help Marantz VP-15S1 FAQ
Does the Marantz VP-15S1 display true 1080p rather than only accepting a 1080i signal?
Yes. The VP-15S1 uses a 1920 x 1080 DLP imaging chip, so it displays Full HD material at its native resolution rather than downscaling it to 1600 x 1200.
Which video connections can I use with the Marantz VP-15S1?
It has two HDMI inputs for digital sources, plus component video and legacy analog connections. That makes it usable with a Blu-ray player, PlayStation 3, modern streaming box, or an AV receiver with HDMI output.
Does the VP-15S1 have lens shift for a ceiling-mounted home theater?
Yes, the projector provides vertical lens shift as well as powered focus and zoom. These controls make placement more flexible, although its installation range should still be checked against the Marantz throw-distance chart.
When did the Marantz VP-15S1 come out, and what class of projector was it?
Marantz introduced the VP-15S1 in 2007 as a premium single-chip DLP home-cinema projector. It was built around Texas Instruments' 1080p DarkChip technology and competed in the high-end market rather than the office-projector category.
