Quiet Operation - Sony VPL-FX41 Brochure & Specs

Easy Lamp Replacement and Filter
Cleaning
When it's time to replace the lamp in the VPL-FX41,
VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors, a timely message
appears clearly on the screen. The lamp is
accessible from the side of the projector and the
fi lters from the front, so lamp replacement and fi lter
cleaning can be performed without uninstalling the
projector.
Maintenance and Notifi cations Via
Network
Because the VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40
projectors can be connected to a LAN, a number
of functions can be performed remotely using a
web browser.* For example, the projector's current
status can be verifi ed and simple controls, such as
powering the unit on or off, can be performed.
Also, the system can be set up to send automatic
e-mail reports to designated recipients for
scheduled maintenance, including projected
lamp life and error reports.

Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher is required.
Digital Keystone Adjustment
Vertical Keystone distortion of up to ±30 degrees
can be digitally corrected via the OSD and/or
Remote Commander unit of the VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40
and VPL-FX40 projectors. This enables detailed
images to be projected with their correct
geometry, even when installation space is limited.
Multiple Interfaces for Flexible
Operation
Multitude of Inputs
The VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors
accept a wide variety of input signals, including
HDMI (the latest standard for digitally connecting to
high-defi nition systems), component and
composite video, S-Video (Y/C), and computer
signals up to UXGA (fV: 60 Hz) — which expands the
system-connection possibilities.
The VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors are
equipped with fi ve BNC connectors, so they can
accept signals from sources such as workstations
or professional video equipment, and these
sources can be located far away from the projector
because the interfaces support long-distance
signal transmission.
Monitor Output for Presenters
Projected images can be monitored by connecting
a PC monitor to the VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40
projectors' monitor output and placing it in the
presenter's fi eld of view. This allows the presenter to
continually face the audience during the
presentation for a fl uid and professional delivery.
Multi-Language OSD
(On-Screen Display)
The OSD used for control of the VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40
and VPL-FX40 projectors is available in 16
languages: English, Dutch, French, Italian, German,
Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Norwegian,
Japanese, simplifi ed Chinese, traditional Chinese,
Korean, Thai, and Arabic.

Quiet Operation

The VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors are
incredibly quiet, allowing for smooth and
undisturbed presentations. The low fan noise is
attributed to a highly effi cient cooling system
based on Sony's latest technology.
Multi-Function Remote
Commander Unit
The supplied Remote Commander unit for the
VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40
is useful for both setting up the
projector during installation
and changing settings for a
presentation.
This unit has buttons for direct
input selection, so users do not
have to toggle through the
entire range of inputs to select
the desired one. With the
projector ID function, each
projector in a multiple-projector
installation can be controlled
independently from a single
remote.
