Movies 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 hook-ups. You don’t even have to dedicate a

“media room” because your Cineza Projector is portable.

Digital satellite broadcasts, DVD movies, and next-generation video

games are today’s most exciting entertainment experiences — but

unless you experience them with Sony Cineza, you’re missing half 

the entertainment. Your Cineza Projector allows you to create 

giant-screen high-resolution images ranging from 40 to 150 inches 

(viewable area, measured diagonally). You’ll see brilliant images

with spectacular colour 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-colour or “dot noise” distortion.

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

letterboxed 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.

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 centre. You can also use an optional Sony projector stand 

that lets you angle your projector, then lock in vertical and 

horizontal adjustments.

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. Even better, you can

use Sony’s optional IFU-SH1 Signal Interface Unit to link all your

components in a single simple system — with single-cable hookup 

to your Cineza Projector. That way, you can easily pull your projector

and carry it to a child’s room for birthday-party video games, a 

bedroom for late-night movies, or even over to a friend’s house to

watch the big game with a big audience.

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 with a Sony Digital Mavica

®

camera or Cyber-shot™ camera,

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

friends. You can also use Memory Stick media for exchanging business

presentations, computer files, and data from other Sony products, so

your Cineza Projector experience can keep on growing as you move into

the digital future.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

You can also use Memory Stick
media for exchanging business
presentations, computer files
and data from other Sony
products, so your Cineza
Projector experience can keep

on growing as you move into the digital future.

Thanks to its SideShot™ capability
the Cineza VPL-HS1 can be positioned
up to 2.3 m away from the side of the
screen, giving you great set-up 
flexibility and freeing up the middle of your room for 
a better viewing position for you and your audience.
