Movies, TV programs, games and more
Enjoy it all in high-definition on 100”+ screens
Imagine it... the latest home theatre technology bringing you hours of viewing pleasure in the comfort of your own home.
Easy to set-up and operate – the HC4000 reproduces beautiful, high-definition (HD) imagery, bringing movies
and TV programs to life with vivid, sharp colours, and adding new meaning to the word “excitement” when playing games.
Enjoy it all on a large 100”+ screen while relaxing on your living room sofa.
Finally, an affordable full-HD projector that spares nothing to ensure a new dimension in viewing pleasure.
An amazing level of beauty and excitement you need to experience with your own eyes.
A key feature of the HC4000 is the latest
Digital Light Processing (DLPTM) chip
incorporating a new digital micromirror
device (DMD) comprised of densely
embedded micromirrors.
A smaller mirror cavity diameter and
narrower gaps between the mirrors
improve the aperture ratio of
the innovative chip, and reflective light
diffusion has been greatly reduced by
improving the wiring below the mirror
section. The mirrors are controlled to tilt
repeatedly several thousand times per
second, enabling smooth, true repro-
duction of the digital source into finely
detailed images without noise or
deterioration.
A fixed iris has been adopted, providing both enhanced brightness and
contrast for images. Even in a relatively bright living room with the
curtains closed, movies, sports, high-definition broadcasts and Blu-ray
sources can be enjoyed in crystal-clear high-definition.
The built-in DDP3021 full 10-bit panel driver delivers approximately
four times the gradation of 8-bit models, providing smooth expression
of dark gradation subtleties.
A new colour processing algorithm and improvements in system-level
colour signal picture quality enable accurate reproduction of many
mid-range colours in video and natural scenery.
The HC4000 is equipped with a six-segment colour wheel capable of
reproducing a standard illumination at the colour temperature of D65
(6.5 million). Signals from video sources are reproduced with more
true-to-life colours and richer gradation.
Adjust images to your colour preferences. R (red), G (green), B (blue),
C (cyan), M (magenta), and Y (yellow) can each be individually adjusted
with the built-in colour management function.
A newly developed short-throw zoom lens has been
adopted for the HC4000. The 4-cluster, 13-piece
all-glass lens provides excellent focusing performance
with 1.5x magnification of high-definition images.
Improvements in image depth and the lens aperture
make it possible for deep blacks to be expressed.
The light source is a 230W high-output lamp
capable of a long estimated lifetime of up to 5000
hours when operating in low mode*². The low-noise
fan is specially designed for cooling efficiency
taking factors such as fan and colour wheel shape
into consideration, ensuring an impressively low
25dB quietness when operating in low mode.

2-3 Pull-down
At the time of converting
24 frames per second into
60 frames per second,
when lining up the second
and third frames in sequence,
there is a surplus third
B frame, which deteriorates
movement smoothness.
24P direct output
With 24P direct output,
the 24 frames per second
is converted a full order
to a 48 frames per second.
This allows sequential
matching of two frames
at a time, thereby enabling
image reproduction with
the original smoothness.

For images such as DVD sources, the overscan ratio can be varied
between 90 and 100% in 1% intervals when HDMI or Component
connections are used.
Adjustable Overscan
The projector power switch and electric screen (roll down/retract)
control are linked, providing a convenient one-touch operation trigger.
One-touch projection
The anamorphic lens compatibility of the HC4000 widens the projection
range of cinema-scope images. Mode 1 provides extended projection,
and Mode 2 is for images other than cinema-scope, which mirror
the original with the anamorphic lens attached.
