About the Control for 
HDMI
What is the Control for HDMI?
Control for HDMI is an HDMI standard 
mutual control function which uses the 
HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics 
Control) specification. By connecting a 
variety of Control for HDMI compatible 
equipment such as a hard disk Blu-ray Disc 
player, a DVD player/recorder, an AV 
amplifier, etc. to a Sony Control for HDMI 
compatible TV or a projector with an HDMI 
cable, the equipment connected will 
synchronize with the TV or the projector 
when either is operated.
Using the Control for HDMI 
function
 Connect and assign the settings of each 
equipment appropriately.
 Do not turn off the main power of the 
equipment.
 Set the input setting of the projector to the 
HDMI input which the equipment is 
connected.
 Check if the picture from the equipment 
appears appropriately on the projector.
Connecting a Control for HDMI 
compatible equipment
Use an HDMI cable to connect the projector 
and the Control for HDMI compatible 
equipment. Use a cable that has acquired the 
HDMI logo.
Setting the Control for HDMI
Be sure to assign the appropriate settings for 
both the projector and the Control for HDMI 
compatible equipment connected to the 
projector. For settings of the projector, see page 53. For settings of the Control for 
HDMI compatible equipment connected to 
the projector, refer to its operating 
instructions. When equipment that is 
compatible with the “Control for HDMI - 
Easy Setting” is connected to the HDMI 
input of the projector, if you turn the Control 
for HDMI function setting of the projector 
on, the Control for HDMI function setting of 
the connected equipment will also turn on.
What you can do with the 
Control for HDMI
 By turning on or playing back the 
connected equipment, the projector will 
turn on and the input setting will switch to 
the terminal of the connected equipment 
automatically.
 By turning the power of the projector off, 
the power of the connected equipment will 
also turn off automatically.
 By changing the language setting of the 
projector, the language setting of the 
connected equipment will also change to 
the same language automatically.
 The available functions of the Control for 
HDMI differ depending on each equipment. 
Refer to the operating instruction of each 
equipment.
 Some synchronization may be available with 
equipment of other brands with similar 
functions, but it is not guaranteed.

About DCI 
specification
DCI is a specification for Digital cinema 
projection systems, established by the 
industry standards body DCI (Digital 
Cinema Initiatives), an affiliation of six 
major Hollywood studios.
About the x.v.Color
 “x.v.Color” is a promotion name given to 
the products that have the capability to 
realize a wide color space based on the 
xvYCC specifications and is a trademark 
of Sony Corporation.
 xvYCC is an international standard of the 
technical specifications of the extended-
gamut color space for video signals. The 
color gamut of xvYCC is wider than the 
one of sRGB that is used with the current 
television system.
About the simulated 
3D feature
 Use the simulated 3D function taking into 
account that the picture will provide a 
different look from the original images, 
because this function converts the video 
images.
 Note that if the unit is used for profit or for 
public viewing, displaying 2D video 
images as 3D video images by converting 
to the simulated 3D may constitute an 
infringement of the rights of authors or 
producers, which are legally protected.
