PROGRAMMABLE
LEARNING REMOTE
To further improve operating
ease, the Programmable
Learning Remote can be pro-
grammed to control DVD players
and video recorders connected to
the projector
3D CINEVIEW
3D CineView improves cross coloring and
virtually eliminates the “jaggies” for clearer
still images with crisp contours. It is also
usefull for text such as subtitles as char-
acters are sharper and easier to read.
This significant gain in video picture quality
makes it possible to recreate beautiful
moving images with cinema-like presence.

KEYSTONE ADJUSTMENT
Absolutely essential for portable projec-
tors, Digital Keystone Adjustment
reduces image distortion by allowing for
both horizontal and vertical adjustment
to create a more natural-looking picture
even when it is difficult to set up the unit
perfectly perpendicular with the screen.
This important feature allows you to proj-
ect at an angle without worrying about
trapezoid image distortion or zigzagging.
