Issued 8/09  ©2009 SANYO 
 
 
 PLC-XU355 
 XGA Ultraportable Multimedia Projector 
  
 
A SIMPLE WIRELESS SETTING FOR USE WITH A USB MEMORY 
The PLC-XU355 has an innovative wireless feature called “Simple Wireless Set 
Up”. This model can set up a wireless connection easily without installing a 
software from a CD-ROM. Just pass off the USB memory. By connecting the PC 
and USB memory, the program in the PLC-XU355 starts running automatically, 
and the image will be projected directly on the screen. 
 
 NETWORKING CAPABILITY 
Bright 3500Im, the PLC-XU355 is equipped with SANYO’s exclusive PJ-Net Master 
Network Interface software for wired and wireless networking, a common feature 
among SANYO’s extensive line of commercial projectors. Networking allows the 
monitoring of projector functions and operation from a long distance via a web 
browser for up 15,000 Sanyo projectors.  Emails can be sent automatically to 
report operating status.   
 
COMPLETE EASY AUTO SET UP FUNCTION, SMART AUTO INPUT SEARCH 
AND AUTO VERTICAL KEYSTONE CORRECTION 
PLC-XU355 provides "Auto Set Up Function" that corrects keystone shaped 
distortion by searching for an input signal and detecting projector incline, therefore 
reducing set up time. PLC-XU355 automatically compensates for keystone picture 
distortion. Auto Keystone Correction, Auto Input Search and Auto PC Adjustment 
make it a really smart projector. 
 
SHORT THROW LENS WITH 1.6 ZOOM AND 7W SPEAKER 
PLC-XU355 is equipped with a zoom lens that allows screen size adjustment. The 
optical zoom works to maintain the image quality. The short-focus type lens allows 
large screen image projections with a short throw distance. The PLC-XU355 
enables 100-inch screen projection at the shortest distance, 94 inches. Along with 
its mobility, the PLC-XU355 features a high-output 7 Watt speaker. Sufficient audio 
is delivered through its built-in speaker, so the projector can be used in conference 
rooms, classrooms, and other similar spaces. 
 
BLACK BOARD / COLOR BOARD MODE 
What could be more right for education? A  black board mode. The PLC-XU355 is 
compatible with four colored (red, blue, green and yellow) projection surfaces via 
the ‘Color Board Mode’. It adjusts the color to make images look as true as on an 
ordinary white screen.  
 
LAMP REPLACEMENT ON TOP CABINET 
There is access to the lamp from the top of the projector which means you can 
replace the lamp on a ceiling-mounted unit without taking down the projector. 
 
CLOSED CAPTION 
PLC-XU355 Closed Caption compatible.
