite video, S-Video, Y/R-Y/B-Y, Y/PB/PR and
RGB video, as well as analog and digital computer
signals. A variety of DTV signals
(480/60i,575/50i,540/60p,480/60p,575/50p,720/60p,
720/50p, 1080/60i, and 1080/50i) are also fully
supported, extending its potential even further.
DVI interface
The VPL-PX40 accepts digital signals directly thanks
to its DVI interface.
4-times Digital Zoom
To help convey a clear message, the 4-times Digital
Zoom function allows users to zoom in on any part
of the projected image during a presentation.
Stereo Sound
Users can improve the impact and effectiveness of
presentations with stereo audio output from the
built-in stereo-speaker system.
Useful Remote-Control Unit
The supplied remote-control unit is
equipped with keys to control
various projector functions, for
smooth, persuasive presentations
every time. It has an integrated
mouse function for point-and-click
control of a USB-connected
computer, and it can work as a laser
pointer to direct the audience’s
attention and guide them through
the presentation.
Complete the experience. An integrated stereo-
speaker system delivers audio to support the
presentation visuals for even greater impact.
A laser-pointer, mouse function and 4-times Digital
Zoom – all included on the supplied remote-
control unit – help to make presentations run
smoothly and keep the audience enthralled. The
projector itself – the main presentation tool – goes
virtually unnoticed, because of near-silent
operation.
The broad installation capabilities of the VPL-PX40
enable the projector to be mounted on the ceiling
or floor, or installed in a rear-projection system.
Installation flexibility is further enhanced by the
choice of two optional lenses. With the Direct
Power-On function, the projector can be turned on
or off quickly using a circuit-breaker switch on a
switchboard, and, for added security, the VPL-
PX40 incorporates a password-authentication
system.

When the signal other than ones in "Preset Signals" are input,
the picture may not display correctly. When the aspect ratio of
an input signal is other than 4:3, a part of the screen is
displayed in black. The UXGA signal can be projected only
when user set the frequency of a computer 60Hz. The digital
input complies with the signals marked with asterisks(*) on the
table. When the digital signal output from a computer is a
signal other than the signals marked with asterisks(*) among
the memory numbers 6 to 39, it is automatically output
according to the specifications of the projector. The memory
numbers 22 and 34 are the interlace signals.
