Images Filled with Emotion

The ultimate prerequisite for a home-use cinema projector is the ability to produce images that evoke feelings in the people who view them. The full-HD panels in Sanyo's Z2000 projector achieve this with high-definition images that contain intricate details, lifelike depth, rich gradation and, most importantly, delicate emotion.
All of these remarkable elements, which were previously found only on the large screens of a movie theater, can now be enjoyed at home with the new Z Series from Sanyo.
 
 
  TopazReal-HD is an original video solution developed by SANYO to unleash the full image potential from today's advanced full-HD sources. This technology helps convey the ambience in a scene with such exceptional fidelity, you'll feel as if you've entered another reality.
TopazReal-HD goes beyond conventional technology to reproduce images that are vibrantly alive and rich in emotion.
 
 
 

  The gentle curvature of each individual eyelash over a shining pupil...Only full-HD can render images with such exquisite detail and clarity.
SANYO's inorganic orientation LCD panel features the "Normally Black System," which reproduces deep, crisp blacks that give images greater depth and an enhanced three-dimensional effect.
You enjoy pictures that are deep, crisp and remarkably true to life.
Which are beyond conventional technology to reproduce images that are vibrantly alive and rich in emotion.
 
 

 
 
  Burgundy, vermilion, scarlet, crimson, rose there are countless shades of red.
That's why the ability to express details is essential to delivering a truly high-quality image. In the Z2000 series, 12-bit processing is used at each imaging stage and 14-bit processing is used for gamma correction.
This advanced circuitry achieves smooth gradation for beautiful image expression.

Note: Up to 1,070 million colors can be displayed at the same time (bus width: 10 bits)
 
 
 
 
 

  The Z2000 is equipped with two functions that together analyze and adjust the light intensity for each scene in real time, helping ensure crisper, more dynamic images.
The Variable Iris System opens and closes the aperture in front of the lens.
The Lamp React Function varies the brightness of the lamp itself.
The Z2000 also uses a newly evolved video processing algorithm that not only processes the brightness signal, but also uses the
 
 
 

  The Z2000 is adaptable to Deep Color, a technology designed to express color deeper than the 24-bit level and to maximize the capability of HDMI Ver. 1.3a.
This technology can deliver a sensational viewing experience from next-generation DVDs and other advanced video sources.

. High-color-purity optical system: For extremely pure, untainted colors
. Progressive circuitry: Minimizes flicker for easy-on-the-eyes viewing
. Super-fine AUCC: Significantly reduces color and brightness irregularities.

Note: Simulated photos, designed for easy understanding of the effects described.
 

 
   
   

 
 
  In developing the Z2000, SANYO paid utmost attention to lens performance.
The result is a new high-resolution lens that delivers every piece of information embedded in full-HD video. Thanks to an extra-low-dispersion (ED) lens and aspherical lens elements, this advanced lens system dramatically reduces chromatic aberration to ensure optimal display of full-HD images.
The lens also provides sharp focusing all the way to the image edges.
 
 
 
   

  Designed for the most avid movie fans, this mode lets you finely adjust each picture setting yourself, rather than using a preset mode.
There's a huge number of adjustment combinations possible, so you can get the picture exactly the way you want it.
And you can store up to seven combinations of settings in memory for recall at a later time.
 
 
 

  This function lets you pause the picture and adjust the color tone of a selected part of the image.
For example, you can make an actor's skin appear a little brighter.
Using the level, hue and gamma axes, it's easy to fine-tune the picture.
You can register up to eight adjustment results for later use.
 
 
 
 
  The Z2000 offers seven preset modes, each of which provides the optimal color balance for a specific viewing environment and video source.
Just select the appropriate mode, and the Z2000 is ready to deliver clear, detailed images that are rich in beauty and emotion.

Note: Simulated photos, designed for easy understanding of the effects described.
 
 
 
Sharp, crisp picture that evokes the ambience and mood of a movie theater   Dynamic three-dimensional picture with enhanced depth; ideal for action and sci-fi movies
 
 
Warm-toned picture with subdued gradation and coloring; intended for European and artistic films   Faithful reproduction of images from content such as travel programs and nature-related movies
 
 
Best for enjoying TV programs with high brightness, such as sports events, dramas and live broadcasts.   Crisp, bright picture that's easy to see even in a bright room
 
   
Clear, sharp, high-contrast picture that's suitable for video games  
 

 
   
   

 
 
  The lens shift function has a wide adjustment range-three screens in the vertical direction (that is, it can shift the picture by an amount of the screen height both up and down from the middle position), and two screens horizontally (or 50% of the screen width to both the left and the right).
Add the broad focal distance range provided by the large-diameter optical 2x zoom lens, and the Z2000 boasts the industry's largest*1 installation range.
The large full-horizontal/full-vertical shift amount*2 offers especially high installation flexibility.
With the Z2000, the "install it anywhere" ideal is a big step closer to reality.
 

   
 
  *1 For a full-HD (1920 x 1080 pixel) projector, as of August 24, 2007 (SANYO survey)
*2 The total shift amount vertically (or horizontally) when the lens is shifted all the way horizontally (or vertically)
 

  A noisy cooling fan can take a lot of the magic out of a great movie. In the Z2000, we increased the capacity of the cooling fan and improved the layout, reducing operating noise to a whisper-quiet 19 dBA.


* When the lamp mode is set to Theater Black
 
     
   

  A:The lamp can be accessed from the back of projector, so you can replace one without taking the projector down from the ceiling.

B:In the bottom of the projector there's a special maintenance hole a SANYO original that you can use to remove any dust adhering to the LCD panel. Just use the blower provided.

C:There's also a large, high-density pleated electrostatic air filter at the cooling air inlet to keep dust out.
 
     
   
 
  The horizontal and vertical lens shift function, which can be adjusted using two small wheels on the side of the projector, allows you to adjust the screen projection easily, without having to move the actual body of the projector.
This shift function does not cause any keystone (trapezoidal) distortion in the image, so even a first-time user will find it easy to use. There's also a lock mechanism provided. Once you get the projection the way you want it, you can lock the system in place.
 
     
   

  The shutter can be opened or closed automatically by remote control.
This means you will no longer have to manually attach or remove the lens cap when the projector is mounted on the ceiling or in a high location that is difficult to reach.
The shutter also protects the lens from dust.
 
     
   

  GUI menu: The menu is very easy to use. Simply make a selection using one of the arrow keys on the remote control, and press OK. There's also an operation guide at the menu bottom.
Rename function: For example, if you connect a DVD player to the HDMI 1 terminal, you can set the Z2000 to display "DVD" when the HDMI 1 terminal is selected as the input source.
You can give any name you want to each of the original video modes you have stored.
