• Check that the operating voltage of your unit is
identical with the voltage of your local power supply.
If voltage adaptation is required, consult with
qualified Sony personnel.
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet,
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified Sony
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 from 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 installation
• When the projector is mounted on the ceiling, the
Sony PSS-2000 Projector Suspension Support must
be used for installation.
• 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. Leave space of
more than 30 cm (11 7/8 inches) between the wall and
the projector. Be aware that room heat rises to the
ceiling; check that the temperature near the
installation location is not excessive.
• Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources
such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust or humidity,
mechanical vibration or shock.
• Do not install the projector near to medical
instruments when a LAN card is used. It may cause
incorrect operations of the instruments.
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 turning off the power, the cooling fan runs for
about six minutes while the ON indicator flashes in
green. The indicator flashes quickly for one minute.
During that time, you will not be able to turn the
power back on with the ON key.
Caution
The projector is equipped with ventilation holes
(intake) at the bottom/front side and ventilation holes
(exhaust) at the left/right side.
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 air filter in every 100 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.
On LCD projector
LCD projector is manufactured using high-precision
technology. You may, however, see tiny black points
and/or bright points (red, blue, or green) that
continuously appear on the LCD projector. This is a
normal result of the manufacturing process and does
not indicate a malfunction.
High brightness, high picture quality
• High brightness
Adopting four newly developed 120 W UHP lamps
and a LCD panel with micro lens provides high
brightness (light output 4,000 of ANSI lumen) and
excellent uniformity on the picture.
• High resolution
Thanks to use of three 1.8-inch SXGA1) panels with
approximately 1,300,000 pixels, the projector can
project the sharp picture with the resolution of 1280 ×
1024 pixels.
• DRC (Digital Reality Creation)
The DRC technology allows you to obtain a finer,
more detailed picture with four-times higher density
than the conventional video picture.
Accepts various input signals
This projector has a built-in high performance scan
converter which converts the input signals to display
the 15 k RGB, DTV, HDTV, VGA1), SVGA1), XGA1),
SXGA1) and UXGA1) (fV = up to 75 Hz) signals as
well as the video signals of the composite, S video and
component.
The projector accepts a wide range of HDTV/DTV
signals as shown in the chart below.
System expandability and versatility
The projector has RS-232C/422A/PJ COM interface
connectors for communication.

By combining the interface boards and signal interface
switcher (not supplied), VPL-FE110U/FE110M
projection systems can be greatly expanded. This
projector also has the group and device index functions
for using multiple projectors in one system.
Easy and flexible setup
• Easy setup with external equipment
This projector has 48 preset data for input signals in
the memory. You can get a picture properly on the
screen by connecting equipment and pressing Sony’s
original APA (Auto Pixel Alignment) key.
• Flexible setup
The lens shift function allows you to install the
projector in a wide range of locations, without
worrying about keystone distortion (the picture going
out of square). The power focus and power zoom
functions also let you change the size of the projection
screen without having to move the projector.
• Stack installation
Thanks to the lens shift function, up to three projectors
can be stacked, which improves the brightness of the
image.
• Fail safe function
The projector uses four lamps for light source. Even if
one of them has burnt out, you can still use the
projector. If two lamps have burnt out, the projector
will automatically enter into standby mode.
Selectable four lamps or two lamps
You can select four lamps for high brightness or two
lamps for the long lamp lives. (For setting the lamp
mode, consult with qualified Sony service personnel.)
Convenient network function
As the Microsoft2) Windows2) CE is built in the
projector, you can connect the projector to LAN using
an optional LAN/wireless LAN PC card.

Do not install the projector in an ill-
ventilated place
The projector is equipped with ventilation holes for intake
on the bottom and front and ventilation holes for exhaust on
the left and right sides to prevent internal heat build-up. Do
not block these ventilation holes and allow adequate air
circulation at an installation location.
Do not place any object beside the
projector
If you put something beside the ventilation holes on the
sides, the exhaust may be inhaled into the projector through
the ventilation holes (intake) at the bottom, causing the
internal temperature to rise and thereby activating the
protection circuit. Install the projector so that the exhaust is
not blocked.
Do not install the projector in a location
where temperature or humidity is very high
Avoid installing the projector in a location
where temperature may rise or fall rapidly
Be careful of air-conditioning and heating in a room where
the projector is installed, as sudden changes in temperature
may lead to moisture condensation and cause damage to the
projector.
Precautions on Installation
Do not install the projector in the following situations. These installations
may cause malfunction or damage to the projector.
Avoid installing the projector in a location
subject to excessive dust
Do not cover the ventilation holes
(exhaust)
Do not cover the front ventilation holes; otherwise, internal
heat may build up.
Do not install the projector on a deep-pile
carpet
If you install the projector on a deep-pile carpet, the
ventilation holes (intake) at the bottom may be blocked,
causing an internal heat build-up.
Do not tilt the projector more than 20
degrees
Avoid tilting the projector side to side more than 20 degrees
or installing it other than on the floor or ceiling. Such
installations may cause malfunctions such as color
irregularity or shortening of lamp life.

About the memory function
The adjustment data for 48 types of input signals are
preset at the factory (preset memory).
When a signal is input to the projector, the signal type
is automatimally detected and the data for the signal is
called from the memory to display an optimum picture.
The data can be adjusted in the INPUT SETTING
menu and the adjusted data will be saved as user
memory.
When you save more than 200 user memories, the
newest one always overwrites the oldest one.
The saved user memory number is displayed in the
INPUT SETTING menu as t
NO. ss.
When an RGB signal other than the preset signals is
input to the projector, the memory number is displayed
as 0 and the closest option is automatically selected
from the preset 48 types of signals.
Notes
• When an RGB signal is input with sync on Green
including external sync, the picture tone may be
greenish. In this case, disconnect the external sync
signal.
• When an HDTV 1035/60i signal is input, the picture
will appear smaller. Adjust SIZE, SHIFT and
