VPL-SX536
Projector
The VPL-SX536 XGA projector offers a 0.34 - 0.36:1 throw ratio that produces a
2.03M (80”) diagonal screen size image from only 0.56 - 0.58 metres (approx. 1.84
- 1.9 feet) away from the screen. This projector has been designed to be easy to
operate and to deliver a low total cost of ownership. It is an ideal choice for ultra
close projection applications in the corporate and educational markets.
Furthermore, in common with all Sony projectors, the VPL-SX536 features the Sony
BrightEra 3LCD inorganic panel technology that delivers higher picture quality,
substantially brighter images, higher efficiency, better contrast, consistent colour stability
and longer durability and usability.
The VPL-SX536 also features 3 different brightness modes to suit each individual user’s
needs. In the high brightness mode, the projector has a brightness of 3000 lumens. The
low brightness mode generates lower operating costs by reducing power consumption
and extending the lamp lifetime to approximately 6000 hours. This projector also has a
contrast ratio of 2500:1, video inputs and RJ45 or RS232C connectors for control.
Maximum 3000 lumens brightness with
High, Standard and Low modes
The VPL-SX536 features three brightness
modes for different uses – High for naturally
white presentations in bright rooms (3000
Lumens), Standard for everyday use (2400
Lumens) and Low for video in darkened
rooms (2000 Lumens).
Lens Shift Function
The projector is equipped with horizontal
and vertical lens shift functions for greater
installation flexibility. Using this function, the
position of the projected image can be
moved vertically +/- 4% and horizontally
+/-3%.
ECO Lamp Dimming
This projector (if this function is
selected) can reduce power
consumption and brightness
by 10 -15%. After a user pre-set
time, the brightness and power
consumption will reduce to 30%
power usage, with instant 100%
brightness returning as soon as a
new signal input is detected.
ECO Picture Mute -
(Instant Off/Instant On)
The new ECO Picture Mute
feature reduces power
consumption down to 30%,
saving cost and lamp hours.
This feature can be used in the
classroom as instant off/instant
on in-between class changes.
There is no need to power
completely off and turn back on,
which is time consuming.
6000 Hours Lamp Life
A new driving scheme reduces
gap expansion which minimises
brightness gradation. A new
cooling system allows uniformity
in the temperature of the glass
bulb which prevents the glass
from clouding.

Other features
0.34 - 0.36:1 Throw Ratio
The VPL-SX536 offers a 0.34 - 0.36:1
throw ratio that produces a 2.03M
(80”) diagonal screen size image
from only 0.56 - 0.58 metres (approx.
1.84 - 1.9 feet) away from the
screen.
ECO Mode Key
Users can easily select power-saving
ECO Modes. The most energy-
efficient mode is accessible though
a single button-push, with further
adjustments available through an
easily understood menu system.
Filter replaced at the same time as
Lamp
The filter only needs to be changed
when a new lamp is fitted,
potentially halving disruption due to
maintenance.
Vertical Keystone Adjustment
The projector can correct keystone
distortion by +/- 5% for perfect
installation adjustment to the smart
board or screen. (Note that since
this is an electronic correction, it will
reduce the picture quality slightly.)
Digital Zoom
With Digital Zoom, users can enlarge
a selected area of a computer-
sourced image on the screen up to
four times.
Six Picture Modes
The VPL-SX536 has six available
picture modes for correct picture
quality; Dynamic, Standard,
Game, Backboard, Cinema
and Presentation. With six picture
modes and 3 brightness modes
combined, users can select the most
suitable picture/brightness mode
according to the picture source and
environment for the perfect image.
3LCD BrightEra Technology
The Sony 0.63 inch BrightEra
inorganic TFT 3LCD panels deliver
improved panel light resistance,
higher resolution, high brightness and
increased panel reliability.
Smart APA (Auto Pixel Alignment)
When a computer is used as a
picture source, APA automatically
optimises Phase, Pitch and Shift
values. These can also be adjusted
manually.
Auto Input Search
Auto Input Search detects which
input has an incoming signal and
automatically switches to it. This
makes it easier for users to set up
the projector prior to making a
presentation.
Picture Muting
If the picture needs to be turned off,
all it takes is a single button-press
on the remote control. This will mute
audio at the same time. There is also
a separate “mute audio” button for
audio-only muting.
Audio Switcher Facility
To avoid the need for a separate
audio switcher, the projector can
be used to select between two
audio sources, routing them via a
variable audio output to the room
amplification system.
Picture Freeze Function
Picture Freeze is useful during
presentations where users need to
look at other material on their PC’s
screen without the viewing audience
being aware. Freeze the current
image and users can use their PC
independently of the display from the
projector.
Off and Go
At the end of a presentation, users
can turn off the power supply to the
projector immediately, instead of
going through a ‘power down’ cycle.
Direct Power On/Off
With this function, there is no need
to go through ‘Standby’ mode when
powering up the projector. The
projector can be set to activate as
soon as power is supplied.
Built-in Security Measures
The VPL-SX536 has a package
of security measures, including
password protection and physical
anti-theft anchor points.
