                        PLC-XP30 Adds Direct Digital Connectivity 
                        and Brightness to Family of Multimedia LCD Projectors
                        Unparalleled
                        Flexibility & Versatility Separates PLC-XP30 From
                        the Rest 
                         
                        LAS VEGAS, November 13, 2000, COMDEX, Booth #L5946 -
                        Sanyo Fisher Company's Presentation Technologies
                        Division, whose parent company is one of the world's
                        largest manufacturer of LCD projectors, today announced
                        the addition of the PLC-XP30 to its family of multimedia
                        LCD projectors. Combining flexible connectivity options
                        with brightness, this unit offers complete presentation
                        satisfaction. 
                         
                        Offered at $12,995 (MSRP),
                        the PLC-XP30 incorporates a 250-watt NSH lamp to produce
                        an impressive 3000 ANSI lumens. In addition, using the
                        power lens shift feature, the unit can be twin stacked,
                        resulting in a near doubling of the screen brightness
                        while aligning the images with virtually no geometric
                        distortion. Moreover, Sanyo's Polarized Beam Splitter
                        (PBS) Optical System further enhances the brightness
                        levels of the PLC-XP30 by effectively using all of the
                        light emitted by the projection lamp. 
                         
                        The projector also boasts an XGA native resolution of
                        1024 x 768, greater than 90 percent uniformity, and a
                        contrast ratio of 700:1, enables it to project detailed
                        images from 31 to 400 inches diagonally. In addition,
                        the PLC-XP30 offers improved connectivity with a Digital
                        Visual Interface (DVI). The DVI provides a direct
                        digital connection to a PC. Offering true plug-and-play
                        compatibility, DVI accepts both digital and analog
                        signals while eliminating noise, ghosting, and
                        complicated setup adjustments. 
                         
                        "With twin-stacking capability resulting in extreme
                        brightness levels and a DVI adding connectivity ease,
                        the PLC-XP30 is a solid performer in its class,"
                        said Robert Pearlman, marketing manager, Sanyo Computer
                        Peripheral Products. "This unit is feature-rich,
                        extremely versatile, and competitively priced. The
                        PLC-XP30 offers a comprehensive solution for a variety
                        applications." 
                         
                        The PLC-XP30 is equipped with a variety of advanced
                        digital features, including:
