f When transporting the projector, hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impacts. They may damage
the internal components and result in malfunctions.
f Do not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet.
Cautions when installing
rAfter attachment of the projection lens, be sure to attach the Lens Mount Cover.
Otherwise dust will accumulate inside and may cause malfunctions.
rDo not set up the projector outdoors.
The projector is designed for indoor use only.
rDo not set up the projector in the following locations.
f Places where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may cause damage to internal components
or malfunction.
f Near the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may uctuate in rare cases due
to the heated air from the air exhaust port or the hot or cooled air. Make sure that the exhaust from the projector or other
equipment, or the air from the air conditioner does not blow toward the front of the projector.
f Places with sharp temperature uctuations such as near lights (studio lamps): Doing so may shorten the life of the lamp, or
result in deformation of the outer case due to heat, which may cause malfunctions.
The operating environment temperature of the projector should be between 0 °C (32 °F) and 45 °C (113 °F) when using it at
elevations lower than 1 400 m (4 593') above sea level, and between 0 °C (32 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F) when using it at high
altitudes (1 400 m (4 593') or higher – lower than 2 700 m (8 858') above sea level).
f Near high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector.f Places where there is high-power laser equipment: Directing a laser beam onto the projection lens surface causes damage
to the DLP chips.
rBe sure to ask a specialized technician or your dealer when installing the projector on
a ceiling.
The optional Ceiling Mount Bracket is required.
Model No.: ET-PKD120H (for high ceilings), ET-PKD120S (for low ceilings), ET-PKD120B (Projector Mount Bracket)

DIGITAL LINK
“DIGITAL LINK” is a technology that uses a twisted-pair-cable to transmit video, audio, Ethernet, and serial control signals.
The projector supports the optional Digital Interface Box (Model No.: ET-YFB100G), and the “XTP transmitter” of Extron
Electronics. For twisted-pair-cable transmitter of other manufacturers of which the operation has been veried with the
DIGITAL LINK compatible projector, refer to Panasonic website (http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/). Note that the verication
for devices of other manufacturers has been made for the items set by Panasonic Corporation, and not all the operations have
been veried. For operation or performance problems caused by the devices of other manufacturers, contact the respective
manufacturers. In addition, audio function is not equipped with the projector. Therefore, audio transmission is not supported.
Art-Net menu
“Art-Net” is an Ethernet communication protocol based on the TCP/IP protocol. By using the DMX controller and the application
software, illumination and stage system can be controlled. Art-Net is made based on DMX512 communication protocol.
Disposal
To dispose of the product, ask your local authorities or dealer for correct methods of disposal.
The lamp contains mercury. When disposing of used lamp units, contact your local authorities or dealer for correct methods of
disposal.

Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
Cautions on use
rTo get a good picture quality
In order to view a beautiful image in higher contrast, prepare an appropriate environment. Draw curtains or blinds over
windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen.
rDo not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hands.
If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from ngerprints or anything else, this will be magnied and projected onto
the screen.
Attach the supplied lens cover to the projection lens of the projector or an optional projection lens when you do not use the
projector.
rDLP chips
f The DLP chips are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always lit. Note that
such phenomena do not indicate malfunction.
f Directing a high-power laser beam onto the projection lens surface can damage the DLP chips.
rDo not move the projector or subject it to vibration or impact while it is operating.
Doing so may shorten the life of the built-in motor.
rLamp
The light source of the projector is a high-pressure mercury lamp.
A high-pressure mercury lamp has the following characteristics.
f The luminance of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.f The lamp may burst with a loud sound or have its service life shortened because of shock, chipping, or degradation due to
cumulative runtime.
f The lamp life varies greatly depending on individual differences and usage conditions. In particular, frequent on/off switching
of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and affects the lamp life.
f Continuous use for over one week will deteriorate the lamp. The degradation of the lamp due to continuous use can be
reduced by using the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [LAMP RELAY].
f In rare cases, the lamps burst shortly after projection starts.f The risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace the lamp unit
regularly.
(“When to replace the lamp unit” (x page 161), “How to replace the lamp unit” (x page 162))
f If the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in the form of smoke.f It is recommended that you store the Replacement lamp unit as a contingency.
rComputer and external device connections
f When connecting a computer or an external device, read this manual carefully regarding the use of power cords and
shielded cables as well.
f Use a commercial cable with a ferrite core for connecting with the <DVI-D IN> terminal.
rViewing 3D images
The projector can display 3D video signals that are input through various systems such as “frame packing” and “side by
side.” In addition, the projector corresponds to DLP Link system 3D eyewear. However, not all the 3D eyewear operations are
warranted.
You are required to prepare external devices for viewing 3D images (such as 3D eyewear, video signal output devices) which
are suitable for your 3D system. For connections of the projector and external devices, they are different depends on the 3D
system to be used, see the operating instructions of external devices you use.
Refer to “List of 3D compatible signals” (x page 180) for the types of 3D video signals that can be used with the projector.

1) Open the cover. (Fig. 1)
2) Insert the batteries and close the cover (insert the m side first). (Fig. 2)
f When removing the batteries, perform the steps in reverse order.
Setting the remote control ID numbers
When you use the system with multiple projectors, you can operate all the projectors simultaneously or each projector individually using single
remote control, if a unique ID number is assigned to each projector.
After setting the ID number of the projector, set same ID number on the remote control.
The factory default ID number of the projector is set to [ALL]. When using a single projector, keep pressing the <ID SET> button on
the remote control for at least three seconds to set the ID number of the remote control to [ALL]. In addition, when the ID number of
the projector is unknown, setting the ID number to [ALL] enables the remote control.
How to set
1) Press the <ID SET> button on the remote control.
2) Within five seconds, press the two-digit ID number set on the projector using the number (<0> - <9>)
buttons.
f When the ID number is set to [ALL], you can control the projector regardless of the ID number setting of the projector.
Attention
f Since the ID number of the remote control can be set without the projector, do not press the <ID SET> button on the remote control
carelessly. If the <ID SET> button is pressed and no number (<0> - <9>) buttons are pressed within ve seconds, the ID number returns to
its original value before the <ID SET> button was pressed.
f The ID number set on the remote control will be stored unless it is set again. However, it will be erased if the remote control is left with dead
batteries. Set the same ID number again when the batteries are replaced.
Note
f When the ID number of the remote control is set to [0], you can control the projector regardless of the ID number setting of the projector, as
same as when [ALL] is set.
f Set the ID number of the projector from the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [PROJECTOR ID].
