the connected equipment.  
*2: Select “Off” to avoid entering standby mode when there is no input signal.  
*3: This varies depending on the “Lamp Mode” setting.  
*4: As the lamp is dimmed gradually, you may not notice any change in brightness. You might only  
notice that the lamp has dimmed when its brightness is restored after there is a change in input  
signal.  
*5: This mode does not work for about three minutes after the lamp lights. A change in signal may  
not be detected depending on the input image. The lamp may become brighter at intervals if you  
continue to use the projector during lamp dimming. However, this is not a malfunction. If With  
No Input is set, it takes priority.

Projection Distance  
The projection distance is the distance between the front of the lens and the surface of the  
projected image. The following describes the projection distance and height from the center of  
the lens to edge of screen by each projected screen size. Height H is the height from the bottom  
of the projected image (top for ceiling mount) to A (determined by drawing a perpendicular line  
from the center of the lens to projected image surface).  
Caution  
Never mount the projector on the ceiling or move it by yourself. Be sure to consult with  
qualified Sony personnel (charged).
