Installation Diagrams
(When using the VPL-FX52 with supplied lens)
3 LCD Technology
POWER ZOOM / FOCUS / PICTURE SHIFT
The Zoom, Focus, and Picture Shift functions of the sup-
plied power-operated lens* can be controlled both from
the projector control panel and the supplied remote con-
trol unit. Images can be quickly and easily adjusted to the
desired settings.
* Available only on the lens supplied with the VPL-FX52.
BACK-TO-FRONT TILT AND TWIN STACKING
CAPABILITY
The VPL-FX52/L can be tilted up to 90° upwards or down-
wards, giving even more installation options.
When applications require double the light output, the
VPL-FX52/L can be twin-stacked to produce an amazing
12,000 ANSI lumens. Pictures from the two projectors are
then matched using the Picture Shift function on each unit.
The optional VPLL-FM21 projection lens cannot be used when the
VPL-FX52 or VPL-FX52L are stacked.
WIDE RANGE OF INPUTS
The VPL-FX52/L projector accepts a wide variety of input
signals up to HDTV, as well as computer signals up to
UXGA. What’s more, it is also equipped with a DVI-D con-
nector that can be used to connect a digital RGB device
and supports high-precision signal connection with a
workstation or other device.
DIRECT POWER ON
This selectable function enables the projector to be turned
on and off via a wall switch or circuit breaker. This is espe-
cially useful for environments that do not have sophisticat-
ed control systems, such as auditoriums and conference
halls in museums and schools.
VARIETY OF OPTIONAL LENSES
The VPL-FX52 is supplied with a power lens as standard.
The VPL-FX52L, which is not equipped with a lens, is ideal
where a specific application requires a special lens. There
are three alternative lens types available as options,
enabling the VPL-FX52L to be installed in a wide range of
applications – from long-distance projection in large audi-
toriums to short-distance rear projection applications.
NETWORK CAPABILITY
Because the VPL-FX52 is equipped with an Ethernet inter-
face and complies with TCP/IP protocols, a number of net-
work-based functions can be performed. Using a web
browser, the projector’s current status can, for example,
be verified and simple settings can be checked and
altered. The system can even be set up to send automatic
e-mail reports for scheduled maintenance, including pro-
jected lamp life and error reports.
* Distance between the centre of the projector lens and the screen, divided by the screen width.
** Viewable area, measured diagonally.

■
The Sony VPL-FX52/L adopts a 3-LCD system using three 1.3-inch LCD
Panels, also known as high-temperature polysillicon or HTPS.
■
A 3-LCD projector divides white light emitted from the lamp into three
basic colours of Red, Green and Blue and passes each colour through its own
separate LCD (HTPS) panel producing rich, detailed quality to the final image.
■
3-LCD system light efficiency is excellent as each colour (Red, Green & Blue)
is projected onto the screen at the same time. This provides a bright image
and does not cause colour separation to the final image.
■
Images produced on a 3-LCD system are bright, create a more natural
colour and are gentle on the eyes.
