Notes for connecting this unit and 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

							14Connecting the Projector
 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 manufacturers devices with the 
relevant manufacturer.
Connecting to the network equipment
 HDBaseT is available only on VPL-EW348.
 If you are using a network, make sure “HDBaseT/LAN terminal” is set to “HDBaseT” (page 31).
 Connect this unit and the HDBaseT transmitter without a hub or router between them.

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” (page 76).
1Plug the AC power cord into the wall 
outlet.
2Connect all equipment to the projector 
(page 9).
3Press the ?/1 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 
V/v 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 project image files stored in a USB 
memory device, see “USB Media 
Viewer” (page 56). To play video and 
audio using USB Connection, see 
“Playing Video and Audio using USB 
Connection” (page 54). To use

adjust the position of the projected image.
How to adjust the angle
1Press and hold the foot adjust buttons.
2Lift up the front of the projector to 
adjust the angle.
3Release the foot adjust buttons.
4Turn the front feet (adjustable) to set 
the angle of the projector precisely.
 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.

Correcting trapezoidal distortion of the projected image (Keystone feature) 
Normally the Keystone feature automatically adjusts the projected image. The Keystone 
feature may not work automatically if the screen is tilted. In this case, set Keystone manually.
1Press the KEYSTONE key on the remote commander or select V Keystone in the Installation 
menu. 
2Use the V/v/B/b keys to set the value. The higher the value, narrower the top of the projected 
image. The lower the value, the narrower the bottom.
Since the Keystone adjustment is an electronic correction, the image may be deteriorated.
Note
Increase the number 
towards plus
Increase the number

							20Projecting an Image
Fitting the projected image to the screen (Digital Shrink adjustment)
If the projected image exceeds the size of the screen, you can shrink and adjust the position of it.
1Select “Rid. digitale” in the Installation menu.
2Set the shrinking rate.
Press the V/v/B/b key to adjust the value. The more the value increases towards the plus side, 
the smaller the projected image becomes.
3Press the ENTER button to display the shift adjustment menu and adjust the display position of 
the projected image.
Press the V/v/B/b key to adjust the display position.
If the shrinking rate is set to “0,” you cannot move the image. If the projector is projecting an image 
with a resolution that is different from the panel display resolution of this projector, it may not be 
possible to move the image.
