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.

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. |

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. |

* 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. |
