                        Class
                        PLC-XF12N & PLC-EF12N
                        Offer Unparalleled Versatility & Flexibility 
                        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 PLC-XF12N and PLC-EF12N,
                        two large venue digital multimedia LCD projectors that
                        offer the brightest output in their respective class. 
                        Both units utilize a 440-watt
                        DC metal halide lamp, three 1.8-inch polysilicon TFT LCD
                        panels and offer greater than 85 percent uniformity. The
                        PLC-XF12N offers an impressive 3300 ANSI lumens, XGA
                        (1024 x 768) native resolution and a contrast ratio of
                        500:1.The PLC-EF12N boasts 3600 ANSI lumens, an SXGA
                        native resolution of 1280 x 1024 and an incredible 600:1
                        contrast ratio.  
                        Also, the $15,995 (MSRP)
                        PLC-XF12N and $23,995 (MSRP) PLC-EF12N can be twin
                        stacked, resulting in a near doubling of the image
                        brightness. The units feature a power lens shift
                        function, which easily aligns the images when twin
                        stacking with virtually no geometric distortion. In
                        addition, Sanyo's Polarized Beam Splitter (PBS) Optical
                        System further enhances the brightness levels of both
                        the PLC-XF12N and PLC-EF12N. 
                        "Sanyo has long been a
                        technology leader in the projector market," noted
                        Robert Pearlman, marketing manager, Sanyo Computer
                        Peripheral Products. "Sanyo was the first to use a
                        direct digital PC interface with large venue projectors
                        and now we continue the tradition of features and
                        flexibility with extensive digital technology and the
                        ability to twin stack units for the ultimate in image
                        brightness." 
                        Sanyo's large venue projectors
                        are equipped with a variety of advanced digital
                        features, including:

                            Digital PC
                              Interface: Based on PanelLink™ technology, the
                              digital PC interface features a graphics
                              accelerator (PCI) board that easily installs into
                              a computer and results in true plug and play
                              compatibility. The PC interface eliminates noise,
                              ghosting, and complicated setup adjustments. |
