							11Connecting the Projector
Preparation
To fix the HDMI cable
Fix the cable to the cable tie holder at the bottom of the projector, using a commercially 
available cable tie, as in the illustration.
Use a cable tie of less than 1.9 mm × 3.8 mm in thickness.
OUTPUT
Projected images can be output to display equipment such as a monitor.
This terminal outputs the image. Output as a computer signal input from the RGB input terminal 
(INPUT A, INPUT B) or a video signal input from the YPBPR input terminal (INPUT A).
 You can connect HDBaseT equipment by attaching the Digital Interface Adaptor BKM-PJ10 
(not supplied).
 When the Digital Interface Adaptor BKM-PJ10 (not supplied) is attached to the main unit, 
image transmission to the main unit, LAN communication, and RS-232C control are enabled 
with the commercially available HDBaseT transmitter. Not compatible with voice 
communication and power connection.

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 53).
1Plug the AC power cord into a wall 
outlet.
2Connect all equipment to the projector 
(page 8).
3Turn on the projector.
Press the ?/1 key on the main unit or the 
? key on the Remote Commander.
4Turn on the connected equipment.
5Select the input source.
Press the INPUT key on the projector to 
display the input select window. Press 
the INPUT key repeatedly or the V/v 
key to select an image to be projected.
The signal icon   appears on the right 
side in the input select window when a 
signal is input.You can select the input source using 
Direct input select keys on the Remote 
Commander 
(page 5).
6Switch your computer to output to 
external display by changing your 
computer’s setting.
How to switch the computer to output to 
the projector varies, depending on the 
type of computer.

Adjusting the tilt of the projector 
with the rear feet (adjustable)
When the projector is installed on an uneven 
surface, you can adjust using the rear feet 
(adjustable). To correct any trapezoidal 
distortion of the projected image, use the 
Keystone correction feature (pages 16, 32).
You can also broaden the adjustment range 
by removing the nuts from the rear 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 rear feet (adjustable) extended. It 
may cause a malfunction.
 Keystone adjustment is an electronic 
correction. Consequently the image quality 
may deteriorate.
Displaying a pattern for adjusting 
an image
You can display a pattern for adjusting the 
projected image with the PATTERN key on 
the Remote Commander. Press the 
PATTERN key again to restore the previous 
image.
Correcting for trapezoidal 
distortion of the projected image 
(Keystone adjustment)
If the screen is tilted, or you are projecting 
from an oblique angle, perform keystone 
adjustment.If the projected image is 
trapezoidally-distorted in the vertical 
plane
1Press the KEYSTONE key on the 
Remote Commander once or select “V 
Keystone” in the Installation menu to 
display the adjustment menu.
2Adjust the value using V/v/B/b.
The higher the setting, the narrower the 
top of the projected image. The lower 
the setting, the narrower the bottom of 
the projected image.
Press the RESET key to restore the 
projected image before adjustment.
If the projected image is 
trapezoidally-distorted in the lateral 
plane
1Press the KEYSTONE key on the 
Remote Commander twice, or select 
“H Keystone” in the Installation menu 
to display the adjustment menu.
2Adjust the value using V/v/B/b.
The higher the setting, the narrower the 
right side of the projected image. The 
lower the setting, the narrower the left 
side of the projected image.

Projecting/Adjusting an Image
Press the RESET key to restore the 
projected image before adjustment.
 Keystone adjustment is an electronic 
correction. Consequently the image quality 
may deteriorate.
 Depending on the position adjusted with the 
lens shift feature, using the Keystone feature 
may change the aspect ratio of the original 
image, or the projected image may be 
distorted.
 If keystone correction is performed using the 
KEYSTONE key, the Warp correction 
feature (if enabled) will be canceled.
Correcting image twist (Warp 
correction feature)
You can correct image twist with the warp 
correction feature.

2Enable the Edge Blending function.
Display the main menu to set “Edge 
Blending” to “On” in the Installation 
menu.
3Set the position of blending.
Choose the position (top/bottom/left/

Set the blending width according to the 
overlapping range for the source signal.
5Adjust 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.
6Set “Blend Gamma.”
Select the gamma mode in which the 
overlapping of images is least 
noticeable.
 The procedure shown above is for general 
guidance. Your own installation may vary 
according to the situation.
 In case of multiple projectors, use the color 
matching function (page 34) to adjust for 
differences in color and brightness.
Note that more detailed adjustment for Edge 
Blending is possible using a PC application.
For more details, consult with qualified Sony 
personnel.
 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 main unit or 
the 1 key on the Remote Commander.
The projector starts shutdown and turns 
off. If you press the ?/1 key on the main 
unit or the ? key on the Remote 
Commander within 5 seconds again, 
shutdown is cancelled.
2Unplug the AC power cord from the 
wall outlet.
To turn off without displaying 
confirmation message

ECO gauge
This gauge indicates the current 
effectiveness of the projector’s ECO 
function. (For details on the ECO function, 
see “ECO MODE key” (page 6) and “ECO” 
(page 29).) 
The leaf icons are displayed when the 
projector is shut down. The number of 
displayed icons varies according to how 
much energy is saved as a result of using the 
ECO function.
