5Adjust the color matching setting.
Finely adjust each tone as necessary 
(page 36).
6Set the Edge Blending setting.
When overlaying multiple projections, 
the Edge Blending setting is available.
Select “Multi Screen” in the Installation 
menu, then select “Edge Blending” 
(page 36).
7Enable the Edge Blending function.
In “Blend Settings,” set “Edge 
Blending” to “On” for each blending 
position.
8Set the blending width.
Set the blending width according to the 
overlapping range for the source signal.
9Adjust using “Blend Fitting.”
Finely adjust the overlapped area.
10Adjust using “Zone Black Level Adj.”
Adjust each correction zone by “Zone 
Black Level Adj.” for the most uniform 
black level between each zone. 
During this adjustment, a black image is 
automatically projected.
 Depending on the blending start position or 
the blending width, the menu may overlap 
with the blending area and become invisible. 
If you want to operate the projector while 
viewing the menu, set “Edge Blending” to 
“Off” once and make adjustments. Then, set 
“Edge Blending” to “On.” The procedure shown above is for general 
guidance. Your own installation may vary 
according to the situation.
 When multiple projectors are set up in a line, 
the temperature inside the projectors may 
increase due to exhaust vent proximity, and 
an error indication may result.
In this case, space the projectors farther apart 
and/or install deflection partitioning between 
them.
For more details, consult with qualified Sony 
personnel.
1Press the ?/1 key on the unit or the 
remote commander.
The projector starts shutdown and turns 
off. If you press the ?/1 key within 10 
seconds again, shutdown is cancelled.
Do not turn off the projector soon after the 
lamp lights. It may cause a malfunction of 
the lamp (does not light ,etc.).
2Unplug the AC power cord from the 
wall outlet.
To turn off without displaying 
confirmation message
Press and hold the ?/1 key on the unit for a 
few seconds (page 34).
 If you turn off the unit soon after the lamp is 
turned on, the confirmation message will be 
displayed and may take a longer time for the 
unit to turn off.
 If you turn on the unit soon after the unit is 
turned off, it may take a longer time for the

*1:  Note that if the projector is used for profit or for public viewing, modifying the original picture 
by switching to the aspect mode may constitute an infringement of the rights of authors or 
producers, which are legally protected.
 Depending on the input signal or “Screen Aspect” setting, setting items for aspect ratio or 
some other setting items cannot be set in some cases, or changing the aspect ratio setting may 
have no effect.
 A part of the image may be displayed in black, depending on the setting item. Setting items Description
