from which you want to project the picture, etc.
Preparation 1: Installing the Unit
The lens shift allows you to have broader options for placing the unit and viewing pictures 
easily.
The installation distance between the unit and a screen varies depending on the size of the 
screen or whether or not you use the lens shift features. Install this unit so that it fits the 
size of your screen. For details on the distance between the unit and the screen (the 
projection distance) and the size of projected video, see “Projection Distance and Lens 
Shift Range” (1 page 78).
1Position the unit parallel to the screen.
2Project an image on the screen and adjust the picture so that it fits the 
screen (1 page 8).
When using a screen with an uneven surface, stripes pattern may rarely appear on the screen 
depending on the distance between the screen and the unit or the zooming magnifications. This is 
not a malfunction of the unit.

To dealers
Use the Sony PSS-H10 Projector Suspension Support, and take measures to prevent
