About remote commander operation
• Direct the remote commander toward the remote control
receiver.
• The shorter the distance between the remote
commander and the projector is, the wider the angle
within which the remote commander can control the
projector becomes.
• Make sure that nothing obstructs the infrared beam
between the remote commander and the remote control
receiver on the projector.
Note

Connecting the Projector
• Make sure all the equipment is powered off when connecting the projector.
• Use the proper cables for each connection.
• Insert the cable plugs firmly. Loose connections may reduce performance of picture signals or cause a malfunction. When
pulling out a cable, be sure to grip it by the plug, not the cable itself.
• For more information, refer also to the instruction manuals of the equipment you are connecting.
• Use a no-resistance audio cable.
Connection with a computer is explained for each input signal.
INPUT A
For connecting a computer with an RGB output terminal.
In screen setting of your computer, it is recommended that you set the resolution of an external monitor
to 1,920 × 1,200 pixels.
INPUT B/INPUT C
For connecting a computer with an HDMI output terminal.
• Use HDMI-compatible equipment which has the HDMI Logo.
• Use a high speed HDMI cable(s) on which the cable type logo is specified. (Sony products are recommended.)

For connecting the computer, video equipment, and network equipment via the HDBaseT transmitter.
Notes for connecting this unit to the HDBaseT transmitter
• Ask a professional or Sony dealer to perform wiring. If wiring is not correct, the transmission characteristics of the cable
will not be achieved, and image or sound may break up or you may experience unstable performance.
• Connect the cable directly to the HDBaseT transmitter without going through a hub or router.
• Use cables that meet the following conditions.
- CAT5e or higher
-Shielded type (covering connectors)
- Straight wire connection
- Single wire
• When installing the cables, use a cable tester, cable analyzer, or similar device to check if the cables meet the CAT5e or
higher requirement. If there is a transit connector between this unit and the HDBaseT transmitter, include it when
measuring.
• To reduce the affect of noise, install and use the cable in a manner where it is not rolled up and it is as straight as possible.
• Install the cable away from the other cables (especially the power cable).
• When installing multiple cables, do not bind them and keep the running parallel distance as short as possible.
• The transmittable distance of the cable is 100 m (approx. 328 feet) maximum. If it exceeds 100 m (approx. 328 feet), it may
cause the image or the sound to break up, or cause a multifunction in LAN communication. Do not use the HDBaseT
transmitter beyond the transmittable distance.
• Inquire about operation or function problems caused by other manufacturer's devices with the relevant manufacturer.

Connect the projector directly to the HDBaseT transmitter without going through a hub or router.
• Set “Extron XTP” in the Connection/Power menu to “On” when connecting to XTP Systems manufactured by Extron
Electronics (page 25).
To attach the HDMI cable
Fix the cable to the security bar at the bottom of the projector using a commercially-available cable tie, as
in the illustration.

Projecting an Image
The size of a projected image depends on the distance between the projector and screen. Install the
projector so that the projected image fits the screen size. For details on projection distances and
projected image sizes, see “Projection Distance and Lens Shift Range” (page 55).
1Plug the AC power cord into the wall outlet.
2Connect all equipment to the projector (page 8).
3Press the /key to turn on the unit.
4Turn on the connected equipment.
5Select the input source.
Press the INPUT key on the projector to display the menu
for switching input signal on the screen. Press the INPUT
key repeatedly, or press the /key to select an image
to be projected.
6When projecting a computer image, switch your
computer’s output to external display.
The method to switch the output varies depending
on the type of computer.
(Example)
To play video and audio using USB Connection, see
“Playing Video and Audio using USB Connection”
(page 43). To use Presentation Function via Network,
see “Presentation Function via Network” (page 38).

If you keep turning the lens shift dials, the lens shift
positions are restored to the original positions. Keep
turning to find the best positions. For details on the
adjustment range, see the “Lens shift range” (page 56).
• While adjusting the lens shift, be careful not to look into
the lens.
• When turning the H lens shift dial, the lens shift may
move up or down. (When turning the V shift dial, the lens
shift may move right or left.) In that case, adjust the lens
shift with each dial again.

Adjusting the tilt of the projector with the front
feet (adjustable)
By changing the slope of the projector with front
feet (adjustable), you can adjust the position of
the projected image.
How to alter the angle
When the projector is installed on an uneven
surface, you can adjust using the front feet
(adjustable).
• Be careful not to let the projector down on your fingers.
• Do not push hard on the top of the projector with the
front feet (adjustable) extended. It may cause
malfunction.
Changing the aspect ratio of the projected image
Press the ASPECT key on the remote commander
to change the aspect ratio of the projected image.
You can also change the setting in Aspect of the
Screen menu (page 21, 22).
Correcting trapezoidal distortion of the projected
image (Keystone feature)
If the image becomes trapezoidal, set the
keystone manually.
When the projected image is a trapezoid, tapering to the
top or bottom
1Press the KEYSTONE key on the remote commander
once or select “V Keystone” in the Installation menu.
2Use the ///keys to set the value. The higher the
setting, the narrower the top of the projected image.
The lower the setting, the narrower the bottom.
Press the RESET key to restore the Projected image
before adjustment.
When the projected image is a trapezoid, tapering to the
right or left
1Press the KEYSTONE key on the remote commander
twice or select “H Keystone” in the Installation menu.
2Use the ///keys to set the value. The higher the
setting, the narrower the right part of the projected
image. The lower the setting, the narrower the left
part.
Press the RESET key to restore the projected image
before adjustment.
• Since the Keystone adjustment is an 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 adjusting upwards or downwards (V keystone
adjustment) and to the right or left (H keystone
adjustment) at the same time, the values of the
adjustment menu may not reach the maximum value.
• If you press the KEYSTONE key on the remote control to
