• 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. * Each of the frame rates is also compatible with 1/1.001.

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.
