Sony VPL-BW7 User manual

This HD Ready home cinema projector has been designed for use in brightly
lit environments, so you don’t need to dim the lights for a home cinema
experience. The VPL- BW7 incorporates BrightEra™ technology invented by Sony
which minimises degradation of colours over time, achieves higher brightness
and sharper images in even well-lit rooms - and delivers exceptional reliability
and longevity.
This projector is perfect for families wanting to watch a movie together, or other
leisure pursuits such as gaming and viewing sport on a big screen. It features
native WXGA (1280x800) resolution, making it ideal for true 16:9 widescreen
display of film and video in stunning colour and exceptional detail, direct from
a Blu-ray player, set-top box, games console or PC.
