Installation

Receiver Location

This unit is intended to be used with an optional stand or entertainment center. Consult your dealer for available options.
Locate for comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright light (including reflections) will fall on the
screen.
Use of some types of fluorescent lighting can reduce remote control transmitter range.
Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive heat or moisture.
To ensure optimum color purity do not position magnetic equipment (motors, fans, other speakers, etc.) nearby.

Optional External Equipment

The Video/Audio connection between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables. For best performance,
video cables should utilize 75 ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables are available from your dealer or electronics supply store.
Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know what type of output and input connectors your various components
require. Also determine the length of cable you will need.

AC Power Supply Cord

CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot of AC outlet and fully insert. Do not use this

(polarized) plug with a receptacle or other outlet unless the blade can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.

Safety Precaution

Please take safety precautions to prevent the unit from
falling over.
The unit may fall over during earthquakes, or if someone
stands on or shakes the projection TV.

Affixing to a wall

Use a strong rope or a chain (not included) to fasten the
projection TV firmly to a strong support such as a wall or
pillar.

Remote Control Battery Installation

Requires two AA batteries.

1. Turn the Transmitter face down.
Remove top cover by pressing
down on marking and sliding cover
off in the direction indicated.

2. Install the batteries as shown in
the battery compartment. (Polarity
+ or – must match the markings in
the compartment.)

Two AA size

3. Replace the cover and slide in
reverse until the lock snaps.

6

Installation

Helpful Hints:

For frequent remote control users, replace old batteries
with alkaline batteries for longer life.

Helpful Hints:

Whenever you remove the batteries, you may need
to reset the remote control infrared codes. We

recommend that you record the code on page 60, prior
to setting up the remote control.

Precaution on battery use

Incorrect installation can cause battery leakage and corrosion that will damage the remote control transmitter.

Observe the following precautions:

1. Batteries should always be replaced as a pair. Always use new batteries when replacing the old set.

2. Do not combine a used battery with a new one.

3. Do not mix battery types (example: “Zinc Carbon” with “Alkaline”).

4. Do not attempt to charge, short-circuit, disassemble, heat or burn used batteries.

5. Battery replacement is necessary when the remote control acts sporadically or stops operating the projection TV set.

Replacing the lamp unit

The lamp unit is sold separately. To purchase a replacement, call the Panasonic accessory department, toll free at:
1-800-332-5368. (USA only)

Lamp unit Part No. : TY-LA2000

Lamp unit replacement period

The lamp unit for the projection TV should be replaced after approximately 5,000
hours of use in the normal usage mode.

• Warning display after 5,000 hours of use

When the power has been turned on after over 5000 hours of continued use,
LAMP REPLACE will be displayed for approximately 1 min.
A warning message to urge the replacement of the lamp will be displayed in
red at the center of the screen.

Important Points to keep in mind

When replacing the lamp unit with a new one, pay attention to the following points.

Warning:

LAMP REPLACE

• Because the temperature of the lamp unit is elevated immediately after its use, a direct touch to it may cause burns.

Please allow the lamp to cool before handling or replacing the lamp unit.

Cautions for Lamp Unit Replacement:

• Handle the removed old lamp unit carefully. If abusing it, it may have a risk of explosion.

• Wear gloves when replacing the lamp unit.

• If replacing the lamp unit becomes necessary during the operation of the TV, follow the procedure below to turn off the

power and wait until the lamp unit cools completely.

1. Press the POWER button on the remote control unit to turn off the power.

2. Wait for about 90 seconds until the cooling fan stops.

∗ ∗

∗ The lamp cooling fan will continue to operate for about 90 seconds after turning off the power. Do not unplug

∗ ∗

the power cord from the outlet until the fan has stopped. Avoid interrupting the power line such as by using
circuit breakers or switchable power strips.

3. Unplug the power cord from the outlet.

Refer to the instructions enclosed with the lamp unit (part no.: TY-LA2000)
when replacing the lamp.

when High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection DTV decoders, DVD players and D-VHS are put on the market.)

Note:

The DIGIT AL IN terminal can only be used with 1080i, 720p and 480p picture signals. Set the DTV Decode DIGITAL OUT
terminal Output setting to 1080i, 720p or 480p. For detailed information, refer to the DTV decoder instruction manual. If
you cannot display the picture because your DTV decoder does not have a DIGITAL OUT terminal Output setting, use the

Turning the Power ON and OFF

Always be sure to follow the procedure given below to turn the projection TV power ON and OFF.

The lamp cooling fan will continue to operate for approximately 90 seconds after the power is turned off by the remote control.

After the cooling fan has stopped, the power indicator will not illuminate (Stand-by).
If you wish to turn the power ON while the cooling fan is operating, press the power button on the remote controller. The
power indicator on the TV will then flash in green, and the projection TV will turn ON as soon as the cooling fan stops.
In normal circumstances, use the remote control to turn the power OFF (turning the picture OFF).

Do not disconnect the power cord from the power outlet and do not open any circuit breakers while the cooling
fan is still operating.
