ovies with widescreen cinematic impact. Sports

that put you on the playing field. Games so real,

you’ll feel like you’re in the action. But they’re all in your

home, in any room, on any wall. That’s the power of the

Sony Cineza

™

: the VPL-HS1 Digital Home Entertainment

LCD Projector. Powerful, affordable, and styled with a

sleek cabinet, it’s smaller than most projectors - but it

creates brilliant giant-screen images. There’s no huge

cabinet, no installation hassle, no complex hookups.

You don’t even have to dedicate a “media room”

because your Cineza Projector is portable.

SEE ALL THE EXCITEMENT YOU'VE BEEN MISSING.

Digital satellite broadcasts, DVD movies, and next-

generation video games are today’s most exciting

entertainment experiences - but unless you experience

them with the Sony Cineza Projector, you’re missing half

the entertainment. Your Cineza Projector allows you to

create giant-screen high-resolution images ranging from

⁄

to 12

⁄

feet (viewable area, measured diagonally). You’ll

see brilliant images with spectacular color that looks

natural and lifelike. Image quality is uniform from corner

to corner, thanks to 3D Gamma Correction circuitry.

And razor-sharp picture details result from a

3D Comb Filter that minimizes cross-color

or “dot noise” distortion.

PICTURE YOURSELF IN THE

WIDESCREEN FUTURE.

DVD today…HDTV tomorrow?

Whatever happens, you’ll be taking

a giant step in the right direction -

because your giant-screen Sony

Cineza Projector is capable

of projecting both 16:9

widescreen and 4:3 standard

ratio pictures. Widescreen

viewing gives you DVD and

letter boxed VCR movies

the way they were meant to be seen. And with Sony’s

DTV-ready projection technology, you’ll have input

capability for multiple signals - including today’s

composite and S-video TV signals, future DTV and

HDTV signals, ultra high-resolution XGA computer

signals, even progressive scan signals from advanced

digital components.

A NEW ANGLE ON VISUAL ENTERTAINMENT.

The Cineza Projector is designed to give everyone

the best seat in the house. In fact, it’s the first video

projector with the Side Shot

™

feature - digital

keystoning which means you’ll have horizontal as

well as vertical adjustment capability. You can place

your projector at an angle to your screen, rather than

in the middle of the room, then use your Remote

Commander

control to correct for “keystone” effect.

Your picture is magnificent -- and your audience sits

front and center. You can also use an optional Sony

projector stand that lets you angle your projector,

then lock in vertical and horizontal adjustments.

PLUG, PLAY, AND WATCH.

What do you want to do tonight? Your Cineza

Projector makes it easy. You can connect directly to

your TV, VCR, DVD player, even component TV tuner

or PlayStation

video game console. So you can

carry it to a child’s room for video games, a bed-

room for late-night movies, or even over to a

friend’s house to watch the big game with a big

audience. Or, you can use Sony’s optional IFU-HS1

Signal Interface Unit to link all your components in a

single, simple system, with single-cable hookup to

your Cineza Projector.

EXPERIENCE THE FULL POTENTIAL OF DVD DIGITAL SATELLITE TV

DIGITAL PHOTOS AND THE NEXT GENERATION OF VIDEO GAMES.

DIGITAL PHOTOS AS BIG AS LIFE.

Want to give home videos the big-screen impact

of Hollywood productions? Plug in your Sony

Handycam

camcorder, and let a Cineza Projector

bring out your star quality. And you’ll have direct

input for Memory Stick

™

media - so if you take digital still photos you

can share giant-screen still images in JPEG format with family and

friends. Your Cineza Projector experience can keep on growing as

you move into the digital future.

ULTRA-QUIET FAN.

With your Cineza Projector, a whisper-quiet
cooling fan won’t distract you from the cinematic
experience of your giant-screen picture.

VIDEO MEMORY.

You can store picture control settings in
memory for multiple home entertainment
components, including VHS tape, DVD disk,
TV programs, or computer input - then switch
quickly by remote control to the ideal setting
for whatever you’re watching.

PRESET SIGNAL INPUT DATA.

Once you input your video signals, you
can instantly select the best image
reproduction mode.

FULL-FUNCTION BACKLIT REMOTE.

With the supplied infrared RM-PJHS1 Remote
Commander unit, controlling your projector is
simple - and a backlit panel helps you see
the controls when room lights are low.

USER-FRIENDLY ON-SCREEN DISPLAY.

On-screen menus guide you through
projector setup and input selection.

MULTI-LANGUAGE MENUS.

You can choose from nine languages for
menu display: English, French, German,
Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese,
Chinese, or Korean.

STEREO SPEAKERS.

You’ll have a pair of 2W(max.) stereo speakers
for sound from components you hook up
directly, like a camcorder or video game.

EASY LAMP & FILTER EXCHANGE.

You can easily exchange both the projection
lamp and filter. On-screen messages prompt
you when it’s time to make a change.
