Lamp Dimming*4*5: If an image does not change for about
10 seconds, lamp output is gradually reduced (approximately 10% to
15%*3) from that set in the Lamp Mode. Automatically the lamp slowly
darkens to approximately 30% of its lamp output according to the
selected time (with no change to input signal) “5,” “ 10,” “15,” “20”
minutes or “Demo.,” While dimming the lamp, the message “Lamp
Dimming” appears. If you select “Demo.,” the image will start to
darken about 40 seconds later. When any change in signal is detected,
or an operation (remote control or control panel) is performed, normal
brightness is restored.
Off: You can deactivate the With Static Signal.
Direct Power On On/Off: When set to “On,” you can turn the power on without going to
Standby mode when the AC power cord is connected to a wall outlet.
With the projector turned off, you can also unplug the AC power cord
without going to Standby mode, regardless of the Direct Power On
setting.

The Installation Menu
The Installation menu is used for installing the projector.
*1: When “High Altitude Mode” is set to “On,” the speed of the fan increases, and the fan noise
becomes slightly louder.
*2: Since the Keystone adjustment is an electronic correction, the image may be deteriorated.

Troubleshooting
Before asking to have the projector repaired, try to diagnose the problem, following the
instructions below.
Symptoms Remedy Page
The power is not turned
on.
Check if the AC power cord is firmly connected. –
When the “Control Key Lock” is set to “On,” you cannot turn
on the projector using the ?/1 key on the projector.
21
If the lamp or lamp cover is not attached securely, the projector
cannot be turned on.
29
No image. Check if the connecting cable is connected to external
equipment firmly.
7
Check the computer signal is set for output to an external
monitor only. If you set your computer to output to both the
computer’s display and an external monitor, the external
monitor image may not be displayed properly. Set your
computer to output to only an external monitor.
9
Check if the input source is correctly selected. 9
Check if the picture is muted. 6
On-screen display does
not appear.
The on-screen display does not appear when “Status” in the
Operation menu is set to “Off.”
21
The aspect ratio of the
display is not right/the
image is displayed
smaller /a portion of
image does not appear.
The image may not display correctly because the input signal
cannot be judged correctly. In this case, set “Aspect” manually.
5, 16,
18
The image is a
trapezoid.
The images become trapezoidal because of the projection
angle. In this case, you can correct the trapezoidal distortion,
using a Keystone feature.
5, 12,

When the “V Keystone” is set to “Manual,” the keystone
feature does not work automatically. Set “V Keystone” to
“Auto”*1 or “Manual” to set manually.

*1: VPL-DX140/DX120/DW120 only.
The image is dark/too
bright.
The settings for “Brightness,” “Contrast,” and “Lamp Mode”
affect brightness of the image. Check if the value is
appropriate.
15, 22
The image will be dark when the lamp is burnt out. Check
“Lamp Timer,” and replace the lamp with a new one if
necessary.
24, 29
“With Static Signal” is set to “On.” 22
During picture muting, the lamp is dimmed to reduce power
consumption.

When video signal is not input, the lamp is dimmed to reduce
power consumption.
–
The image becomes
darker or brighter.
When the lamp is dimmed for a long time, brightness may
increase temporarily, but this is not malfunction.
–
When the “Lamp Mode” is set to “Auto,” the luminance of the
lamp changes according to the input image.
22
The image is not clear. Check if the projector is in focus. 10
The picture will not be clear if condensation has accumulated
on the lens. In this case, let the projector sit for about two
hours with the power on.
–
The image is noisy. Check if the connecting cable is connected to the external
equipment properly.

Check if the batteries are not exhausted. –
The fan is noisy. The sound from the fan is often greater than normal to cool the
lamp, etc. in the following cases.
• “Lamp Mode” is set to “High.”
• The unit is used at a high altitude. “High Altitude Mode” is
set to “On.”
• The unit is used in the location where the temperature is high.

Replacing the Lamp
Others
Replacing the Lamp
Replace the lamp with a new one if a message displayed on the projected image (page 26).
Use an LMP-D213 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 one screw.
For safety reasons, do not loosen any other
screws.
3Loosen the two screws on the lamp
unit (1). Fold out the handle (2),
then pull out the lamp unit by the
handle (3).

electrical shock or fire.
4Insert the new lamp all the way in until
it is securely in place (1). Tighten the
two screws (2). Fold down the handle
to replace it (3).
• Be careful not to touch the glass surface
of the lamp and a inside conductor.
• Insert the handle firmly to attach it

Cleaning the Air Filter
When a message appears on the projected image indicating time for a filter cleaning, clean the
air filter (page 26).
If the dust cannot be removed from the air filter even after cleaning, replace the air filter with
a new one. For details on purchasing/fitting a new air filter, consult with the store where you
purchased the projector, or contact qualified Sony personnel.
If you neglect to clean the air filter, dust may accumulate, clogging it. As a result, the
temperature may rise inside the unit, leading to a possible malfunction or fire.
1Turn off the projector, and disconnect
the AC power cord from the AC outlet.
2Slide out and remove the air filter
cover from the unit.
3Clean the air filter with a vacuum
cleaner.
Pull out and remove the air filter, and
clean it with a vacuum cleaner.

Projection Distance
The projection distance is the distance between the front of the lens and the surface of the
projected image. The following describes the projection distance and height from the center of
the lens to edge of screen by each projected screen size. 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 the center of the lens to projected image surface).
Never mount the projector on the ceiling or move it by yourself. Be sure to consult with
qualified Sony personnel (charged).
