Please check with your nearest authorized dealer. If anything is missing or appears damaged, contact your dealer immediately. 7 Features · Newly developed DMDTM chip provides significantly improved optical efficiency and excellent contrast ratio. · Newly developed LVDS (Low voltage differential signal) chip eliminates color breaking phenomena common with previous generation DLPTM projectors. · The 250W high-output lamp gives high color purity and brightness. Natural images are possible with excellent color reproduction and powerful expression capabilities. · Latest image quality circuitry gives you vivid images. · New I/P conversion algorithm enhances motion. · Extensive improvements in jagged edges and slanted lines in moving images. · New Edge Up-Scaling. · As a result of reducing jagged edges and flickering when up-scaling edges of slanted lines, even signals not reaching a panel resolution of 480I/P can be projected by converting them to 1280 × 720 resolution images. · New Film mode. · 3:2 pull-down enhancement for 480I, 576I and HDTV 1080I signals. · Use of a DVI/HDCP terminal enables all processes from input to signal processing and projecting to be performed digitally. All-digital projection does not suffer the data loss of analog conversion. Home theaters using HTPC are supported. Introduction 8 Using the Remote Control Available Range of the Remote Control The remote control can be used to control the projector within the ranges shown in the illustration. 23'(7 m) 30° Note · The signal from the remote control can be reflected by the screen. You can control the projector when it is behind you by bouncing the signal off the screen. 45° 30° When using the remote control: I n tr o d u c ti o n 45° 23'(7 m) 30° · Do not drop it, or expose it to moisture or high temperature. · The remote control may not function correctly under fluorescent lamps.
