Projector features 
This projector is used to project various computer signals as well as 
NTSC/PAL/SECAM video signals onto a screen. It requires just a little space for 
installation and displays a large image from a short distance. 
O High Brightness 
Newly developed 165W UHB (Ultra High Brightness) lamp gives you a higher 
brightness image on a screen. The image can be still kept as bright and clean 
enough for use in bright rooms. 
O Low Noise 
WHISPER mode is equipped for reducing acoustic noise for quieter operation. 
It is perfect for use in low luminance rooms where low noise is more important 
than brightness. 
O Compact Body 
Even with its many features, this projector is extremely compact and slim, 
which gives you more flexibility and usability to use it where you want. 
 
About contents of package
