MOBILE PROJECTOR RANGE
WXGA and XGA 
resolution desktop  projectors with 
2600-3200 lumens  brightness 
Weighing just 2.5kg, these professional projectors 
give businesses the most practical balance of great 
performance, portable simplicity and are environmentally 
conscious. Easy to carr y, set-up and power down, they are 
ideal for small to medium-sized rooms.
The DX120/DX125 deliver 2600lm colour brightness with a 
1.47 - 1.77:1 throw ratio. The VPL-DW120/DW125 offer WXGA 
resolution at 2600lm colour brightness with a 1.44 - 1.87:1 
throw ratio. The VPL-DX140/DX145 offer a step-up with 
3200lm colour brightness and a 1.37-1.80:1 throw ratio.    
The VPL-DX125, DW125 and DX145 models all have   
LAN/Wireless and USB connectivity as standard, allowing for 
network presentation, monitoring and control and PC-less 
presentation.
Furthermore, in common with all Sony projectors, the 
projectors feature the Sony BrightEra 3LCD inorganic panel 
technology that delivers higher picture quality, substantially 
brighter images, higher efficiency, better contrast, 
consistent colour stability and longer durability and usability.
All six models feature three brightness modes for different 
uses – High for presentations in bright meeting rooms 
(3200/2600/2600 colour brightness), Standard for ever yday 
use (2300/1900/1900 colour brightness) and Low for video 
in darkened rooms (1900/1500/1700 colour brightness). 
						

							ECO Mode Key 
Users can easily select power-saving ECO 
Modes. The most energy-efficient mode is 
accessible though a single button-push,   
with further adjustments available through   
an easily understood menu system. 
ECO Picture Mute - (Instant Off/Instant On)   
The new ECO Picture Mute feature reduces 
power consumption down to 30%, saving 
cost and lamp hours. This feature can be 
used in the boardroom as instant off/instant 
on in-between presentations. There is no 
need to power completely off and turn 
back on, which is time consuming.  
Auto Dimming Mode  
The D100 Series projectors automatically 
adjust brightness depending on the image.  
The darker the image, the less energy used 
by the lamp. (Maximum 70% lamp power 
reduction based on the image.)
ECO Lamp Dimming  
These projectors (if this function is selected) 
can reduce power consumption and 
brightness by 10-15%. After a user pre-
set time, the brightness and power 
consumption will reduce to 30% power 
usage, with instant 100% brightness returning 
as soon as a new signal input is detected.  ECO Gauge 
 
When the projector is shut down, an 
ECO achievement indication (gauge) 
appears to show the user how well 
they have used the projector. The 
more ECO features that have been 
used, the better the ECO green leaf 
mark. (Calculated by the use of ECO 
functions and actual lamp wattage.)
Network Presentation   
Send content via a LAN 10 BASE-T/100 
BASE-TX or wirelessly via USB wireless 
LAN model that comes standard with 
the VPL-DX125, DX145 and DW125 
models.
USB Media View  
Go PC-less with the VPL-DX125, DX145 
and DW125 by using a USB flash drive 
for jpeg/.jpg/.bmp/.png/.tiff/.tif image 
files. XGA Resolution
 
The VPL-DX120, DX125, DX140 and DX145 
have a native XGA (1024 x 768) 4:3 screen 
resolution panel, perfect for presentations 
direct from a laptop or PC.
WXGA Resolution  
The VPL-DW120 and VPL-DW125 have a 
native WXGA (1280 x 800) 16:10 screen 
resolution panel, perfect for presentations 
direct from a laptop or PC.
7000 Hours Lamp Life    
A new driving scheme reduces gap 
expansion which minimises brightness 
gradation. A new cooling system allows 
uniformity in the temperature of the glass 
bulb which prevents the glass from clouding. 
Vertical Keystone Adjustment  
The projectors can correct keystone 
distortion by +/- 30% for perfect installation 
adjustment to the screen. (Note that since 
this is an electronic correction, it will reduce 
the picture quality slightly.)
Other FeaturesKey Features   
						

							Digital Zoom 
With Digital Zoom, users can enlarge a 
selected area of a computer-sourced 
image on the screen up to four times.
Six Picture Modes  
Both these projectors have six available 
picture modes for correct picture 
quality; Dynamic, Standard, Game, 
Living, Cinema and Presentation. With 
six picture modes and 3 brightness 
modes combined, users can select the 
most suitable picture/brightness mode 
according to the picture source and 
environment for the perfect image.   
3LCD BrightEra Technology  
The Sony BrightEra inorganic TFT 3LCD 
panels deliver improved panel light 
resistance, higher resolution, high 
brightness and increased panel reliability.
Smart APA (Auto Pixel Alignment)  
When a computer is used as a picture 
source, APA automatically optimises 
Phase, Pitch and Shift values. These can 
also be adjusted manually. Auto Input Search
 
Auto Input Search detects which input has 
an incoming signal and automatically 
switches to it. This makes it easier for users 
to set up the projector prior to making a 
presentation.
Picture Muting / Audio Muting  
If there is a need to blackout the image 
or turn off the audio from the projector, 
all it takes is a single button-press on the 
remote control. One button will mute 
audio and image at the same time. 
There is also a separate “mute audio” 
button for audio-only muting.
Audio Switcher Facility  
To avoid the need for a separate audio 
switcher, the projector can be used 
to select between two audio sources, 
routing them via a variable audio output 
to the room amplification system.
Picture Freeze Function  
Picture Freeze is useful during 
presentations where users need to look at 
other material on their PC ’s screen without  the viewing audience being aware. 
Freeze the current image and users can 
use their PC independently of the display 
from the projector.
Off and Go
 
At the end of a presentation, users can 
turn off the power supply to the projector 
immediately, instead of going through a 
‘power down’ cycle. 
Direct Power On/Off  
With this function, there is no need to go 
through ‘Standby ’ mode when powering 
up the projector. The projector can be set 
to activate as soon as power is supplied.
Built-in Security Measures  
The projectors have a package of security 
measures, including password protection 
and physical anti-theft anchor points.
