Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America's Presentation Products Division is launching rebate promotions for three of its most popular home theater projectors--the HC1600, HC5500 and its newest Diamond Series Projector, the HC6500.

The company hopes the rebates are an incentive for movie and sports enthusiasts who are planning to upgrade to a projector-based home theater experience.

The program, running through the end of the year, includes the entry-level 720p high-definition projector, with a $100 mail-in rebate plus a free lamp promotion valued at $495; the HC5500 LCD projector with a rebate of $500 from its suggested retail price of $1995; and the Diamond Series value model, the HC6500, also hits the retail market with a $200 mail-in rebate, for a total suggested retail price of $2295.

The new projector is available only at selected retail outlets such as Best Buy's Magnolia Home Theater stores or through authorized Mitsubishi dealers.--Karl Greenberg
