Cautions on use
Important
Information
To achieve a high picture quality
■■
You achieve a high picture quality by drawing curtains or blinds over windows and turning off any lights
z
■
near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen.
Depending on the conditions, the picture may wobble due to the heated air from the air exhaust port or
z
■
heated or cooled air from the air conditioner.
Take care to ensure that neither the exhaust from the projector or other equipment, nor air from any air
conditioner blows on the front of the projector.
The projection lens is heated by the light from the luminous source, making the focus unstable in the period
z
■
just after switching on. The focus will stabilize after 30 minutes elapsed with the image being projected.
Do not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hands.
■■
If the surface of the lens is contaminated by ngerprints or dirt, this will be magnied and projected onto the
screen, degrading the picture.
LCD panel
■■
The LCD panel is precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always
lit. This is not a malfunction.
When a still image is projected for a long period, the image may burn in to the LCD panel. In this case, project
the white screen from the test patterns ( page 74) for at least one hour. Note, however, that it may not always
be possible to fully eradicate the burned-in image.
This product incorporates the following software:
the software which is developed independently by or for Panasonic Corporation.
If you wish to ask any questions as to the software, please contact (sav.pj.gpl.pavc@ml.jp.panasonic.com) by email.
Optical components
■■
If you are using the projecting a high-temperature environment or an environment which is dusty or full of
cigarette smoke etc., the replacement cycle for optical components such as the the LCD panel and polarizer
may reduce to as little as a year. For more information, please consult your dealer.
Lamp
■■
The projector luminous source is a mercury lamp with high internal pressure.
A high-pressure mercury lamp has the following characteristics.
The brightness of the lamp will decrease with usage time.
z
■
An impact, scratch, or deterioration with usage may cause the bulb burst loudly or reduce the service life.
z
■
The service life of the lamp varies greatly depending on the individual lamp and usage conditions. In
z
■
particular, continuous use for periods of 24 hours or longer and frequent on/off switching of the power
accelerate deterioration in the lamp and affect the lamp life.
In rare cases, the lamp burst shortly after starting the projection.
z
■
The risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace
z
■
the lamp unit consistently. “When to replace the lamp unit” ( page 85)
If the lamp bursts, gas contained in the lamp is released in a form of smoke.
z
■
It is recommend that you store replacement lamp units for contingency.
z
■
It is recommended that you request a qualied technician to replace the lamp unit. Consult your dealer.

Preparation
zIf there are any obstacles between the remote control and the remote control sensor, the remote control may
not operate properly.
zYou can control the projector by reecting the signal off the screen, but the effective operating range will
depend on the characteristics of the screen.
zIf the remote control sensor receives strong light such as uorescent light, the remote control may not operate
properly. Place the projector as far as possible from other light sources.

Attaching the lens
Before putting the projector in position, attach the lens to the projector body.
First, determine the correct lens for the environment in which you are going to use the projector.
For lens product numbers and lens specications suitable for the projector, consult your dealer. When attaching
or replacing a lens, consult the technical staff or service personnel at a specialist dealer for safety. Do not attempt
to attach or replace the lens by yourself. For details, refer to “Notes on attaching the lens” ( page 106).
Caution
When setting up the projector after installing a lens, always t the lens cover to the lens. When carrying or
holding the projector body, never hold the lens. Doing so may damage the projector.
Projection method
You can project images vertically and diagonally. You can select rear ( page 58) and ceiling ( page 58) from the

Attention
zTo get a high picture quality, set up the screen in a location that is, as far as possible, not directly affected by
natural light or electric light. Draw the curtains or blinds and turn off the lights.
zWhen setting up the projector with tilt, do not use the projector at an inclination angle that exceeds ±10°
vertically to the horizontal plane. Installing the projector at an inclination angle that exceeds this value may
reduce the component life and result in malfunctions.

Installation options (optional)
You can install the projector on the ceiling using the optional ceiling mount bracket (Product No.: ET-PKE16H (for
high ceilings), ET-PKE16S (for low ceilings) and ET-PKE16B (for projector)).
zUse only ceiling mount brackets specied for this projector.
zFor details on installation of the projector with the bracket, refer to the installation manual for the ceiling mount
bracket.
Attention
zTo ensure the projector performance and security, installation of the ceiling mount bracket must be carried out
by your dealer or a qualied technician.
Adjustable feet
The adjustable feet can be extended by turning it as shown in the gure. It is retracted by turning it in the opposite
direction. This nely adjusts the height and tilt of the projected image.
When the adjustable feet is extended, the projector can be tilted to a maximum of 3°.
(The projection angle can be adjusted vertically.)
Attention
zHeated air is blowing out from the air exhaust port while the lamp is on. Do not touch the air exhaust port
directly when adjusting the adjustable feet.
zIf the keystone effect occurs in the projected image, perform [Keystone] (
Note
zDo not extend the adjustable feet beyond the red line. Doing so may damage them.

Connections
Before connecting to the projector
zRead carefully the instruction manual of the device you intend to connect.
zTurn off the power switch of the device before connecting the cable.
zIf a connection cable is not supplied with the device and the optional cable is not available, prepare a
connection cable to suit the device.
zVideo signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to randomly wobble. In this case,
a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.
zThe projector accepts the following signals: video signals, S-video signals, analog RGB signals (synchronous
signals are TTL level), and digital signals.
zSome computer models are not compatible with the projector.
zWhen connecting a device to the projector using a long cable, it may not be possible to achieve a normal
picture without a compensator.
zFor details of the video signals supported by the projector, refer to “List of compatible signals” ( page 99).
Connecting example: Computers
Getting Started
Note
zUse an HDMI High Speed cable that adheres to the HDMI standard. Use of a cable that does not adhere to the
HDMI standard, may result in abnormal operation such as cut-out of the image, failure to project, etc.
zThe <HDMI IN> terminal can be connected with an external device with a DVI terminal using an HDMI/DVI
conversion cable. With some devices, however, the image may not appear. (
zWhen the <DIGITAL (DVI-D) IN> terminal is used, normal operation may not be possible with certain devices
and the image may not appear.
zThe <DIGITAL (DVI-D) IN> terminal (in the digital signal input mode) is compatible only with single link signals.
zFor details of RGB signals from computers that the projector supports, refer to “List of compatible signals”
( page 99).
zIf you operate the projector using the computer with the resume feature (last memory), it may be required to
reset the resume feature to operate the projector.
zThe <DIGITAL (DVI-D) IN> terminal (in the digital signal input mode) may require the EDID setting depending
on the connected device.
zTo connect the projector with a computer over a wired LAN, refer to the “Operating Instructions–Network
Operations” on the supplied CD-ROM.
