projector with a white board. A Short Throw distance of 75cm(XGA)/79cm(WXGA)  
for an 80” screen is useful for limited space in a classroom. The teacher can be 
free from the projector’s glare and able to easily teach their students. By using this  
projector with an interactive white board the initial costs can be reduced.
This projector has a long-lasting lamp of 10,000 hours. The Unique lamp dimming 
function by Sony reduces the lamp power usage and lamp power consumption. It’s low 
TCO and usability means the user can enjoy bright images for a much longer time.

“BrightEra™”, the picture is colourful and the images are bright. And it also has 
vivid 3,200/2,800 lumen with XGA resolution. These specs are best for a classroom 
environment. It’s easier for all of the students to see with this big screen size.

image
The presenter is not distracted by the projected image, 
and it’s easier for the audience to see the projected 
image because shadow of the presenter on the 
screen is minimized.
Good TCO, Energy-efficient Design
Long-lasting Lamp
By incorporating a high-performance lamp and 
advanced lamp-control technology, these projectors 
deliver an extremely long lamp replacement time of 
10,000 hours*.
* Approximate recommended period, in low mode.
Auto Power Saving Function
•	Auto Mode (Auto Brightness Adjustment Function)
The brightness of the lamp’s output is automatically
adjusted depending on the brightness of the 
projected image, to avoid unnecessary power 
consumption.
When showing darker images that don’t require high 
brightness, lamp output decreases.
•	 Lamp Dimming Function
The VPL-S200 Series projectors are equipped with 
a lamp dimming function. After 10 seconds of a 
static signal feed, the lamp dims by approximate 
15% which is hardly noticeable. If one of these 
projectors is left powered on while not in use, after 
a set period of time it will automatically detect no 
change of signal input and will dim the lamp to as 
low as approximate 30% of original brightness to 
significantly reduce energy consumption.
•	 Blank
The VPL-S200 Series projectors can temporarily 
disable video signal output. This function can be 
easily operated with just the touch of a button on 
the supplied Remote Commander unit. In addition, 
this function allows blank image projection with low 
power consumption using lamp control technology.
