B Overview
Preventing internal heat build-up
Precautions
After you turn off the power with the ?/1
key, do not disconnect the unit from the wall
outlet while the cooling fan is still running.
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.
Caution
The unit is equipped with ventilation holes
(intake) and ventilation holes (exhaust). Do
not block or place anything near these holes,
or internal heat build-up may occur, causing
picture degradation or damage to the
projector.
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.
• Do not place your hand or objects near the
ventilation holes. The air coming out is
hot.
• Be careful not to get your fingers caught in
the adjuster.
• Clean the filter at regular intervals.
LCD data projector
• Do not spread a cloth or paper under the
unit.
• This LCD data projector is manufactured
using high-precision technology. You may,
however, see tiny black points and/or
bright points (red, blue, or green) that
appear continuously on the LCD data
projector. This is a normal result of the
manufacturing process and does not
indicate a malfunction
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 unit 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.

Hot and humid
Notes on Installation
and Usage
Unsuitable Installation
Do not install the projector in the following
situations. Installation is these situations
or locations may cause a malfunction or
damage to the unit.
• Avoid installing the unit in a location
where the temperature or humidity is very
high, or the temperature is very low.
• To avoid moisture condensation, do not
install the unit in a location where the
temperature may rise rapidly.
Poorly ventilated locations
Locations subject to direct cool or
warm air from an air-conditioner
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent
internal heat build-up. Do not place the
unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or
near materials (curtains, draperies) that
may block the ventilation holes. When
internal heat builds up due to blockage of
ventilation holes, the temperature sensor
will function, and the power will be turned
off automatically.
Installing the projector in such a location
may cause a malfunction of the unit due to
moisture condensation or a rise in
temperature.
Near a heat or smoke sensor
7
• Leave space of more than 30 cm (11 /8
inches) around the unit.
• Be careful not to allow the ventilation
holes to inhale tiny objects such as pieces
of paper or clumps of dust.
Malfunction of the sensor may occur.

Very dusty, extremely smoky
locations
Blocking the ventilation holes
Avoid using a thick-piled carpet or anything
that covers the ventilation holes (exhaust/
intake); otherwise, internal heat may build
up.
Avoid installing the unit in a very dusty or
extremely smoky environment. Otherwise,
the air filter will become obstructed, and this
may cause a malfunction of the unit or
damage it. Dust preventing the air passing
through the filter may cause a rise in the
internal temperature of the unit. Clean the
filter periodically.
Placing a blocking object just in
front of the lens
Do not place any object just in front of the
lens that may block the light during
projection. Heat from the light may damage
the object. Use the PIC MUTING key on the
Remote Commander to cut off the picture.
Unsuitable Conditions
Do not use the projector under the following
conditions.
Usage at High Altitude
Standing the unit upright on one
side
When using the projector at an altitude of
1,500 m or higher, turn on “High
Altitude Mode” in the INSTALL SETTING
menu. Failing to set this mode when using
the projector at high altitudes could have
adverse effects, such as reducing
Avoid using the unit standing upright on its
side. It may cause malfunction.
the reliability of certain components.
Note on the screen
When using a screen with an uneven surface,
a striped pattern may rarely appear on the
screen depending on the distance between
the screen and the projector or the zooming
magnification settings used. This is not a
malfunction of the projector.
Tilting the unit to the right or left
Avoid tilting the unit to an angle of 15°, and
avoid installing the unit in any way other
than placing it on a level surface or
suspending from the ceiling. Such an
installation may cause color shading or
shorten the lamp life excessively.

About the Supplied
Manuals
Features
High brightness, high picture
quality
The following manuals are supplied with
this unit.
High brightness
Sony’s unique optical system provides high-
efficiency ensuring a light output of 3000
ANSI lumen (VPL-CX63) or 2500 ANSI
lumen (VPL-CX61).
Safety Regulations (separately
printed manual)
This manual describes important notes and
cautions to which you have to pay attention
when handling and using this product.
High picture quality
Three super-high-aperture 0.79-inch XGA
panels with approximately 790,000 effective
pixels, produce a resolution of 1024 × 768
dots (horizontal/vertical) for RGB input, and
750 horizontal TV lines for video input.
Quick Reference Manual (separately
printed manual)
This manual describes basic operations for
projecting pictures after you have made the
required connections.
Quiet presentation environment
Operating Instructions (on the CD-
ROM) (this manual)
Low fan noise reduces distraction allowing
you to run an optimum presentation even in
a quiet environment.
This Operating Instructions describes the
setup and operations of this unit. Model
VPL-CX63 is used for illustration purposes
throughout this manual. Any differences in
operation are indicated in the text, for
example, “VPL-CX63 only.”
Easy setup and simple operation
Powered zoom/focus equipped

zoom and powered focus lens, allowing you
to adjust the size and focus of an image with
the Remote Commander away from the
projector.
Note
You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 or
higher is installed to read the Operating
Instructions stored on the CD-ROM.
Short focal lens
The projection distance is very short,
approximately 2.4 m (7.8 feet), when
projecting an 80-inch image, which allows
projection on a larger screen even in a
limited space.
V keystone correction
The projector supports the V keystone
(Vertical trapezoidal distortion) correction
feature, which automatically corrects
vertical trapezoidal distortion of the image
caused when the projector is tilted upward.
Off & Go feature
The cooling fan built into the projector will
work even after the power is turned off and
the power cord is disconnected. This enables

When you connect the projector,
make sure to:
• Turn off all equipment before making any

• Use the proper cables for each connection.
• Insert the cable plugs firmly; loose
connections may increase noise and
reduce performance of picture signals.
When pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it
