Specifications subject to change without notice.
*1: Up to 220 V.
*2: The projector uses a type of liquid crystal panel that typically consists of m\
illions of pixels. This panel is built with very high-precision tech- nology to provide the finest possible image. Occasionally, a few pixels may remain turned on (bright) or turned off (dark). Ple ase note that this
is an intrinsic characteristic of the manufacturing technology that affects all products using LCD technology.
*3: 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 ta\
kes for the lamp to break or fail to illuminate varies greatly depending
on individual lamp characteristics and usage conditions.
*4: Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with ISO \
21118 international standards.
*5: In dynamic mode, with dynamic iris on. 
*6: Shift range is limited during simultaneous horizontal and vertical shift\
ing.
*7: Effective in Color 1 image mode. 
*8: Lens and legs not included. 
*9: Average value. May differ depending on models. 
*10: Operation range differs depending on environments.

Calculation of the projection distance
For a screen size different from the above, use the equation below to calculate the projection distance.
16:9
minimum L (m) = (diagonal screen size in inches) x 0.0302 - 0.04
maximum L (m) = (diagonal screen size in inches) x 0.0604 - 0.05
2.35:1
(When projecting both 2.35:1 and 16:9 images onto a 2.35:1 screen using the Lens Memory function.)minimum  L (m) = (diagonal screen size in inches) x 0.0319 - 0.04
maximum  L (m) = (diagonal screen size in inches) x 0.0482 - 0.05
NOTE: The values of L shown above vary due to characteristics of the zoo\
m lens. Images may slightly distort due to characteristics of the zoom
lens when the zoom lens is set to the minimum throw distance.
NOTE: The accuracy of calculated value by the formula shown above is ±\
5%.
