So NOT a Sanyo projector! I think the engine and innards are made by someone else. It doesn't have the standard 8 pin RS232/ADB/Mouse port as stated in the spec sheet, but rather a 6-pin mini-din RS232 only port. The protocols are definitely NOT Sanyo...gone are the simple codes like "C00" and "C43" but hello Epson-style multibyte hex control strings. You cannot send commands like Freeze and Unfreeze or Show and No-Show....you just have a single toggle-action string and no way of reading back the status. If you plan on computer controlling this projector or using it with an AMX or Crestron control system...forget it!!
Shame really, because otherwise a very nice projector. Had I known when I bought ten of these for an installation project that they didn't conform to the proper RS232 connector/protocol (despite the data sheet stating otherwise) and menu options of a 'proper' Sanyo I would have bought a different model.

| Problems |
| Not a real Sanyo projector! RS232 commands very hard to program and not enough information. No PS/2 mouse or Apple ADB connectivity. Non-standard (non Sanyo!) menu. Cannot turn off blue screen with no input - I need black! Also, very hot lamp cooling exhaust right by the connector panel...can melt PVC cables after 20 minutes unless you route them very carefully. |
