Precautions on handling
Precautions on transport
Make absolutely sure that the lens cap is in place
when transporting the projector or carrying it
around. Both the projector and the projection lens
are precision-made and, as such, are susceptible to
vibration and impacts. When transporting the
projector and lens or carrying them around, place
them in the boxes in which they were housed at the
time of purchase, and take care to keep them away
from vibration and impacts.
Precautions on installation
Be sure to observe the following precautions when
installing the product.
Avoid installing the product in a place
exposed to vibrations or impacts.
If the projector is installed in a place where
vibrations are transmitted from a source of
driving power and others or mounted in a car or
a vessel, vibrations or impacts may be
transmitted to the product to damage the internal
parts, causing failure. Install the product in a
place free from vibrations and impacts.
Do not move the projector while it is
operating or subject it to vibration or
impact.
The service life of its internal motors may be
shortened.
Do not install the projector near highvoltage power lines or power sources.
The product may be exposed to interference if it
is installed in the vicinity of high-voltage electrical
power lines or power sources.
Do not place the projector on a vinyl
sheet or carpet.
If a vinyl sheet sucked up and blocks the air filter
intake port, the internal temperature of the
projector may increase, which triggers the
protection circuit, turning off the power.
Be sure to ask a specialized technician
when to install the product to a ceiling.
If the product is to be installed hanging from the
ceiling, purchase an optional hanging attachment
(for high ceiling: Model No. ET-PKD35) (for low
ceiling: Model No. ET-PKD35S) and call a
specialized technician for installation.
Do not place the projector over 2 700 m
above sea level. When using it over
1 400 m above sea level, set the “Fan
Control1”, described on page 35, to
“HIGHLAND”.
Otherwise the life of the product may be
shortened.
Disposal
To discard the product, call the dealer or a
specialized dealer.
Precautions on use
To view clear images:
• The audience cannot enjoy high-contrast and
clear images if outside light or the illumination
interferes the screen surface. Draw window
curtains or blinds, turn off the lightings near the
screen or take other proper measures.
• In rare cases, wafture can occur on the screen
affected by the warm air from the exhaust port
depending on the environment.
Do not touch the surface of the
projection lens with bare hand.
If fingerprints or stains are left on the projection
lens surface, they are magnified and projected
on the screen. Keep your hands away from the
lens. Cover the lens with the supplied lens cap
when the projector is not used.
Lamp
A mercury lamp with high internal pressure is used
for the light source of this product. A high-pressure
mercury lamp has the following characteristics:
•
It may burst with a loud sound or end its life cycle
by not illuminating because of given impacts,
flaws, or deterioration due to used hours.
•
The life cycle of a mercury lamp varies according
to the individual difference or conditions of use.
In particular, turning the power on and off
frequently and/or repeatedly will greatly affect the
life cycle.
• In rare cases, it may burst shortly after the first
lighting.
• The possibility of burst increases when the
lamp is used beyond the replacement time.
Cleaning and maintenance
Be sure to remove the power cord plug from the
receptacle before cleaning.
Use soft and dry cloth to clean the cabinet
If stains are hard to remove, use a cloth
dampened with a kitchen detergent solution
(neutral) and squeezed to wipe the cabinet and
finish with a dry cloth. If a chemical wipe is used,
follow its instructions.
Do not clean the lens surface with fuzzy
or dusty cloth.
If dust adheres to the lens, it will be magnified
and projected on the screen.
Use a soft and clean cloth to wipe off dust.

Effective range of remote
control operation
The remote control should normally be aimed at either
the front or rear remote control receiver window on
the projector (figure 1). Otherwise, it may also be
aimed at the screen, which will reflect commands
back to the projector’s front receiver window as
illustrated in figure 2.
The effective control range is approx. 7 metres from
the beam receiver on the front or rear.
• Do not drop the remote control unit.
• Do not expose remote control unit to
any liquid.
• Do not use NiCd batteries.
Attention
Note
• When the remote control is aimed at
the screen, the effective control range
may be reduced due to the optical loss
by screen reflection.
• The remote control may not function
properly if an object is in the light path.
• The remote control receiver may not
function properly in intense ambient
light such as fluorescent lamps.
Carefully site the projector so its
remote control receiver windows will
not be directly exposed to intense
light.

Note
Setting projector ID number to remote control
Every projector has its ID number and the ID number of the controlling projector must be set to the remote
control in advance so that the user can operate the remote control. The ID number of the projector is set to
“ALL” on shipping, and use the ID ALL button of the remote control when using only a single projector.
Procedure of ID setting
Change the position of the operation mode selector switch to “Computer”.
Press the ID SET button, and within five seconds use the number (0 to 9) buttons to
enter the 2-digit ID number set by the projector.
Change the position of the operation mode selector switch to “Projector”.
However, if the ID ALL button is pressed, the projector can be controlled regardless of the ID number of the
projector (simultaneous control mode).
• Do not press the ID SET button accidentally or carelessly because the ID number on the remote
control can be set even when no projector is around.
If the ID SET button is pressed, the ID number goes back to the one set before pressing the ID
SET button unless a numeric button is pressed within five seconds after the ID SET button is
pressed.
• Your specified ID number is stored in the remote control unit unless another one is specified later.
However, the stored ID will be erased if the batteries of the remote control are left exhausted.
When the dry cells are replaced, set the same ID number again.

Using a wired remote control
If the installed environment of the main unit is such that an obstacle to the light exists between the main unit and
the remote control or the main unit is susceptible to the effects of external light, connect a M3 stereo mini jack
cable available in the market to control the main unit.
M3 stereo mini jack cable
(available in the market)
Using the remote control unit
• Use two-core shielded cable of
length smaller than 15 m. If the
cable length exceeds 15 m, or if the
shielding of the cable is inadequate,
the operation may be unsatisfactory.

Setting-up dimensions which are not given in the
above table can be calculated using the formulas
below.
LW = 0.03713 x SD – 0.05067
LT = 0.049 x SD – 0.05
(LW,LT: m SD: inch)
For 16 : 9 aspect rations, the following formal can be
used to calculate the screen width (SW).
SW = (SD x 0.0254) x 16 ÷ 337
The value for SW obtained above can then be used
with the following function to calculate the projection
distance for the wide lens position (LW) and the
projection distance for the telephoto lens position (LT).
LW = 1.827 x SW – 0.05067
LT = 2.411 x SW – 0.05
Note
• The dimensions in the table above and
the values obtained from the above
formulas may contain slight errors.
• It is recommended that you use the
projection distance for the wide lens
position.
• The above dimensions are the case
when the aspect ratio is 4:3. When an
SXGA signal is input and projected,
the right and left ends of the picture
will be blanked the aspect ratio will be
5:4.
Projection distances
Listed in the table below are the projection
distances of the standard lens provided with the
PT-D3500E.
Refer to page 61 for the projection distances of the
projection lenses available as optional accessories.
• Do not place or use one projector on top
of another projection unit.
• Install the projector such that the exhaust
port on the rear side is not blocked and a
clearance of more than 30 cm is available.

Connection
Setup precautions
• Before connecting any of your video/audio equipment to the projector, carefully read the owners manual
supplied with the equipment once again.
• All cable connections should be made with the entire system devices, including the projector, first turned off.
• Obtain commercial interconnecting cables for devices supplied with no accessory or optional interconnect
cables.
• Video signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to randomly wobble or shake.
Inserting a time base corrector (TBC) in the projector’s video line will relieve this problem.
• The projector only accepts composite-video, S-video, analogue-RGB (with TTL sync. level), and digital signal
from PC.
• Some PC models are not compatible with the PT-D3500E projector.
• The pin assignments on the S-VIDEO IN port are as
follows:
• The pin assignments on the DVI-D input port are as
follows (interface with DVI-D output port on PC):
• The DVI-D input terminal supports single link only.
• EDID settings should be performed to suit the DVI
equipment being connected. (Page 34)
• The DVI-D input terminal can be used to connect to a
DVI equipment, but note that images may not appear
or the projector may not work properly when
connected to certain DVI equipment.
• The pin assignments on the RGB2 input port are as
follows:

Note
• For the specifications of the RGB signals that can be applied from the PC, see the data sheet on
page 60.
• If your PC has the resume feature (last memory), the computer may not function properly until the
resume capability is disabled.
• When the SYNC ON GREEN signal is input, do not input sync signals to the SYNC/HD and VD
terminals. Doing so may disrupt the images since, rather than using synchronization initiated by
the GREEN signal, the sync signals of the SYNC/HD and VD terminals will be used instead. Even
if the images are not disrupted, the white balance may be lost. If this is the case, select “USER” as
the “COLOR TEMP.” setting (see page 29), and adjust “W-BAL LOW”.
• The white balance may be lost when the SYNC ON RGB signal is input. If this is the case, select
“USER” as the “COLOR TEMP.” setting (see page 29), and adjust “W-BAL LOW”.
