FULL HIGH-DEFINITION RESOLUTION – 1080p 
The PLV-Z3000 unleashes the full 1920 x 1080 high-definition potential 
from today’s advanced full HD sources.  This means rich, deep and 
accurate colors from SANYO’s exclusive TopazReal HD.  TopazReal HD 
brings together a team of technologies including a variable iris and lamp 
reactivity, a 14-bit digital signal processing, real-focus HD lens system, and, 
most importantly, a 3D color management system that addresses changes 
in color phase and color level to obtain perfect  color reproduction.  PLV-
Z3000 uses 120Hz super-fast Full HD panel, which can increase 
smoothness in videos due to doubled frame rate from 60 frames/second to 
120

 

frames/second using interpolation frame generation technology. The 

optimization of deep color from the color management system is supported 
via the projector’s two HDMI 1.3 inputs. 
 
LENS MAXIMIZATION OF IMAGE DETAIL 
Rated at 1200 lumens, the PLV-Z3000 is capable of an incredible      
65,000 : 1 contrast ratio for superlative black levels, even in ambient light. 
Plus it has a newly-developed, high-efficiency lens that maximizes image 
details for exceptional optical performance.  
 

ADVANCED LENS SHIFT FOR VARIOUS ROOM ENVIRONMENTS 
The PLV-Z3000 is outfitted with the industry’s most advanced lens shifting 
function. When coupled with the projector’s short throw capability and 2x 
zoom, the PLV-3000 can create a large screen image in any size room 
and from virtually any location. The lens shifting function allows wide-
range shifting up or down to three screen sizes and left to right to two 
screen sizes. The throw design of the PLV-Z3000, which is capable of 
projecting a 100-inch diagonal image from 10 to 20 feet away, makes it 
extremely suitable for small to mid-size home theaters. 

VIRTUALLY SILENT FAN DESIGN 
A 1200 lumen projector generates a tremendous amount of heat and 
requires a high quality fan to ensure proper operation. At this level of 
brightness, the fan is ‘on’ most of the time and the noise can be extremely 
loud and disruptive, especially in smaller home theaters where the 
projector and the audience are in the same vicinity. To promote greater 
enjoyment of the film and to reduce noise levels during quiet passages of 
a film, the PLV-Z3000 is equipped with the industry’s quietest fan, a large 
aperture, low noise Sirocco cooling fan that never rises above 19dB in the 
economy mode.
