Installation Flexibility and Easy Maintenance
Power Zoom/Focus/Picture Shift (Horizontal and Vertical)
The Zoom, Focus, and Horizontal and Vertical Picture Shift functions available with the projectors‘ supplied power-operated lens and optional lenses*4 can be controlled both from the projector control panel and the supplied Remote CommanderTM unit. Images can be easily adjusted to the desired settings both during installation and when the projector is in use.
*4 Not available with the optional VPLL-1008 fixed-type lens.
Centered Lens Design
The centered lens provides symmetry for a balanced installation of the VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors, and makes setup very simple.
Flexible Orientation
The VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors can be tilted 90 degrees upwards or downwards. This flexibility allows the projectors to be used in several different ways, including in a rear projection system.
Rear Projection System
Twin Stacking Capability
When applications require double the light output, the VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors can be twin- stacked*5. Pictures from the two projectors are then matched using the Picture Shift function on each unit.
*5 The optional VPLL-1008 lens cannot be used when twin stacking.
Direct Power On
Activating this function allows you to skip standby mode to power on the VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors immediately. Direct Power On is ideal for large-scale facilities such as museums, auditoriums, and conference halls, with images ready for projection as soon as the circuit-breaker on the switchboard is turned on.
Variety of Optional Lenses
The VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors are each supplied with a power lens as standard for most general applications. If a specific application requires a special lens, the VPL-FE40L and VPL-FX40L are available. The lens is not included with these projectors, so any of three optional lens types can be selected. This flexibility allows the VPL-FE40L and VPL-FX40L to be used for a number of applications – from long-distance projection in large auditoriums to short-distance rear-projection applications.

Easy Lamp Replacement and Filter Cleaning
When it‘s time to replace the lamp in the VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors, a timely message appears clearly on the screen. The lamp is accessible from the side of the projector and the filters from the front, so lamp replacement and filter cleaning can be performed without uninstalling the projector.
