SANYO's brand new LCD projector Z1 puts true home theater enjoyment within easy reach. The 16 : 9 wide screen viewing aspect makes what you watch more dynamic while the high-resolution and beauty of the projected images are simply stunning. The advanced technology required for this extraordinary image quality can be found in every part of this projector -- the LCD panel with 1.57 million pixel resolution, exceptionally high contrast and many more sophisticated features. Usinga short focal length lens also offers more flexible setup options and the user-friendly design keeps it all easy to operate. Also notable is the stylish design which makes the Z1 a very attractive element of the decor.
SANYO Z1 -- it's the projector that you've been waiting for.
The Z1's wide display panel fully demonstrates the best qualities that DVD software can provide and projects it over the entire large screen. The LCD panel's exceptionally high definition of 1.57 million pixels (effective pixels: 960 x 540 dots) is virtually half of the HDTV signal resolution. An integer ratio used for compressed projection reduces noise. The 3D digital color uniformity correction circuit divides the LCD panel into 825 (33 x 25) sectors. The uneven characteristic of liquid crystal light transmission is individually corrected for each sector. This process is performed precisely in three gradations of dark, normal and light for each R, G and B panel to result in a stable and uniform projection of images that are free from uneven color artifacts.

The circuit automatically detects and extracts the flesh color portion (including approximate colors) from the projection source images. Flesh color therefore appears much more natural while there is no interference with other color portions.

As this function is activated, contrast automatically adjusts to best suit the input source, improving gradations and producing pictures that are sharper as well as more solid.
Z1's high-contrast optical system delivers an extremely high 800-to-1 contrast that produces an extraordinarily sharp and vivid reproduction from the brilliant pure white of snow to the true black of total darkness.
Standard mode offers the flattest characteristics while Cinema mode is optimized for movies and Real mode for computer graphics. In addition, there are four remote controllable user-settable gamma correction preset modes to suit viewing preferences and screen conditions.

Color temperatures can be adjusted in four steps depending on program source to maximize viewing pleasure.
Part of the lamp output is dedicated to color reproduction, allowing only red, blue and green primary colors to be projected and eliminating RGB mixed light portions. You can easily see the difference with the impressively pure colors that show just what high-quality DVD software is capable of.
Two modes are provided for optimizing screen brightness to suit the input source and viewing preferences. Bright mode is recommended for conventional movie enjoyment in a living room and Theater Black mode is perfect for a home theater environment in low-light conditions.
Easy setup for instant enjoyment.

Using the vertical/horizontal lens shift function allows you to precisely adjust projection screen position as easily as turning the dial specially shaped for easy recognition and fine adjustment. The projected image stays distortion- free and without any quality degradation. While enjoying home theater entertainment in the dark or low-light conditions, the remote control function keys illuminate for convenient pre- and post-projector adjustments or fine adjustments during projection. The remote control offers one-touch selection of the input signal, image mode and screen mode, eliminating annoying menu selections.
* Often used function keys are luminous.
Convenient for fine adjustments, the 1.2x zoom/focus helps achieve optimal viewing conditions.
The projector's smooth curves and attractive design suit any interior decor. A sliding door protects the lens when the projector in not in use. The body color is a classy black that suppresses light reflections during projection.
Extremely useful when the projector is positioned so that adjustment with the vertical shift range cannot compensate, the Digital Keystone Correction is capable of up to +/-20 degrees vertical adjustment. Projection of an undistorted rectangular image at the easiest-to-see position can be enjoyed. This feature will also increase setup options.
The built-in short focal length lens allows the picture to be projected on a 100-inch screen measuring 2.2m wide and 1.2m high that can be positioned as close as 3m (approx.). This projector allows enjoying dynamic wide-screen home theater under ideal conditions regardless of the space. The Z1 is equipped with a component terminal (Y/Pb/Pr or Y/Cb/Cr), S-terminal and composite terminal to take advantage of multimedia sources. In addition, a mini D-Sub 15-pin terminal allows an analog RGB signal from a personal computer to be input.
The newly developed compact, low-noise fan makes it possible to achieve a noise level of 28dBA, the lowest in its class, because it utilizes fan rotation linear control technology. The fan speed is automatically controlled by a built-in sensor which monitors the ambient temperature. Your home theater will never be noisy.
*1 Connects to models with video output only.
* The Z1 is equipped with one input each for video and RGB. When it is desirable to connect more equipment, a commercially available AV receiver or control unit and input selector are required.
