Engineered to deliver full 1080p resolution, the
Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 6100 / 6500 UB
combines five revolutionary innovations in
one remarkable performer.
The Building Blocks of the Ensemble HD
Home Cinema
The Ensemble HD is best defined not by the sum of its parts, but by the
experience it delivers as a whole. That being said, the individual components
are pretty amazing.
A projector that redefines visual impact
Get ready to ooh and aah. The projector in the Ensemble HD Home Cinema
System is from Epson, the world leader and innovator in projecting high-
definition images.
Designed with a soft, pearl-white finish and engineered to deliver full 1080p
resolution, the award-winning Epson®PowerLite®Home Cinema 6100 / 6500 UB*
combines five revolutionary innovations in one remarkable performer. It begins
with C²Fine™3LCD technology, the core of this powerful projector, designed to
faithfully reproduce every color and scene.
Next, there’s a proprietary lamp that provides consistent light from corner to
corner, using the least amount of power, while 1080Perfect™video processing
offers full HD 1080p performance with 24fps and HDMI 1.3 compatibility.
Absolute Black™delivers impressive contrast ratio and ensures the richest,
deepest blacks. And, the innovative OptiCinema™lens delivers amazing
detail and color for spectacular results. Together, these cutting-edge
technologies, all within a single projector, present a total solution that exceeds
all expectations.

Through its innovative, integrated design,
the Ensemble HD has solved – once and
for all – the dilemma of how to seamlessly
mount speakers in your room.
Components that will make
your system soar
An amazing image has to be accompanied by a colossal screen and big,
dramatic sound, and the Ensemble HD Home Cinema System delivers.
The AV Controller
This system’s command center is a user friendly audio/video controller
complete with built-in progressive scan DVD player and AM/FM tuner.
The elegant, black-graphite unit is equipped with dual HDMI inputs and
1080p up-conversion on all inputs; ideal for connecting your essential
components including Blu-Ray or HD DVD players, High Definition
game systems and cable or satellite receivers.

An Amazing Cinema Screen with an Innovative
Atlantic Technology Speaker System
To ensure a true big-screen viewing experience, the system’s motorized
100-inch, 16:9 electric screen, with built-in left, center and right speakers,
mounts on either the ceiling or wall for maximum flexibility. The screen uses a
high-quality, durable, Somfy tubular motor ensuring that it glides quietly from
its soft white screen enclosure even after repeated use. The screen utilizes a
1.0 gain, high-quality screen fabric creating rich, vibrant, real colors and deep
black levels.

World-Renowned Atlantic Technology Speaker Design
Engineered by Atlantic Technology, the Ensemble HD’s left, center and
right channel speakers are unobtrusively integrated into the screen’s clean,
contemporary, white housing.Utilizing precise 4 ½" midrange drivers and
1" horn-loaded tweeters, the front stage speakers deliver highly articulate,
intelligible speech and on-screen action effects.To achieve pristine, consistent
sound fidelity in virtually any room, the Ensemble HD includes a proprietary,
4-position Location Equalization Control.This cutting-edge technology allows
users to adjust the sound to fit their room and ensures that listeners perceive
the dialog and action as coming from the screen- not above it!
A Cradle of Elegance and Sound
At last, the Ensemble HD has solved—once and for all—the dilemma of how to
mount surround speakers in your theater room.Surround speakers are a critically
important component in any life-like, convincing home theater.The surround
speakers convey the three-dimensional, ambient information that makes a movie
seem real: the sonar “bongs” reverberating through a submarine’s hull or the
hustle-and-bustle of a crowded city street.
The system ingeniously mounts the surround speakers in the projector housing,
firing outwards towards the sides of the room.Utilizing 4" full-range drivers, our
speakers take advantage of sound reflections from the walls and ceiling to fill
the room with rich, immersive, real sound that makes you feel like you’re part of
the action.

"...a full-fledged true home theater system for a
fraction of the cost of a custom system, and with
a fraction of the installation time."

Ensemble HD is simply the smartest
way to convert your family room,
multimedia room or basement into a
first class entertainment center.
A subwoofer with true cinematic impact
Convincing, low-frequency sound reproduction is essential to any quality
home theater audio system, and this Atlantic Technology-designed subwoofer
brings it to you. The Ensemble HD’s subwoofer includes 5.1 channels of
amplification and over 350 Watts of total system power. The subwoofer has
been painstakingly engineered with a ported design and a 10"polypropylene,
long-throw woofer, producing solid, room-shaking bass down to the mid-
20Hz region. Warp engines and exploding Death Stars will sound and feel like
they’re happening right in your room.
The location of the subwoofer in a room can greatly influence its performance.
In order to produce the highest performance in virtually every room, the
system includes proprietary “bass-smoothing”technology, creating smooth,
equal bass throughout your room and ensuring the Ensemble HD subwoofer
always sounds clean, powerful, and detailed.
Pre-Programmed Remote Control
The system includes a pre-programmed,
universal remote control. This easy to use
controller finally eliminates the need for
multiple remotes to control your various
AV components, including your VCR, high
definition DVD player or cable/satellite box.
Used to power some of the most complex,
high-end systems in the world, the remote
includes backlit hard buttons and an LCD
screen for simple operation with the lights
on or off.
All Cables, Mounting, Wire Management and
Equipment Cabinet
The system includes everything you need to install and enjoy your home
cinema including all necessary mounting brackets, cables and wire
management tracks for seamless integration into your room. It even comes
with an equipment cabinet that cleanly houses all system components with
room to spare for your favorite add-ons.

most widely used projectors in the world.Recognizing the superior quality of
LCD technology, other major companies use Epson’s LCDs in a variety of different
products, from televisions and projectors to watches and cell phones.

in high-end home theaters worldwide.Epson was among the first manufacturers
to bring 1080p front projectors to market, ushering in extraordinary picture
resolution at unprecedented pricing.Epson’s projector with built-in DVD player
helped introduce the world of home cinema to a new generation of consumers.
With every new advancement, Epson solidifies its position as a technology leader.
