Mitsubishi XD250U-G Release Note

MITSUBISHI DIGITAL ELECTRONICS AMERICA'S XD221U PROJECTOR
Groundbreaking Audio Features, Environmentally Friendly, Low Cost of Ownership
IRVINE, Calif., March 3, 2009 — Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America's Presentation
Products Division, known for award-winning, high-quality, high-definition presentation and
display products, today announced its new XD221U classroom projector. With a 10-watt speaker
and audio mix capability, closed captioning decoder, user-friendly menus, and low cost of
ownership, Mitsubishi's XD221U offers a rich combination of audio-visual features that makes
teaching more effective with technology that is easy to use.
"Teachers and trainers capture more attention and have greater impact when using multimedia
technology, and our new XD221U makes presenting easier than ever," said Wayne Kozuki,
product manager, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America's Presentation Products Division. "The
audio features enhance the teachers' ability to make the subject interesting not only visually, but
also through clearer sounds and audible information."
Mitsubishi's XD221U is designed with two separate 3.5mm audio inputs and a special built-in
audio mixer so the projector can simultaneously project audio from two sources, such as a DVD
and a third-party wireless microphone. Unlike any other projector available on the market today,
the XD221U's "Audio Mix" feature allows users to adjust the volume levels of each input for its
10W built-in speaker. With this uncommon configuration, an instructor can orally interject key
points during a presentation and be heard over the video.
"I remember sitting in class trying to hear a teacher speak over the volume of an educational
program that we were watching, and the audio of the material tended to be louder than the
teacher's voice," said Kozuki. "With the XD221U, teachers can now clearly point out particular
details while the audience hears the other audio source at the same time. Students will pay closer
attention, be less distracted, and might even learn a little better."
