Features

High luminance, high-density and high-quality pictures

A new 1.3-inch (diagonal) polysilicon LCD panel and a 280-W metal halide lamp have been adopted. In addition, a
newly-developed optical system enables the projector to produce a high luminance of 700 ANSI lumens while
providing high density and high picture quality at S-VGA (800 × 600) resolution.

Screens from 30 inches to 300 inches can be used

The projector can be positioned so as to project onto screens ranging in diagonal size from 30 inches to 300
inches. A projection method switching function (for switching between front and rear projection), a lens position
adjustment function (for light axis shifts) and an electronic zoom/focus lens allow pictures to be projected from a
variety of different positions.

Lightweight and compact, and setting-up is easy

The light and compact body weighs approximately 21.6 Ibs. (9.8 kg), and a carrying handle and a retractable lens
function are also provided, so that the projector can be transported easily. The projector can also be set up easily,
without the need for complex setting-up adjustments.

Equipped with a variety of convenient functions

A variety of functions such as the following have been provided.
A blue background is projected when no signal is being input, so that the screen is not illuminated.
Muting functions for video and audio signals and the input signal display function can be toggled on and off.
A countdown timer function is provided.
A retractable lens function is provided.
The projector automatically switches to standby mode if no signal is input for a continuous period.
The function of the POWER button on the remote control unit can be disabled.
The language of on-screen displays can be changed.
Compatible with Windows 95 Plug-And-Play (DCC1, DCC2B)
