The FDP-DLPHD20 incorporates patented Faroudja technology for deinterlacing, color and detail processing, including DCDi technology. The result is that all sources are converted to very clean video signals full of detail and color while free of typical artifacts such as stairstepping and motion breakup.
Using the very latest in DLP™ technology, this projector has been designed specifically for high quality “Home Cinema” applications.
Sophisticated digital processing and a wide choice of inputs enable the connection of a variety of sources such as DVD players, analogue and digital VCRs, analogue and digital sa­tellite receivers and personal computers etc. The long throw zoom lens allows the position of the projector to be located behind the viewer, thus reproducing a cinema-like installation
(Fig. 2)
.
A sophisticated proprietary optical system, coupled with a hight performance zoom lens ensures hight contrast images, superior uniformity and edge-to-edge definition.
A new 6-segment colour wheel dramatically reduces the so called “rainbow effect” and gives a better contrast, better colorimetry and a lower black level to the image.
The new HD2+ DMD™ chip ensures, on top of the high definition resolution (1280 x 720 pixels), an increased contrast ratio of > 2800:1 thus delivering on the screen an even more realistic image.
The low-noise ventilation system – with variable speed fans – ensures appropriate cooling and maximizes projector reliability.
To fully appreciate your new projector we recommend the use of a good quality screen and surround-sound system. Contact your nearest authorized Faroudja dealer for further details.
Faroudja carries out comprehensive functional testing in order to guarantee the maximum product quality. For this reason, when you start using the product lamp operating hours may already be at between 30 and 60.
In addition to the regular tests, the Quality Control department performs additional statistical tests at the time of shipment. In this case the packing may show signs of having been opened, and the accumulated lamp operating hours may be slightly higher than the hours associ­ated with the standard tests.

For rear projection the screen must be translucent. For front projection, we recommend the use of screens with low gain specifications (i.e. 1.3 to 2). The use of high gain screens should be avoided due to their limited viewing angle,
which is undesirable for a large audience.

6 CONNECTIONS
To obtain the best performance from your projector, we recommend the use of good quality video cables to the various signal sources (75 ohm Impedance). Poor quality cables will cause inferior picture performance.
For optimum connectivity we recommend you follow these simple steps:
- With exception of coaxial RCA/Phono type connectors, always double-check that the plug is inserted the correct way round to avoid damaging the plugs or the sockets on the projector

This menu features adjustments relating to picture position, aspect ratio, etc.
ASPECT
This adjustment allows you to change the dimensions and aspect ratio (relationship between width and height) of the displayed image. There are five preset aspects available and three personalised aspects (with user-settable parameters). You can select a different aspect for each source: the selected aspect ratio will be automatically called the next time the rela­tive source is called. You can also select the required aspect ratio by repeatedly pressing the key, or by pressing and a numerical key (1...8). The following aspects are available.
NORMAL

SCREEN CONTROL For each aspect chosen, the SCREEN CONTROL command allows you to reframe the screen to a variety of aspect ratios and screen size, using an appropriate screen-masking inter­face connected to the 12 V output socket (please refer to the screen manufacture's manual)
COLOR TEMPERATURE
Changes the colour balance of the image. Colours can be adjusted towards the red end of the spectrum (low colour temperature values - expressed in degrees Kelvin) or the blue end (high values). Colour temperature can be selected with three preset values: HIGH
(corresponding to approx. 9000 degrees Kelvin), (approx. 8000 degrees Kelvin), Kelvin) and one separate adjustments for In the personale color adjustment for all three colors it is possible to set an Offset value and Gain. The Offset adjustments have an impact of the low IRE values, while the Gain adjustments impact of the higher IRE values. Generally, the images, These adjustments are reserved for expert users since there is a risk of obtaining results that impair projected image quality.
