Sharp's Original High-Quality Image System Achieves Beautiful 3D Images
Sharp's Unique ICs and IDT ® Reon™ VX
The XV-Z17000 is equipped with Sharp's proprietary digital image ICs for 3D projection and the IDT
image processing algorithms for high-quality display of wide-ranging video sources for use in DLP. With these ICs and DLP, the XV-Z17000
achieves the high-quality natural and detailed expression of movie film ambience not only for 2D pictures but also 3D pictures.
Newly Developed Dual ICs for High-Quality 3D Pictures
With new dual ICs, the XV-Z17000 provides broad compatibility for 3D formats*, including the mandatory formats specified by the HDMI
standard and others. Plus, 3D depth adjustment and algorithms to reduce crosstalk and flicker deliver pleasant, stress-free viewing conditions
* Refer to the back page for details on compatible 3D formats.

Reon VX Video Processor – High-Quality Video Technology from IDT
The Reon VX uses true four-field, motion-adaptive 1080i de-interlacing to provide the highest quality 1080p
image. In addition, the advanced HQV scaling, noise reduction and detail enhancement engines ensure that SD
images are converted and delivered at a quality approaching HD.
3D Viewing Convenience
Sharp's Proprietary 3D Glasses
The two pairs of 3D glasses that come with the XV-Z17000 are the
same as the 3D glasses for AQUOS LCD TVs. With these glasses,
you can enjoy 3D on AQUOS or on a larger screen with the
XV-Z17000.
The 3D glasses provide 2D/3D switching, and so viewers can return
to 2D and continue watching content to avoid any fatigue from
viewing 3D, particularly when watching with family and friends who
are unaccustomed to 3D.

HDMI 1.4a for Blu-ray 3D Compatibility
The XV-Z17000 is equipped with two
inputs compatible with HDMI 1.4a to
simultaneously connect to a
3D-compatible Blu-ray player, still camera
or video camera to view 3D content.
High-Quality Picture
Full HD Panel (1,920 x 1,080 pixels)
The XV-Z17000 provides Full HD high-resolution pictures with 1,920 x
1,080 pixels and greater capability for large-screen pictures to prevent
rough, grainy colours. And, the panel is compatible with next-generation
digital broadcast systems.
1,600-Lumen High Brightness
Incorporating Sharp optoelectronics technology, the XV-Z17000 provides
1,600-lumen brightness in high-brightness mode to enjoy large-screen pictures.
40,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio with Dual-Iris Mechanism
Employing a thoroughly developed optical engine with Dual-Iris
Mechanism, the XV-Z17000 enhances fine, detailed differences
between the darkest and brightest colours and provides superior black
level reproduction. The mechanism features independent irises for
adjusting illuminating conditions and projecting images. Also, the remote
control can be used to select from four contrast modes.

Color Management System (C.M.S.)
This system independently controls color hue, chrome and brightness for
the six RGBCMY colors (red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow),
enabling users to match the image quality to their preferences.
Color picker
The adjustment color can be selected by specifying the
desired area on the displayed image using the Picker.

CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) Function*
• One-Touch Play: The XV-Z17000 automatically turns on when you
press the play button on a video device connected with an HDMI cable.
• System Standby: The video device automatically turns off when
you turn the XV-Z17000 off.
* The XV-Z17000 is CEC compatible with Sharp video products.
V-Stretch Mode for Anamorphic Lens
V-Stretch Mode can display CinemaScope images (with 2.35:1 aspect ratio)
on a full screen. Using this mode enables viewing pictures in full HD resolution
with the original aspect ratio of the CinemaScope content maintained.
Note: A third-party lens adaptor is required for this mode. Zoom 14:9 Mode cannot be selected while this mode
is activated. For further information, inquire with your nearest Sharp-authorized projector dealer, service
center or Sharp sales office before purchasing.
Low Fan Noise
The projector achieves a low noise level of 23 dB for a comfortable
movie-watching environment. (Eco Quiet Mode: On)

Sliding Lens Cover
The lens cover can be slid closed to protect the lens from dust and
damage while the projector is not being used. If the lens cover is kept
closed for 30 minutes, the projector will turn off automatically for safety.

Outstanding Keystone Correction
The XV-Z17000 compensates for a picture projected on angles
both horizontally (±30º) and vertically (±40º). Also, automatic
vertical keystone correction can be performed (±12º).
• Spherical adjustment corrects distortion of an image projected
on a spherical surface.
• Picture rotation adjusts an image to an arbitrary angle (±5º)*.
* Depending on the signal, not all the picture may be projected when it is rotated.
Front Lamp Replacement System
The lamp unit can be removed from the front of the projector for
easy and safe lamp replacement when the projector is mounted on
the ceiling or in another high location.
Sharp's Proprietary Safe Lamp Housing Structure
When the lamp is removed from the projector for replacement, the
internal lamp shutter door automatically closes, ensuring safe
replacement in the event that the lamp breaks.
Filter-Free Design
When the projector is being used, the lamp door remains open,
and the lamp heat burns off dust, so there is no need to worry
about filter clogging or costs for filter replacement. The sealed
DLP chip with filter-free design helps ensure lower maintenance
and operating costs.
