Sony is proud to introduce the new VPL-VW11HT LCD Video Projector – bringing beautiful
large-screen images to life. The successor to the popular VPL-VW10HT, this state-of-the-art
projector takes your home theater experience to a new level. It now offers improved contrast and
enriched image reproduction by improving its major components including 16:9 wide XGA (1366 x
768 pixels) LCD panels, optical unit, lamp and electrical circuit.
In addition, advanced Sony signal processing technologies such as Digital Reality CreationTM - Multi Function
(DRC-MFTM), 3D gamma, 3D/3-line Y/C separation/digital noise reduction and through mode, help to provide a
truly rewarding visual experience.
As indicated by the “HT” in its model name, the VPL-VW11HT is designed specifically for home theater use
and offers many features to increase your entertainment possibilities. Video memory, digital keystone
correction, cinema black mode, short throwing distance, low fan noise, and a handsome white cabinet – just
some of the innovations that make Sony VPL-VW11HT LCD Video Projector the perfect addition to your
home theater system.

The VPL-VW11HT utilizes three wide XGA (1366 x 768 pixels)
resolution LCD panels and a 200 W UHP lamp, to provide a high
brightness output of 1000 ANSI lumens (in 16:9 mode).
It provides excellent contrast for crisp images, by innovating all the
key components that make up an LCD projector - LCD panels,

optical unit, lamp and electrical circuit – to prevent light leakage
and to make full use of the LCD’s dynamic range. Now the
VPL-VW11HT offers remarkable image reproduction, with intense,
deep blacks and rich color gradation.

Specially designed for the home theater environment, the
VPL-VW11HT offers an outstanding range of features. An extended
air duct and innovative cooling structure reduce fan noise to
barely audible levels, ensuring that the only thing you’ll hear is
the sound from your audio system. The new air filter dramatically
reduces the dust entering the unit. The digital keystone
correction function* provides installation flexibility by correcting
distortion that can arise from extreme projection angles. And
like all other Sony home theater projectors, the VPL-VW11HT
features a stylish white colored cabinet that makes it the perfect
complement for any interior.
*This function is available for “full”, “normal”, and “zoom” modes.
Perfect for your
home theater system
For extra versatility, the VPL-VW11HT allows you to set lamp drive
wattage to “normal” (1000 ANSI lumens) or “cinema black” mode
(approx. 750 ANSI lumens). The “cinema black” mode provides an
elevated black level for viewing film sources. For optimum results,
use both modes according to ambient light conditions.
Cinema black mode
The video memory function of the VPL-VW11HT memorizes six
sets of control parameters (Picture Control and Input Setting) to
match various input sources.
Video memory
In the “through” mode, video signals are not affected by scan
conversion and this enables theVPL-VW11HT to reproduce a
high-density, one-to-one mapped picture. The “full through” mode is
suitable for squeezed 16:9 sources, while the “normal through” mode
is ideal for 4:3 sources.
For crisp and vivid image reproduction, the VPL-VW11HT
incorporates a series of high-performance Sony signal processing
technologies such as Digital Reality Creation - Multi Function
(DRC-MF), 3D gamma correction and 3D*/3-line Y/C separation/
digital noise reduction circuit. The newly developed DRC-MF
incorporates the CINE MOTION (2-3 pull down) function that
helps reproduce natural and detailed pictures from film-originated
sources. This, combined with the original DRC-MF effects, provides
high-defining progressive signals, bringing out the true beauty and
fascination of cinema.
*This function is only applicable to NTSC signals.

The VPL-VW11HT accepts a variety of input signals including
video, S video and DTV (480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i). It can also
handle RGB (fH: 15 to 80 Hz, fV: 50 to 85 Hz) and 16:9 aspect
RGB signals*, offering excellent versatility.
*Only applicable to: FH 45.0 kHz, fV 56.0 Hz, sync N/N, Dot Clock 79.899 MHz.

Projector control keys and the supplied
remote control unit provide easy control
of the VPL-VW11HT. The keys can be lit
up enabling smooth control even in
low-light conditions.
