Convenient, Easy to Use Features and Design

Making the LV-8320 more convenient and easier to use were the goals of the Canon designers. You'll find controls and features made to let you concentrate on making better presentations.

Intelligent Lamp Dimming

When this feature is selected, the LV-8320 automatically adjusts the output of the lamp to match the brightness of the image being projected. Together with Color Shift Correction, which automatically adjusts the shift of color balance based on the projected image, power consumption is reduced, enhancing economy.

Quick Start and Quick Power Off

Quick Start and Quick Power Off makes it more convenient to operate the LV-8320 and helps to lengthen lamp life. With the push of a button this projector will quickly spring into action for a spur-of-the-moment presentation, or shut-down to be packed for use in another meeting room.

Auto Setup Function

Setting up the LV-8320 is both quick and easy with the Auto Setup function. Through a single button you can set Auto Input, Auto PC and Auto Keystone correction.

With the projector placed on a flat surface, the engagement of Auto Setup will employ sensors which will detect the tilt of the projector in relation to the screen, automatically correcting for any keystone distortion up to +/- 20 degrees vertically. Of course, keystone correction can be adjusted manually as well up to +/- 30 degrees.

Control Panel

Easy to use and clear controls for volume and menu mean that the focus of a presenter will be on the presentation, not on running the projector. The LV-8320 makes it simple to switch between input sources at the touch of a button. Buttons which are familiar in look and feel to those of printers and copy machines fall easily to hand. For added convenience, the wireless IR remote control can be used.

Tab-Style Menu

The clear to read, white text on black background of the LV-8320's on-screen menu is easy to navigate. For added convenience, choose from 21 languages for the menu display. 

Built-in Speaker

Quiet Operation and Closed Captioning
