Advanced Intelligent Auto Setup
When power is turned on, the VPL-MX25 and VPL-MX20
automatically initiate the following sophisticated setup
functions, making these projectors easy to operate, even for
first-time users:
• Power-operated tilt adjuster, which sets the projector to the
right level
• Built-in Auto Focus module, which focuses the projected image
• Auto Vertical Keystone Adjustment, which corrects the
vertical keystone distortion of the projected image
• Auto Input Search, which automatically finds the input signal
• Smart APA (Auto Pixel Alignment), which sizes and adjusts
the projected image for optimum picture performance
Off & Go
Once a presentation is complete, the VPL-MX25 and VPL-MX20
can be moved immediately to the next location, simply by
turning these projectors off and unplugging the AC power
cord – there’s no need to wait for the fan to stop.
Short Projection Distance
The VPL-MX25 and VPL-MX20 come equipped with a short
focal-length lens, which makes it possible to project images over
a short distance. For example, an 80-inch* image can be
projected from a distance of approximately 7.9 feet.

the VPL-MX25 and VPL-MX20 can be
