The black, sleekly-styled VP-15S1 projector features the die-cast aluminum chassis of Marantz’
renowned VP-11/12 series projectors, coupled with the latest in custom fully sealed 13 element all-
glass optics from Konica-Minolta. This ensures that not only will the picture be razor sharp and evenly
illuminated, but the colors will be accurate, pure and fully saturated for breathtaking realism.
Designed for installation ease and compatibility with virtually all types of components and
home entertainment systems, the VP-15S1 provides HDMI, HD component video, S-video,
composite video and analog RGB connections. It has a vertical lens shift which allows for the
projector to reside at locations well above the top of the screen, which makes for extremely
easy integration into even the most difficult to match decors.
Adding to its custom installation flexibility, the VP-15S1 features a comprehensive onscreen menu
system that enables easy setup, yet provides extensive calibration facilities including a wide range of
color temperature and gamma adjustments. For integrated operation in a custom installation, the
projector includes remote in/out connections, RS-232C serial control ports and two DC trigger
connections that can trigger two different operations. This allows the projector to reconfigure a dual-
aspect ratio projection screen whenever the aspect ratio of the program source changes from 16:9 to
4:3. There is also a vertical stretch mode for videophiles who wish to view on a 2.35:1 screen. The
projector can also work in conjunction with the DC Triggers to activate one of Marantz’ motorized
anamorphic lens options.
The Marantz VP-15S1 video projector, which joins Marantz’ other True View projectors
(VP8600 and VP-11S1) will be available in early September
2007.
