Using a LAN terminal
When using network features via the LAN terminal, be sure to check if “LAN Setting” is set to “LAN Port” (page 30).
The HDBaseT transmitter is used when connecting the projector to a computer, video device, or network
equipment.
Notes for connecting this unit to the HDBaseT transmitter
Ask a professional or Sony dealer to perform wiring. If wiring has been insufficiently performed, it
affects the transmission characteristics of the cable, and causes broken or unstable images.
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 connectors)
- 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 connector 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).
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 broken images or a malfunction in LAN communication. Do not use the
HDBaseT transmitter beyond the maximum transmittable distance of the cable.
For operation or function problems caused by devices of other manufacturers, contact the relevant
manufacturer.

Lens shift range
The lens shift range represents the distance in percent (%) by which the lens can be shifted from the
center of the projected image. The lens shift range is regarded as 0% when the point (A) in the illustration
(point where a line drawn from the center of the lens and the projected image cross at right angles) is
aligned with the center of the projected image and full width or full height of the projected image is
regarded as 100%.
