Viewers will also appreciate the projector's versatile broadcast facility, with the ability to accept 480i and 480p broadcast signals along with HD-compatible 1080i and 720p modes. The projector also accepts images from a computer signal, letting users display PowerPoint presentations, online movies, and more, and even includes a Memory Stick slot for instant playback of JPEG still images or MPEG digital movies.

The full impact of a movie's video images are aided by a variety of picture-sharpening features, including CineMotion 3:2 reverse pulldown, which automatically converts film frames to produce smoother-looking DVD images; Slide Shot 2 digital keystoning, which lets users align the picture horizontally and vertically on the screen with the press of a button so they don't have to futz with the position of the projector; and several preset picture modes (dynamic, cinema, and standard) that adjust to the broadcast source and viewing environment. The projector also lets users adjust the black level (the projector includes a 1,300:1 contrast ratio), color temperature (warm reds and cool blues), and brightness.

The projector's audio runs through a built-in speaker system (2 watts x 2), though it's recommended to use an outside audio source for best performance. Viewers can connect other components through the HD-HDMI interface (for high-definition signals), component input, S-video input, composite input, mini-USB input (for computer connection), and audio input.
