Yes, there is only one user-cleanable air filter. There are other vents in the case (basically, every side of the case except the top) that could possibly be cleaned but they are only accessible by opening the Z1's outer shell (which might void the warranty). Perhaps, vacuuming the vents from...
I received my replacement lamp today just 24 hours after ordering it (ah, the power of next day air!). After installing it, cleaning the air filter, and re-positioning the projector, I anxiously fired it up. I was immediately impressed by how much brighter it was (this is in econo mode). It...
I just checked out the results of the AVS Forum poll. Not too encouraging. :frowning: I'm wondering if my bulb died prematurely because the Z1 wasn't getting enough air flow due to clogged air filters. When I was looking at it this morning (after the lamp died), the air filter was covered in...
Unfortunately, the lamp in my Z1 died this morning. :frowning: I think I had about 800 hours on it, all in econo mode. I thought it didn't look as bright lately but it's I guess it's hard to tell if it's gradual reduction in brightness. So where do you buy your replacement lamps from (and how...
Atari 2600 - at that time, the fact that you could play any game at home was enough to make you want to buy the system! Colecovision - Donkey Kong Jr. NES - Super Mario Bros. Genesis - Altered Beasts Super NES - Super Mario World Gameboy - Tetris 3D0 - Crash 'n Burn...
Super Monkey Ball! I was almost embarassed to buy the game it looked so ridiculously ludicrous like those wacky Japanese game shows. I formulated excuses in case someone hounded me on the way to the register ("It's for my kid of course. He's got great hand-eye coordination... for a 1 year...
As an owner of an upgraded stand-alone TiVo for over 2.5 years, I can offer a direct comparison between it and the new Time Warner DVRs (as previously noted, it costs $9.95 per month per DVR in Southern California).
Stand-alone TiVo:
- Easier-to-use
- Better interface
- Better search...
I see what my problem was. I thought the search box at the top was searching all posts for this forum. :b Anyway, thanks for your help, Dave. I'll check out some of the past threads!
Hi all, I did a search for posts on Xbox VGA adaptors but came up empty. Does anyone use one? If so, which one do you have and how do you like it? I will be using it with the VGA input on my Sanyo Z1 LCD projector. I plan on using the component inputs on the Z1 on a progressive scan DVD...
I've had my Z1 for 2 weeks now (probably been using it around 4-6 hours a day and one marathon day of about 12 hours straight). I have not had any problems like the one you describe. My projector is mounted inside of an open coffee table (all venting areas open). When you say it shuts down...
Ok, here are my settings: Contrast - 43 Brightness - 22 Color - 30 Tint - 32 Color Temp - XLow Red - 36 Green - 29 Blue - 27 Sharpness - 0 Gamma - 8 Auto Grayscale - off Auto Fleshtone - off Lamp Mode - half Here's a grab I did from FOTR (sorry I couldn't find the exact frame...
Hi all, I am a proud new owner of a Sanyo Z1! :emoji_thumbsup: I just wanted to know what settings some of you fellow Z1 owners are using. I know it would probably be specific to your setup (screen, ambient light, etc.) but I'm looking for a starting point. I did a quick calibration using...
I ended up getting a Sanyo Z1 LCD projector! I think the best description of using a projector is IMMERSIVE. When I play Halo now, I don't feel like I'm controlling a little character on the screen, I feel like I am Master Chief! On a side note, I'm looking for a new progressive-scan DVD...
Hello all! I'm looking to upgrade my DVD player (currently using an unmodded Xbox) to connect to my new Sanyo Z1 16x9 LCD projector. Here's my prioritized wish list: 1) progressive scan 2) great picture quality 3) price ($150 or less) 4) all the standard connections 5) VCD/SVCD...
I don't NEEEEED it right away... just that it would seem to be an awful shame to have my brand spanking new Z1 (arrived at lunch time!) without a progressive scan capable DVD player. ;) You're right, I will post something in the AV section and hope for some good responses. I had about an hour...
Hi Neil, Thanks for your response. I think I'm going to go with the Toshiba SD-3900 DVD player ($99) over the Cyberhome. Once I get it and my DIY screen built, I'll keep an eye out for the things you suggested. Thanks again!
To be completely accurate, I ordered a Z1 but haven't got my grubby little hands on it yet (hopefully tomorrow!)... however, I do have some questions for all you experienced Z1 owners out there. How much of a gain in DVD playback PQ can I expect going from an Xbox (un-modded so...
On Fourth of July, Fry's was advertising the new Panasonic 47WX53 for $999! Unfortunately, the three locations I checked out were already sold out by 2pm. :frowning:
You could try an after-market extended warranty company like Viking Warranty. According to the website, all you need to qualify is: To be eligible for a Viking Warranty plan a product must meet the following criteria: - Must have come with at least a valid 90 day parts and labor warranty...
Scott, Yes, I have previously checked out Keohi HDTV. I actually did the moire fix suggested there but went a step further and drilled a hole in the back of the TV's back cover so that I could access the focus knob in the future without taking the cover off. Anyway, via the service menu, it...
Hope this is the right forum. I was debating about whether to post this to the Display Devices forum but I decided this was the more appropriate place because my question is targeted specifically at console gamers. I'm in the midst of shopping around for a new TV so I wanted to get some...
Luis, Just to clarify, I am neither upset nor offended. I am, however, very interested to see how you climb out of this hole in particular (referring to the differences between the comic books and the X-Men: Evolution cartoon):
Alex, I believe "windmilling his arms" is one of Wolverine's trademarked moves in the Capcom fighting games... it's called Berserker Barrage (as I'm sure anyone who's played it has heard 800 billion times)! :D Matt, If memory serves me right (I sound like Chairman Kaga on the Iron...
