Calculate Throw Distance
From Sanyo — Light, shadow, and brightness and darkness. Patterns formed by sunlight and shade... The eye-catching contrast produced by back lighting... The interplay of light and dark creates images that seem real enough to lift off the screen. In the movies we watch, the clever manipulation of highlights and shadows can create enormous emotional power. That's the kind of power you get with the Z series. Sanyo is now part of the Panasonic Group and officially discontinued its production and sales of projectors in 2012.
