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.

Preferably, use a screen with black, non-reflecting borders,

Furniture and other objects with reflecting surfaces, as well as
Avoid light shining directly on the screen during projection as
this will reduce contrast and black level detail on the projected
light coloured walls should be avoided, as they are likely to
interfere with the screen’s characteristics.

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
(Fig. 16)

Some sources provide the facility to choose between a progressive signal or an interlaced signal. Although in general a
progressive signal is higher quality than an interlaced signal, it
is often preferable to perform the deinterlacing operation on
the projector rather than on the source because the projector

COLOR
This control (also called Saturation) increases or decreases
the picture colour intensity. When set to zero, colour images

SHARPNESS
Use this adjustment to increase and decrease the level of
picture detail.
When the sharpness value is reduced the image details
appear less pronounced, while increasing the value raises
image definition, making the outline of objects sharper.
Note that an excessively high value may result in a ‘noisy’ picture
and the edges of objects may be unnaturally defined.

IMAGE
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
: projects the image occupying the full height of the
screen while maintaining the aspect ratio of the input signal.
When the input signal aspect ratio is 4:3 black vertical bands
are displayed on the right and left of the picture.

: this aspect stretches the 4:3 image, slightly
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

C PROJECTION DISTANCES
Follow the table below to determine the optimal projection distance “L” between the screen and the center of the lens. This will
help you to obtain the desired screen size.The manual lens shift adjustments allows the projected image to be moved vertically,
up or down, in relation to the centre of the screen
the lens exceed Hmax, it is necessary to tilt the projector and use the digital keystone to correct the image projected.
