The bright PLV-Z60 is equipped with three wide 16:9 HD LCD panels that
produce a 1280 x 720 pixels (2.76 million) image. A 12-bit digital
processing IC provides video decoding, scaling and gamma curve generation
and coupled with the projector's 10000:1 contrast ratio, the PLV-Z60
delivers exceptional picture quality with deep, rich back levels and
beautifully saturated colors, even when ambient light is present.
To facilitate ease of installation and operation, the PLV-Z60 is
outfitted with SANYO's advanced lens shifting function and a 2x optical
zoom, which allows projection of a 100" image from only 9.8 to 20 feet
away. The side panel adjustments move the lens vertically and horizontally
to project a geometrically accurate and undistorted picture. Fine-tuning of
image settings including hue, gamma curve and color levels, enables
compensation for specific conditions in any environment. The Advanced Mode
provides a range of adjustments to further customize the PLV-Z60's image,
such as lens iris adjustment, black level expansion, contrast enhancement,
outlines compensation, and RGB offset. For protection of the lens, the
PLV-Z60 was equipped with a motor-operated sliding shutter that opens and
closes the shutter via the remote control.
A full compliment of input terminals is provided, including two HDMI
connections, two sets of component video inputs, along with composite and
S-video connections to ensure maximum flexibility with all types of
components. The D-Sub 15 input is provided for direct connection of a PC.
The PLV-Z60 is equipped with a redesigned internal cooling structure
that minimizes fan noise to 22dB in economy mode, promoting greater
enjoyment during quiet passages of a film or TV show. This is critical
because a 1200 lumen projector could generate a tremendous amount of heat.
At this level of brightness, the fan is 'on' most of the time and the noise
can be extremely loud and disruptive, especially in smaller home theaters
where the projector and the audience are in close proximity.
"The PLV-Z60 offers a high performance, extremely cost-effective
solution for high definition projection," states Mark Holt, Vice President
and General Manager for SANYO's Presentation Technologies Division. "The
flexibility of installation, the quite fan, and simplicity in user
adjustable operations makes the PLV-Z60 an excellent choice for setting up
a home theater."
