• For more information, refer also to the instruction manuals of the equipment you are connecting.
• Use a no-resistance audio cable.
Connection with a computer is explained for each input signal.

Notes for connecting this unit and the HDBaseT transmitter
• Ask a professional or Sony dealer to perform wiring. If wiring is not correct, the transmission
characteristics of the cable will not be achieved, and image or sound may break up or you may
experience unstable performance.
• Connect the cable directly to the HDBaseT transmitter without going through a hub or router.
• Use cables that meet the following conditions.
-CAT5e or higher
-Shielded type (covering terminals)
-Straight wire connection
-Single wire
• When installing the cables, use a cable tester, cable analyzer, or similar device to check if the
cables meet the CAT5e or higher requirement. If there is a transit terminal between this unit and
the HDBaseT transmitter, include it when measuring.
• To reduce the affect of noise, install and use the cable in a manner where it is not rolled up and it
is as straight as possible.
• Install the cable away from the other cables (especially the power cable).

14 Connecting the Projector
• When installing multiple cables, do not bind them and keep the running parallel distance as short
as possible.
• The transmittable distance of the cable is 100 m (approx. 328 feet) maximum. If it exceeds 100 m
(approx. 328 feet), it may cause the image or the sound to break up, or cause a multifunction in
LAN communication. Do not use the HDBaseT transmitter beyond the transmittable distance.
• Inquire about operation or function problems caused by other manufacturer's devices with the
relevant manufacturer.

Replacing the Lamp
Replace the lamp with a new one if a
message displayed on the projected image
(pages 53, 54).
Use an LMP-C281/C250 projector lamp (not
supplied) for replacement.
• The lamp remains hot after the projector is
turned off. If you touch the lamp, you may
burn your finger. When you replace the
lamp, wait for at least an hour after
turning off the projector for the lamp to
cool sufficiently.
• Do not allow any metallic or inflammable
objects into the lamp replacement slot after
removing the lamp, otherwise it may cause
electrical shock or fire. Do not put your
hands into the slot.
•If the lamp breaks, contact qualified
Sony personnel. Do not replace the lamp
yourself.
• When removing the lamp, be sure to pull it
out straight, by holding the designated
location. If you touch a part of the lamp other
than the designated location, you may be
burned or injured. If you pull out the lamp
while the projector is tilted, the pieces may
scatter if the lamp breaks any may cause
injury.
1Turn off the projector, and disconnect
the AC power cord from a wall outlet.
2When the lamp has cooled
sufficiently, open the lamp cover by
loosening 3 screws.
You can remove the lamp cover for a
while when installing on the ceiling.
Take care to prevent the lamp cover from
falling down, as it is not fixed.

68 Projection Distance and Lens Shift Range
Projection Distance and Lens Shift Range
The following describes the projection distance and height from lens center to bottom of screen
by each projected screen size.
The projection distance is the distance between the front of the lens and the surface of the
projected image.
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 lens center to projected image surface). For
this unit, the same projection distance calculations apply to both floor and ceiling installation.

regarded as 100%.
