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.
R

Preferably, use a screen with black, non-reflecting borders,
image. For the true cinema experience best results are
achieved with little or no ambient light.
which will perfectly frame the projected image.
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.

with a nominal voltage within the following values:
100-240 Vac, 50/60 Hz. It must be earthed

When switching on from stand-by, the projector will turn on the
lamp; after a brief warm up period the image will be displayed
(green LED on).The input automatically selected will be the
last one memorised prior to switch off

You may experience difficulties switching on the projector shortly
after switching off: the lamp may fail to come on as it is too hot.
Just wait a few minutes to cool it down.
