QuestionHow can I connect this Sony VPL 1080p SXRD projector with a sound bar? I tried many different sound bar but cannot connect to it. The advisor at Best Buy told me thet the projector doesn't have a hole for sound, so how can this projector give sound?
Asked 8 years ago by Tony.
- Answer It doesn't. You connect through a receiver. You can use optical out from your source to your sound bar . They make ian expensive HDMI switches if you have multiple output devices which also have optical out and or coax digital out if your sound bar accepts.

Asked 8 years ago by Sean.
- Answer I ordered a new OEM lamp online and it was $275. It took a long time to arrive so I bought a cheap one elsewhere for about $60. You can definitely tell the difference in brightness though.

QuestionCan I use a 110" screen if my projector lens is 10' from sceen ceiling mounted? My current epson only allows me to stretch to just over 100". Also do not want to sacrifice picture quality.
Asked 8 years ago by JKZ.
- Answer The previous answer to this question refers to website: http://www.projectorcentral.com/Sony-VPL-HW45ES-projection-calculator.htm I believe that the previous answer is not completely correct. The throw range for a 110" (diagonally) screen is listed as 10'10" to 17'3". I believe that you can adjust the zoom lens on the projector to fit on a 110" screen as long as the projector is within those throw range dimensions.

QuestionDoes this unit come with ceiling support and brackets
Asked 8 years ago by Jonathan.
- Answer No, it does not. You must purchase that separately or do as I did and ask for a free $229.00 Sanus ceiling mount if you buy it from Best Buy. It is a great projector!

QuestionHow well can this projector be tuned to the projector screen? I currently have a screen with a 3 to 4" border so there is a margin or error but would like to get a screen with a 1/2" border. Would it be difficult to get this that accurate?
Asked 8 years ago by JDKM.
- Answer I have an 100inch Edgefree screen and it depends on the feed if your watching TV channels. I have Direct TV and watch a lot of NETFLIX etc, and Youtube. So when changing channles it may fluctuate to about a 1/8 off screen to inside the border. It just varies. Once you start watching you don't realize it unless your just staring at it to pay attention to it. I'm told if you have a screen that has a border it becomes less obvious. I wouldn't worry to much about it as its still a great experience!
