EXPERIENCE TOMORROW'S HOME THEATER TODAY: HDTV AND TRUE 16:9 FORMAT MAKE IT A REALITY With its 16:9 format, the PLV-Z3 produces as authentic a movie theater feeling as you could expect from a good home theater projector. The HDTV panel with a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels marks a major advance. Enjoy tomorrow's technology today: movies and TV in breathtaking, state-of-the-art HDTV quality. TOPAZreal – A FUTURE-ORIENTED TECHNOLOGY setting new standards With its perfectly coordinated motorized iris and automatic lamp control, the PLV-Z3 ensures that brightness is adjusted to match the current image content. As a result, the PLV-Z3 always renders images with optimal contrast. In addition to this list of features, 10-bit true image processing has been used in this category of projector for the first time ever. Compared with the 8-bit technology that has been used to date, this offers four times more grayscales (1,024 instead of 256) and can display more than one billion colors compared with the 16.6 million previously used. In practice, this means that the projector can display more finely detailed images and a significantly higher color depth thanks to the display of a considerably greater number of intermediary colors and shades. BACKLIT I/R REMOTE CONTROL The backlit infrared remote control makes it easy to control the projector even in dim or no light situations.

LARGE MOVIE THEATER FEEL thanks to the WIDE-ANGLE ZOOM LENS Even home theater fans who don't have much space need not miss out on the large theater experience. The integrated wide-angle zoom lens in the PLV-Z3 makes it possible to project large-format images even at short distances. For example, you can project an image with a width of 146 cm from a distance of just 2 meters. A TRUE GIANT when it comes to CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS Another feature that is also unusual in this price range is the high contrast ratio of 2,000 : 1* – with a brightness level of 800 ANSI lumens. The most effective images are thus projected as realistically and vividly as they should be: The endless realms of space are deep black and not just gray and night scenes impress with their unbelievable depth. THE QUIETEST LCD PROJECTOR OF ALL... The good sound quality of the PLV-Z3 means that you almost don't hear the projector at all. With an operating noise level of just 23 dB (Eco), it is the quietest projector in its range. This means that you can concentrate fully on the stunning sound effects in your favorite films.
