Excellent brightness and contrast
The VPL-VW11HT utilizes three wide XGA (1366 x 768 pixels) resolution LCD panels and a 200 W UHP lamp, to provide a high brightness output of 1000 ANSI lumens (in 16:9 mode). It provides excellent contrast for crisp images, by innovating all the key components that make up an LCD projector - LCD panels, optical unit, lamp and electrical circuit to prevent light leakage and to make full use of the LCDs dynamic range. Now the VPL-VW11HT offers remarkable image reproduction, with intense, deep blacks and rich color gradation.

Superb picture quality

For crisp and vivid image reproduction, the VPL-VW11HT incorporates a series of high-performance Sony signal processing technologies such as Digital Reality Creation - Multi Function (DRC-MF), 3D gamma correction and 3D*/3-line Y/C separation/ digital noise reduction circuit. The newly developed DRC-MF incorporates the CINE MOTION (2-3 pull down) function that helps reproduce natural and detailed pictures from film-originated sources. This, combined with the original DRC-MF effects, provides high-defining progressive signals, bringing out the true beauty and fascination of cinema.
*This function is only applicable to NTSC signals.

Cinema black mode

For extra versatility, the VPL-VW11HT allows you to set lamp drive wattage to normal (1000 ANSI lumens) or cinema black mode (approx. 750 ANSI lumens). The cinema black mode provides an elevated black level for viewing film sources. For optimum results, use both modes according to ambient light conditions.

Through mode

In the through mode, video signals are not affected by scan conversion and this enables the VPL-VW11HT to reproduce a high-density, one-to-one mapped picture. The full through mode is suitable for squeezed 16:9 sources, while the normal through mode is ideal for 4:3 sources.

Perfect for your home theater system
Specially designed for the home theater environment, the VPL-VW11HT offers an outstanding range of features. An extended air duct and innovative cooling structure reduce fan noise to barely audible levels, ensuring that the only thing youll hear is the sound from your audio system. The new air filter dramatically reduces the dust entering the unit. The digital keystone correction function* provides installation flexibility by correcting distortion that can arise from extreme projection angles. And like all other Sony home theater projectors, the VPL-VW11HT features a stylish white colored cabinet that makes it the perfect complement for any interior.
*This function is available for full, normal, and zoom modes.

Precautions

On safety

Check that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with the voltage of your local power supply. Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified 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 to 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. Be careful not to catch your fingers by the adjuster when you lift up the projector. Do not push hard on the top of the projector with the adjuster out.

On preventing internal heat build-up
After you turn off the power with the 1 key on the Remote Commander or the I / 1 key on the control panel, do not disconnect the unit from the wall outlet while the cooling fan is still running. Caution The projector is equipped with ventilation holes (intake) on the bottom and ventilation holes (exhaust) on the front. 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.
On repacking 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. 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

The LCD projector is manufactured using highprecision 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. Air polluted by tobacco smoke, etc., may have a negative effect on the projector. Be sure to avoid tobacco smoke, etc., from directly getting in to this unit. Ventilate well when using this unit in a closed room.

Adjuster buttons

While pressing the buttons, lower the projector. Then, release the buttons. The adjuster will be locked, then the height of the projector will be fixed. For fine adjustment, turn the adjusters to the right and the left.
If necessary, turn the rear adjusters to the right and the left to adjust the height of the projector.
