Sanyo PLV-Z3000 Reviews:
Performance Features Ease Of Use Value	In addition to 5:5 pulldown, the Z3000 also includes a new Smooth Motion system which can be activated or not at the user's option. Smooth Motion is Sanyo's name for frame interpolation. It evaluates the motion changes in two sequential frames of film or video, and generates an interim frame that results in smoother motion when the camera is panning, or when an object is moving across the screen at a moderate rate. None of the other 1080p projectors released thus far offer 5:5 pulldown, and few offer a frame interpolation system. So let's take a closer look at the Sanyo PLV-Z3000, with special attention to these important new features.
	Good color accuracy post calibration in best mode (minor yellow/green push) Rich, dynamic image in brightest mode, with extremely good picture quality, for a brightest mode Excellent shadow detail performance Black level performance better than most projectors but not quite as good as the other ultra high contrast projectors Images really pop on bright scenes, and mixed scenes with a good amount of bright areas Two HDMI 1.3 inputs, full support for 24 fps, Deep Color, etc. Creative frame interpolation for smooth fast motion, with 96/120fps frame rate Very sharp image Plenty of user savable settings Excellent remote control Excellent placement flexibility with 2:1 zoom and lens shift Audible noise is extremely quiet in low power, and quieter than average in full power mode Very good menus Excellent price/performance

Sharper, Crisper Images.
New Full-HD Panel
This new panel uses D7 processing technology to produce images in which the particles between pixels are virtually imperceptible, allowing the reproduction of extremely fine colour variations. Also the double speed drive provides smooth moving images with exceptional detail.

Smooth Images with Minimal Afterimage.
Smooth Motion Technology
With the Z3000, there's no afterimage effect with fast moving objects. Dynamic Predictive frame interpolation technology analyzes the motion and speed of objects and generates a pseudo-image between consecutive frames, so projected images move smoothly and fluidly

Industry's first 5:5 Pulldown Mode
Five frames each of the 24 frames per second used to display movies in TV broadcasts or on DVD's are projected at 120 fps. This provides extremely nuanced reproduction that faithfully expresses the ambience of the original movie.
* With a 60Hz Signal input
* Direct input of a 1080/24p or 720/24p signal results in 96-fps, 4:4 pulldown.

Jet-black colour repoduction
High-Contrast 65,000:1 New Advanced Black Optical System
A new inorganic directional panel and new optical layout team up to reduce leakage of polarized wave lengths, dramatically improving native contrast. This synergistically combines with the iris mechanism to achive outstanding 65,000:1 contrast. Black reporduction also has been greatly improved, so other colours stand out more vivdly and images are extremely lifelike.

Incredibly Dynamic Images. New Variable Iris
The new variable iris system analyzes the luminance signal every approx 1/60 of a second amd adjusts the iris opening accordingly. It also analyzes the chrominance signal and matches the compensation with image. This help achieve crisper, more vivid images.

FULL HIGH-DEFINITION RESOLUTION – 1080p
Not only is it full HD (1920 x 1080), the PLV-Z3000 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.

14-Bit Gamma and High-Quality Image Processing Circuitry 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 Z3000 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 shading.

LENS MAXIMIZATION OF IMAGE DETAIL
Rated at 1200 lumens, the PLV-Z3000 is capable of an incredible 65,000:1 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.

RealFocus Full HD Lens In developing the Z3000, 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.

ADVANCED LENS SHIFT FOR VARIOUS ROOM ENVIRONMENTS
The PLV-Z3000 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-Z3000 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-Z3000, 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-Z3000 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.

3D Color Management
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 ne-tune the picture. You can register up to eight adjustment results for later use.

Advanced Mode
Designed for the most avid movie fans, this mode lets you nely 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.

Seven One-Touch Preset Modes
The Z3000 offers seven preset modes, each of which provides the optimal color balance for a specic viewing environment and video source. Just select the appropriate mode, and the Z3000 is ready to deliver clear, detailed images that are rich in beauty and emotion.

Motor-Operated Slide Shutter 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 dicult to reach. The shutter also protects the

Lens Shift and Dial Lock 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 rst-time user will nd 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.

Multifunction Remote Control with Full Light-Up Function We carefully chose the size of the remote control and the key layout for easy, intuitive use. All keys are illuminated, so the projector is easy to operate even in the dark. And to accommodate people who like to tweak the picture adjustments all the time, the remote control has keys that let you directly select a video mode and adjust the settings.

Easy Maintenance 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 lter at the cooling air inlet to keep dust out.

Two HDMI™ Inputs
With two sets of HDMI™ ( ver 1.3b Deep Color) terminals, the Z3000 comes equipped to provide the best image quality possible from today's and tomorrow's high-end video sources.
The two terminals let you connect two HDMI-enabled devices, such as a next-generation DVD player and an HD recorder or video game machine, without reconnecting cables.
