The Sony VPH-D50HTU is the first professional projector developed specifically for Home Theater applications and is the first in our HomeTheater family line up. The VPH-D50HTU is loaded with NEW attractive consumer friendly features such as Pre-Installed Line Doubler and Direct Video Memory Selection. This unit has a unique white/gray cabinet color design that will blend beautifully in any home theater setting. And most of all, this projector has an extremely competitive price tag, which we feel makes this the best projector in its class.

Memory For Picture Control Data Recall
The projector has 42 memory blocks (50 in total) that can be assigned to an input signal, so that the best possible registration and picture control data for each input signal can be memorized. This greatly reduces setup time.Better Registration System
Two registration adjustments, Key balance and Pin balance, have been added for better registration control. When completed prior to zone adjustments, these minimize any necessary zone adjustments.

Quick and Easy Setup Optical alignment of the projector does not require disassembly of this projector. Simply open the upper panel cover and adjust the lens angle by rotating the horizontal and vertical screws with the supplied adjustment plate.

Increased Brightness & Increased Bandwidth The VPH-D50HTU incorporates 7" CRTs that offer brightness of 160 ANSI lumens and bandwidth of 75 MHz. The benefits of increased bandwidth allow for a RGB resolution of (SXGA) 1280 x 1024 and a wider frequency response.

Universal Air Coupling Enables the projectors screen size flexibility, to reproduce images ranging from 60 to 250 inches. Fine adjustments can be performed quickly and easily with the VPH-D50HTU. The CRT and lens angle can be independently changed horizontally and vertically while observing the reproduced image.

Horizontal Scanning Frequency The new CRT accepts a horizontal scanning frequency of 64kHz. This expands video applications to include quadruplers, as well as increasing the acceptable input frequency.

Standard Inputs In addition to the composite video and Y/C video inputs, the VPH-D50HTU can accept both HDTV (Y/PB/PR or RGB) signal and Component (R-Y(CR)/Y/R-B(CB)) signal at the same time, without any optional IFB board.

Picture Orbit Function A Picture Orbiting function prevents CRT burn, which is an inherent problem with CRTs. When a still image is projected for a prolonged period of time, the image can burn into the CRT. In order to decrease burn-in, the system rotates the image at an indistinguishable speed and range.

7 On-Screen Languages For a broader user range. Languages used for the on-screen display can be selected among English, Japanese, Chinese, German, French, Italian and Spanish, based on the users preference.

Video Memory Function Up to 10 control setting recalls for each signal input, 6 factory presets, and picture control settings can be adjusted and memorized according to viewer preference. Up to ten different memory settings are available for easy recall. Picture control settings include functions such as contrast, hue, and brightness. All Video Memory inputs can be changed.

Multi Screen Brightness Uniformity When a number of projectors are simultaneously used for a multi-screen display, a cascade or daisy chain connection of the ABL terminal on each projector is possible. Once the ABL activates on a projector, the others will automatically follow, maintaining uniform brightness on the entire screen.

RS-422A Interface Computer Control The RS-422A remote interface enables a computer to control the projector operation, allowing for system expansion.

Index Function Control individual PJs in multi-unit applications. A "built-in" index function allows an index number to be assigned to each projector in a multi-unit application.

Conserve Energy When there is no signal input for more than 10 minutes, the projector will automatically enter into the POWER SAVE MODE, and the projection image will become muted. As soon as a signal is fed to the projector or any of the control keys are pressed, the projector will resume operation.
