❖Optical unit that very accurately projects the entire image in high quality viewing

format

•Incorporates a Minolta optical system custom-made for Marantz projectors featuring a 13-section 14-lens system that uses anomalous dispersion glass to minimize color aberration. Images come out sharply focused.

•O.R.C.A. (Optically Reproducing Color Accurately) filter that greatly improves color purity.

•New developed 7-segment color wheel that builds an ND filter into a large 98 mm 3-primary color wheel for theater projection.
