*1 The projector uses a type of liquid crystal panel that typically consists of millions
of pixels. This panel is built with very high-precision technology to provide the
finest possible image. Occasionally, a few pixels may remain turned on (bright)
or turned off (dark). Please note that this is an intrinsic characteristic of the
manufacturing technology that affects all products using LCD technology.
*2 The projector uses a high-voltage mercury lamp that contains high internal
pressure. This lamp may break, emitting a large sound, or fail to illuminate, due
to impact or extended use. The length of time that it takes for the lamp to break
or fail to illuminate varies greatly depending on individual lamp characteristics
and usage conditions.
*3 Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with
ISO 21118 international standards.
*4 In dynamic mode, with dynamic iris on.
*5 In cinema 1 mode, with dynamic iris on.
*6 Shift range is limited during simultaneous horizontal and vertical shifting.
*7 Effective in Rec. 709 picture mode.
*8 CEC is an abbreviation for Consumer Electronics Control. Operation may not be
possible with some connected equipment or settings.
*9 Lens and legs not included.
*10 Average value. May differ depending on models.
*11 Operation range differs depending on environments.
