 The receivable digital signals are preset signals of Memory No. 3 to 11, 26, 32, 37, 45, 50, 55 and 
56 (VPL-EW5 only).
 When a signal other than the preset signals shown above is input, the picture may not be displayed 
properly.
 When an SXGA+ signal is input, the image may extend beyond the edges of the screen. In this 
case, input a signal with no black edges around the image, and disconnect and reconnect the cable 
or select the input signal by pressing the INPUT key.
 If the resolution of the input signal is different from the panel resolution, the input signal is not 
displayed in its own resolution, and letters or lines may be uneven. 45 1280 × 960 SXGA VESA 60 Hz 60.000 60.000 H-pos, V-pos

This section describes the examples for installing the projector on the ceiling.
When installing the projector on the ceiling, use a Projector Suspension Support recommended 
by Sony.
For ceiling installation, ask for qualified Sony personnel.
See the chart on page 57 concerning the installation measurements.
The alphabetical letters in the illustrations indicate the distances below.
