Following in the legacy of other high-performance, well-featured Sanyo home theater projectors, the Sanyo PLV-Z700 home theater projector has high-end features at a competitive price. Short throw lenses, with 2x zoom, lens shift, as well as nearly silent operation in economy mode, accompany the coveted full HD (1080p native) resolution for this unit. Here is what Sanyo says about their product:

FULL HIGH-DEFINITION RESOLUTION – 1080p
Not only is it full HD (1920 x 1080), the PLV-Z700 achieves deep, rich, and very importantly, accurate color. This is automatically accomplished thanks to SANYO’s exclusive TopazReal HD Technology, a 3D color management system that addresses color phase and color level to obtain perfect color reproduction. The PLV 700’s color management system can generate a total of approximately 216 billion possible color combinations. This new color management system was designed to optimize the potential of deep color from either of the projector’s two HDMI inputs.

LENS MAXIMIZATION OF IMAGE DETAIL
Rated at 1200 lumens, the PLV-Z700 is capable of an incredible 10,000:1 contrast ratio for superlative black levels, even in ambient light. Plus it has a newly-developed, high-efficiency lens that maximizes image details for exceptional optical performance.

ADVANCED LENS SHIFT FOR VARIOUS ROOM ENVIRONMENTS
The PLV-Z7000 is outfitted with the industry’s most advanced lens shifting function. When coupled with the projector’s short throw capability and 2x zoom, the PLV-700 can create a large screen image in any size room and from virtually any location. The lens shifting function allows wide-range shifting up or down to three screen sizes and left to right to two screen sizes. The throw design of the PLV-Z700, which is capable of projecting a 100-inch diagonal image from 10 to 20 feet away, makes it extremely suitable for small to mid-size home theaters.

VIRTUALLY SILENT FAN DESIGN
A 1200 lumen projector generates a tremendous amount of heat and requires a high quality fan to ensure proper operation. 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 the same vicinity. To promote greater enjoyment of the film and to reduce noise levels during quiet passages of a film, the PLV-Z700 is equipped with the industry’s quietest fan, a large aperture, low noise Sirocco cooling fan that never rises above 21dB in the economy mode.

Upgrade your projection system from "letterbox" wide screen imaging to a high performance 2.35:1 cinema.
Panamorph UH480 anamorphic add-on lens.

There are three steps to creating a constant height 2.35:1 home theatre system. (Theatre systems where the height of the image is maintained when switching between the 16:9 aspect ratio of high def TV and the 2.35:1 aspect ratio of movies.) Gets rid of the grey bars!

The first step is to stretch the 2.35:1 image vertically to fully utilize the entire pixel structure of a 16:9 DLP chip. Most 1080P projectors support the vertical stretch feature that is required of projectors that are used in constant height home theatre systems, If you are not sure that it supports this mode, just ask us!

The second step is to deploy a 1.33 anamorphic lens to restore the image to a full 2.35:1 aspect ratio with 20% higher resolution and image brightness. This is the function of the Panamorh UH480 Lens.

The third step is to make sure that you have a 2.35:1 aspect ratio masking screen, We have several manufactures to chose from, many offering both Fixed Wall and Electric screen options.

If you have questions on how to create a 2.35 constant height theatre system, give us a call toll-free at 1-866-764-4580. You can find additional information about 2.35:1 in our FAQ Area
