Precautions

On safety

•Check that the operating voltage of your unit is

identical with the voltage of your local power

supply.

•Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet,

unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified

personnel before operating it further.

•Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be

used for several days.

•To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug. Never

pull the cord itself.

•The wall outlet should be near the unit and easily

accessible.

•The unit is not disconnected to the AC power source

(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet,

even if the unit itself has been turned off.

•Do not look into the lens while the lamp is on.

•Do not aim the laser at people or not look into the

laser transmitter.

•Do not place your hand or objects near the

ventilation holes — the air coming out is hot.

•Be careful not to catch your fingers by the adjuster

when you lift up the projector. Do not push hard on

the top of the projector with the adjuster out.

On illumination

•To obtain the best picture, the front of the screen

should not be exposed to direct lighting or sunlight.

•Ceiling-mounted spot lighting is recommended. Use

a cover over fluorescent lamps to avoid lowering the

contrast ratio.

•Cover any windows that face the screen with opaque

draperies.

•It is desirable to install the projector in a room where

floor and walls are not of light-reflecting material. If

the floor and walls are of reflecting material, it is

recommended that the carpet and wall paper be

changed to a dark color.

On preventing internal heat build-up

After you turn off the power with the I /

1

key on the

Remote Commander or on the control panel, do not

disconnect the unit from the wall outlet while the

cooling fan is still running.

Caution

The projector is equipped with ventilation holes

(intake) on the bottom and ventilation holes (exhaust)

on rear. Do not block or place anything near these

holes, or internal heat build-up may occur, causing

picture degradation or damage to the projector.

On cleaning

•To keep the cabinet looking new, periodically clean

it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed

with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent

solution. Never use strong solvents, such as thinner,

benzene, or abrasive cleansers, since these will

damage the cabinet.

•Avoid touching the lens. To remove dust on the lens,

use a soft dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth,

detergent solution, or thinner.

•Clean the filter at regular intervals every 300 hours.

On repacking

•Save the original shipping carton and packing

material; they will come in handy if you ever have to

ship your unit. For maximum protection, repack your

unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

Precautions

Overview

Features

High brightness, high picture quality

•High brightness

The LCD panel with microlens and the 200 W UHP

lamp allow high brightness (light output 1400 ANSI

lumen for VPL-PX20, and 2400 ANSI lumen for

VPL-PX30) and excellent uniformity on the picture.

•High resolution

By adopting three 1.3-inch, approximately 790,000-

pixels XGA panels, this projector can project sharp

picture with the resolutions of 1024 × 768 pixels for

RGB input and 750 horizontal TV lines for video

input.

•High picture performance

This projector utilizes 3D Digital Gamma correction

for good picture uniformity. And the internal RGB

enhancer provides sharper RGB images.

Simple setup

•Sony original high performance APA (Auto Pixel

Alignment) function

You can get the clearest picture automatically by

simply pressing the APA key when the signal is

input from a computer.

•Simple setup with external equipment

This projector has 44 kinds of preset data for input

signals. You can get a suitable picture by connecting

an equipment with supplied cable and pressing the

APA key.

•USB, Digital RGB and 5BNC connectors

USB equipment (e.g., USB mouse) allows you to

expand your system. Using the application software

supplied with the projector allows you to control the

projector from your computer operated with

Windows

1)

98 operating system . The Digital RGB

connector allows you to connect the projector to a

Digital RGB equipment. The 5BNC input connector

allows you to connect the projector to a workstation

output high-resolution signals and to connect the

projector to a computer from a long distance.

Easy presentation

•Remote Commander with mouse control and

laser pointer functions

With the built-in mouse receiver, you can operate a

computer with the Remote Commander. For

presentations, you can use the laser pointer built into

the Remote Commander.

•Digital ZOOM, FUNCTION and HELP keys on

the Remote Commander

The Digital ZOOM allows you to enhance your

presentation by zoooming in on the image.

You can allocate a presentation file to the

FUNCTION keys by using the application software

(CD-ROM) supplied with the projector. Just pressing

the FUNCTION key opens the file immediately.

The HELP key will be helpful if you encounter a

problem during operation.

This projector has a built-in scan converter which

converts the input signal within 1024 × 768 pixels.

•Accept various input signals

This projector accepts video signals of the

composite, S video, and component as well as the

15k RGB, VGA

•The operation range is limited. The shorter the

distance between the Remote Commander and the

projector is, the wider the angle within which the

commander can control the projector.

Connecting with a Computer

This section describes how to connect the projector to

a computer.

You can control the projector from your computer by

using the application software supplied with the projector,

and/or you can use USB equipment. For details, see

“Using USB equipment (e.g., USB mouse)”.

When the projector is connected to a computer, you

can control the mouse of a computer by the Remote

Commander.

The R/L CLICK keys and joy stick function as follows.

Note

Make sure that there is nothing to obstruct the infrared

beam between the Remote Commander and the

Notes

•This unit accepts the VGA, SVGA, XGA or SXGA

signals. However, we recommend you to set the

output signal of your computer to the XGA.

•If you set your computer, such as a notebook type

IBM PC/AT compatible, to output the signal to both

the display of your computer and the external

monitor, the picture of the external monitor may not

appear properly. In such cases, set the output mode

of your computer to output the signal to only the

external monitor.

For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied

with your computer.

•The RGB input connectors of the INPUT A/B and

DIGITAL RGB connector of the INPUT A comply

with the VESA DDC2B. If your computer or

graphics board is compatible with DDC, turn on the

power of the equipment as follows:

1 Connect the projector to the computer with the HD

D-sub 15-pin cable.

2 Turn on the power of the projector.

3 Boot up the computer.

When making connections, be sure to:

•

turn off all equipment before making any connections.

•use the proper cables for each connection.
