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 place your hand or objects near the
ventilation holes. The air coming out is
hot.
On preventing internal heat build-
up
After you turn off the power with the ?/1
(ON/STANDBY) switch, 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) 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.
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.

Step 3: Connecting the Projector
When making connections, be sure to do the following:
• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.
• Use the proper cables for each connection.
• Insert the cable plugs properly; poor connection at the plugs may cause a malfunction or
poor picture quality. When pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it out from the plug, not
the cable itself.
• Refer to the operating instructions of the connected equipment.

Tip
Place the optional 3D Sync Transmitter directly facing the 3D glasses. Also, in order to stabilize
operation of the 3D glasses, it is recommended that you place the 3D Sync Transmitter near your
viewing position.
CAUTION
Be sure to use straight-type LAN cable of up to 15 m labeled TYPE CM, and do not use
an extension cord.
Notes
• The 3D SYNC connector is dedicated for the optional 3D Sync Transmitter. Do not connect
computers or other network devices, to avoid malfunction.
• Be sure to use straight-type LAN cable (not supplied) labeled Cat-7 (Category 7). If you use other
than the specified cable, the 3D Sync Transmitter may occasionally not work.
• Be sure to use cable of up to 15 m, and do not use an extension cord. Also, keep the LAN cable
away from any AC power cords as much as possible.
• Up to one TMR-BR100 can be connected to a projector. Never connect multiple TMR-BR100
units, which may cause a malfunction.
• When connected to the TMR-BR100, the built-in 3D Sync Transmitter feature of the projector will
automatically turn off. You cannot use both at the same time.

– The viewing position is too far from the screen or the distance between the projector and
3D glasses is too great
– If the Anamorphic Zoom lens is mounted on the projector
– If there are other infrared communication devices nearby
• There are differences in perception of 3D video images among individuals.
• When the temperature of the usage environment is low, the 3D effect may be diminished.
• Be careful not to pinch your fingers in hinges of the 3D glasses when bending the temple
frames.
• Do not drop or modify these 3D glasses.
• If these glasses are broken, keep broken pieces away from your mouth or eyes.
• Not for use by children without proper adult supervision.

About the Preset Memory No.
This projector has 41 types of preset data for input signals (the preset memory). When the
preset signal is input, the projector automatically detects the signal type and recalls the
data for the signal from the preset memory to adjust it to an optimum picture. The memory
number and signal type of that signal are displayed in the Information
You can also adjust the preset data through the Screen menu.
menu.
This projector also contains 20 different user memories beside the preset memories used
for inputting analog computer signals. You can save input signals that have not been preset
on these user memories.
When an unpreset signal is input for the first time, a memory number is displayed as 0.
When you adjust the data of the signal in the Screen
menu, it will be registered to the
projector. If more than 20 user memories are registered, the newest memory always
overwrites the oldest one.
Note
When the aspect ratio of input signal does not match the screen size, a part of the screen is displayed in black.

HDMI - Easy Setting” is connected to the
HDMI input of the projector, if you turn the
Control for HDMI function setting of the
projector on, the Control for HDMI function
setting of the connected equipment will also
turn on.
What is the Control for HDMI?
Control for HDMI is an HDMI standard
mutual control function which uses the
HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics
Control) specification. By connecting a
variety of Control for HDMI compatible
equipment such as a hard disk Blu-ray Disc
player, a DVD player/recorder, an AV
amplifier, etc. to a Sony Control for HDMI
compatible TV or a projector with an HDMI
cable, the equipment connected will
synchronize with the TV or the projector
when either is operated.
What you can do with the
Control for HDMI
• Basic operations (playback, stop, menu
operations, etc.) of the connected
equipment is available by using the remote
control of the projector.
• By turning on or playing back the
connected equipment, the projector will
turn on and the input setting will switch to
the terminal of the connected equipment
automatically.
• By turning the power of the projector off,
the power of the connected equipment will
also turn off automatically.
• By selecting equipment connected to the
projector desired to operate with SYNC
MENU button on the remote control of the
projector, the power of the selected
equipment will turn on and the input will
switch to the terminal of the connected
equipment automatically.
• By changing the language setting of the
projector, the language setting of the
connected equipment will also change to
the same language automatically.
Using the Control for HDMI
function
• Connect and assign the settings of each
equipment appropriately.
• Do not turn off the main power of the
equipment.
• Set the input setting of the projector to the
HDMI input which the equipment is
connected.
• Check if the picture from the equipment
appears appropriately on the projector.
Connecting a Control for HDMI
compatible equipment
Use an HDMI cable to connect the projector
and the Control for HDMI compatible
equipment. Use a cable that has acquired the
HDMI logo.
Notes
• The available functions of the Control for
HDMI differ depending on each
equipment. Refer to the operating
instruction of each equipment.

with equipment of other brands with
similar functions, but it is not guaranteed.
About the x.v.Color
• “x.v.Color” is a promotion name given to
the products that have the capability to
realize a wide color space based on the
xvYCC specifications and is a trademark
of Sony Corporation.
• xvYCC is an international standard of the
technical specifications of the extended-
gamut color space for video signals. The
color gamut of xvYCC is wider than the
one of sRGB that is used with the current
television system.
About the simulated
3D feature
• Use the simulated 3D function taking into
account that the picture will provide a
different look from the original images,
because this function converts the video
images.
• Note that if the projector is used for profit
or for public viewing, displaying 2D video
images as 3D video images by converting
to the simulated 3D may constitute an
infringement of the rights of authors or
producers, which are legally protected.
