Both me and my dealer are confused by this. I need to get this straight because of throw distance restrictions I have. Can you explain this a little more from the middle of page 2 of the article? What does using an anamorphic memory setting have to do with changing the minimum throw distance?

"Sony specifies the throw distance for the VPL-VW1000ES as 1.27 to 2.73; this is said to be reduced to 1.68 to 2.73 if you use the lensless anamorphic memory setting."

Sony sent us a note to clarify and explain this. The company's Rob McDonough responds:

Picture Position Lens memory uses stored lens settings to quickly switch aspects and image sizes, such as between 16:9 and 2.35:1 sources. When calculating Throw Distances, if zoom is going to be used to make these image size changes, there must be sufficient zoom range left to work with. 16:9 images and throw distances must be able to zoom larger for 2.35:1, and 2.35:1 images and throw distances must be able to zoom smaller for 16:9. Thus, there needs to be an extra throw distance limit imposed to keep sufficient zoom range held in reserve.

For 16:9 screen data, the limit must reduce the TD range at the short end, and for 2.35:1 screen data, the limit must reduce the TD range at the long end of the zoom. The attached chart assumes use of a 2.35:1 screen, and therefore calculates sufficient reserve at the long end of the zoom.

The 1.68 limit quoted refers to 16:9 data when zooming larger to achieve 2.35:1, so it applies the limit at the short end. In practice, it usually makes more sense to calculate based on actual screen dimensions, usually the wider aspect, or larger image.

This is a LONG way down the road for the consumer market but I predict that 3D sound will be the next big thing in the industry.

You might be right; see Tom Norton's blog about a new 3D sound system here:

Personally, I expect 4k to be realized far sooner than most people currently suggest, even with the sluggish/bearish economy's dilatory effect on home media upgrades. TV's (recent at least) traditionally used 3 ~light cells (RGB) for each pixel (1920x1080 pixels); however, recent development of color filters allow for the transition to one of those light cells, effectively tripling the resolution available via tv technology already mass-produced. That means very little needs be engineered/accomplished to see 4k screens marketed at today's prices. Recording devices increasingly trend towards a more reasonable 4k price point, and the second projector is now available at 25k, down from 125k....I'm betting 3 years on the topside.

Nowadays technology is running as faster then wind. As a result electronic companies can invent some wonderful creation for us. In this post I've come to know about the Sony VPL-VW1000ES 4K SXRD Projector Settings. It is really a well invention. Thanks!!!

3D sound integrated into all home theaters, I believe is on the way. We shall see when it arrives at the right price point. Just like with anything else technology related, there will be a tipping point @ a specific price. Just look at Home Automation costs in 2013, they are definitely becoming much more competitive..Home Automation is soon to be a baseline for homes over 300k.
