sold in 2005, and the market is expected to keep growing by as much
as 20% every year to reach sales as high as 7.28 million units in

| 1. |
Ultra-short focus lens capable of screen projection from
a world shortest projection distance*1
|
| Large-screen projection is possible from a short projection
distance. A delightful presentation environment can be created anywhere.
With its ultra-short focus lens capable of an 80-inch projection
from just 103cm distance, SANYO has made a portable model with the
shortest projection distance ever.
In a classroom, this projector can be placed on the teacher’s
podium, whereas it previously would have to be placed between students’
desks. Large-screen projection is easily done even in a small meeting
room. This projector makes classes and meetings possible where people
can maintain their concentration without being disturbed by the
projector.
This projector offers a variety of uses, for example its rear-projection
function and ability to hang the projector from a ceiling etc.
|
| 2. |
Small space for setup, enables effective utilization of
free-space
|
| Rather than a projector dominating the center of a meeting
room, with its ultra-short focus lens, this projector can be placed
on the edge of a table. |
| 3. |
Security functions provide reassurance |
SANYO’s original “highly-sensitive vibration
detection alarm” is incorporated-a world first*3. A vibration
detection alarm is incorporated, which is very unique to a projector.
This alarm ensures the safety of a projector permanently fixed in
a place. By keeping the alarm on, electronic alarm sounds go off when
the projector vibrates. Alarm sound volume, sensitivity, and alarm
operating time can be adjusted in accordance with the setup condition.
