The Sanyo PLV-Z5 boasts an impressive 10000:1 contrast ratio and 1100 Lumens of light, which is enough to provide a brilliant image on a typical home theater screen under controlled lighting conditions. Combine that with true 16:9 panels, HDTV compatibility and superb video performance and it is easy to see why PLV-Z5 is one of the hottest projectors on the market!

The PLV-Z5 accepts all standard TV and HDTV formats including 480i, 480p, 575i, 575p, 720p, 1035i, 1080i, 1080p/50, 1080p/60 restores anamorphic recordings to their proper aspect ratio, and is compatible with all of the world's video systems including NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N and SECAM. 10,000:1 contrast ratio is made possible through the use of an automatic iris for the lens and another for the lamp. Other important features include 12-bit digital image processing, 3D color management, proprietary digital progressive scanning with motion detection algorithm and digital signal processing to improve image edge detail. A super-quiet (22 dBA in Eco mode) fan lets you listen to the movie . . . not the projector.

The PLV-Z5 offers (2) 3-RCA Component Video input (Y, Cb/Cr, Pb/Pr), (1) Composite Video input, (1) S-Video input, and (2) HDMI digital video inputs.

The lens shift feature - sometimes called optical keystone correction - allows the projector to be placed anywhere within its offset range without distorting the image. Unlike digital keystone correction, which does the same thing electronically, the manual lens shift feature leaves no digital artifacts.
