This projector suits buyers who want native 4K image quality with laser longevity in a compact chassis that is 30% smaller and 35% lighter than the previous Sony model. The manual lens offers a 1.38 to 2.21:1 throw ratio for flexible placement. It is not for viewers who need motorised lens shift, zoom or focus adjustments. It is not for installations that require lens throw ratios outside the 1.38 to 2.21:1 range.

1.38 to 2.21:1 Manual Throw Ratio

The manual lens provides a throw ratio of 1.38 to 2.21:1, which determines the distance needed for a given image width. Buyers must verify that their room depth and screen size fall within this range before purchasing. The projector includes two HDMI inputs, an RJ45 network port and RS-232 control. It operates on 100 to 240 VAC at 50 or 60 Hz with 295 W maximum power consumption.
