11-Sep-01

In tune with a new lifestyle trend of Americans staying close to home for fun and games, Sony Electronics today raised the curtain on the Cineza Home Entertainment Projector, the VPL-HS1, featuring high definition capability, SideShotô projection and a Memory StickÆ media slot. The portable Sony projector is just the ticket to turn any room into a large-screen digital playhouse, offering a screen size of 60 to 150 inches diagonally. ""With the growing popularity of digital entertainment sources -- from DVD and DSS to video games and digital photography -- consumers are looking for a big-screen display that will bring their entertainment to life,"" said Lisa Baldino, Marketing Manager for Sony Electronics' Display Systems Division. ""Ideal for screen sizes ranging from five to ten feet, the Cineza Home Entertainment Projector is a big-picture, digital solution in a small, portable package."" Baldino added that the portable projector is also handy for condominiums and apartments, where ""space is the final frontier."" The Cineza home entertainment projector sports SideShot digital keystone correction, which makes it the first projector designed for home use that can be placed on an angle to the screen, and still project images that are centered on the screen. The feature can also help free up valuable space, front-and-center, for the audience. The Sony Cineza Home Entertainment Projector comes with a remote control and composite video cable for direct access to a single component. With an optional multi-pin signal interface unit, cable management, as well as switching multiple video inputs is made easy. All that is required is to plug in the single cable of the interface unit into the projector, and then connect the unit to a cable or satellite receiver, DVD player, VCR or game console. The Sony Cineza Home Entertainment Projector delivers entertainment-to-go. Like a football, the new unit can be carried under one arm and brought to a second home or summer place to keep parents and children entertained. It also features adjustable ""feet"" to raise or lower the projector to the desired setting. The footprint for the Sony projector is a mere 13-1/2 (W) x 6-1/8 (H) x 11-7/8 (D) inches. The unit weighs about eight pounds and can rest on the lower shelf of most coffee tables when not in use. The Sony Cineza Home Entertainment Projector is now available for about $3,000.
