High-Quality Picture
Auto Vertical Keystone Correction
Just press the direct key on top of the projector top 
to automatically correct the picture projection angle 
according to the vertical 
direction of the projector.
(Range of correction: ±12°)
Versatile Connectivity
The XV-Z15000 is equipped with two HDMI inputs in addition to various other 
video inputs, such as two component inputs, S-video inputs and composite 
inputs.
Low Fan Noise: 24 dB (Eco Mode)
Screen Size and Projection Distance
Full High-Definition 1080P Picture Reproduction Meets the 
Needs of Recent High-Quality Video Entertainment
Easy Setting
Manual Vertical and Horizontal Keystone
This function compensates for pictures projected on angles both horizontally 
(±30°)  and vertically (±40°).
Spherical Adjustment
Manual compensation can be performed on pictures projected onto spherical 
surfaces, such as at a planetarium.
Picture Rotation
If the table on which the projector is placed is slanted horizontally, the projected 
image is also slanted horizontally. The XV-Z15000 can rotate the slanted images 
to compensate for the slant of the surface on which the projector is placed (±5°)*.* Depending on the signal, not all the picture may be projected when it is rotated.
CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) Function*
•One-Touch Play: The XV-Z15000 automatically turns on when you press 
the play button on a video device connected with an HDMI cable.
•System Standby: The video device automatically turns off when you turn 
the XV-Z15000 off.* The XV-Z15000 is CEC compatible with Sharp video products.
Picture Mode
Picture mode can be selected with the direct key 
on top of the projector or with the remote control. 
Six modes can be selected: Standard, natural, 
dynamic, movie 1, movie 2, or game.
Image Shift Function
The projected images can be shifted from right to 
left or up and down with the remote control.Note: The range of image shift depends on the input signal and settings of other functions.
30,000:1 Dynamic-Contrast Image
Full HD Panel (1,920 x 1,080 pixels)
The XV-Z15000 provides Full HD high-resolution pictures with 1,920 x 1,080 
pixels and greater capability for large-screen pictures to prevent rough, grainy 
colours. And, the panel is compatible with next-generation digital broadcast 
systems.
1,600 ANSI Lumen High Brightness
Incorporating Sharp optoelectronics technology, the XV-Z15000 provides 1,600 
ANSI lumen brightness in high-brightness mode to enjoy large-screen pictures.
30,000:1 Dynamic Contrast
Employing a thoroughly developed optical engine with a DLP® chip reflective 
device, which can prevent light from coming through by controlling mirror 
angles, the XV-Z15000 enhances fine, detailed differences between the darkest 
and lightest colours and 
provides superior black 
level reproduction. Real 
blacks and clearly 
reproduced subtle 
colours provide 
impressively beautiful 
pictures.
Home Theatre Performance and Convenience
Colour Management System (C.M.S.)
Independently controls colour hue, 
chrome and brightness for the six 
RGBCMY colours (red, green, blue, 
cyan, magenta and yellow), enabling 
users to match the image quality to 
their preferences.
Convenience and Reliability
Sliding Lens Cover
The lens cover can be slid closed to protect the lens from dust and damage 
while the projector is not being used or to interrupt the projection with the 
power still on. If the lens cover is kept closed for 30 minutes, the Auto Power 
Off function automatically turns off the power for safety.
Safe Lamp Housing Structure
When the lamp is removed from the projector for replacement, the lamp door 
automatically closes, ensuring safe replacement in the event that the lamp 
breaks.
Security Bar
A reinforcing bar for the antitheft cable is 
mounted at the corner of the projector for 
theft prevention.
Filter-Free Design
When the projector is being used, the lamp door remains open, and the lamp 
heat burns off dust, so there is no need to worry about filter clogging or costs 
for filter replacement.
Front Lamp Replacement System
You can exchange the lamp easily and safely 
even when the projector is mounted on the 
ceiling or in another high location.
Sealed Optics
The optical mechanism of DLP® system projectors is sealed in its structure, 
preventing dust, dirt and smoke from entering core parts of the optics.
