12-ENGLISH
Notes on use
In order to get the best picture quality
Draw curtains or blinds over any windows and turn off any fluorescent lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen.
Do not touch the surfaces of the lens with your bare hands.
If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen. Moreover, when not using the projector, retract the lens and then cover it with the lens cover.
Screen
Do not apply any volatile substances which may cause discolouration to the screen, and do not let it become dirty or damaged.
Lamp
The lamp may need to be replaced earlier due to variables such as individual lamp characteristics, usage conditions and the installation environment, especially when the projector is subjected to continuous use for more than 10 hours or the power is frequently turned on and off.
Liquid crystal panel
The liquid crystal panel of the projector is built with very high precision technology to provide fine picture details. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as fixed points of blue, green or red. Please note that this does not affect the performance of your LCD.
Wireless card (PT-LB10NTE only)
Static electricity from the human body can damage the wireless card. To prevent this, touch a nearby metallic object such as an aluminium sash or a door knob to dissipate the static charge from your body.
Wireless card slot (PT-LB10NTE only)
Make sure that there are no foreign objects inside the slot when inserting the wireless card. Failure to observe this may damage the card and the slot.

Connections

Notes on connections
B Read the instruction manual for each peripheral device carefully before
connecting it.
B Turn off the power supply for all peripheral devices before making any
connections.
B If the cables necessary for connection are not included with the peripheral
device or available as an option, you may need to prepare a proper cable for the device concerned.
B If there is a lot of jitter in the video signal, the projected image may flicker.
In such cases, it will be necessary to connect a TBC (time base corrector).
B Refer to the list on page 60 for details on compatible signals which can be
input to the projector.
B Only one audio system circuit is available for the AUDIO IN L-R
connectors, so if you change the audio input source, you will need to remove and insert the appropriate plugs.

# While pushing the battery holder tab to the right, pull out the battery
holder.
$ Insert the battery into the battery holder so that the + side is facing
upward.
% Insert the battery holder.

Preparation for the remote control unit

NOTE:
B Do not drop the remote control unit. B Keep the remote control unit away from liquids. B Remove the battery if not using the remote control unit for long periods. B Use only CR2025 batteries as replacement batteries. B If the remote control unit is held so that it is facing directly in front of the
remote control signal receptor, the operating range is within approximately 7 m (23´) from the surfaces of the receptor. Furthermore, the remote control unit can be operated from an angle of ±30° to the left or right and ±15° above or below the receptors.
B If there are any obstacles in between the remote control unit and the
receptor, the remote control unit may not operate correctly.
B If strong light is allowed to shine onto the remote control signal receptor,
correct projector operation may not be possible. Place the projector as far away from light sources as possible.
B
If facing the remote control unit toward the screen to operate the projector, the operating range of the remote control unit will be limited by the amount of light reflection loss caused by the characteristics of the screen used.

NOTE:
B If you press the AUTO SETUP button after correcting the keystone
distortion manually, the automatic keystone correction function will

condition. To prevent this from happening, you can set AUTO
KEYSTN in the OPTION1 menu to OFF. (Refer to page 44.)
B Vertical keystone distortion can be corrected to ±30° of the angle of tilt.
However, the greater the correction amount, the more the picture
quality will deteriorate, and the harder it will become to achieve a good
level of focus. To obtain the best picture quality, set up the projector
and screen in such a way that the amount of keystone correction
required is as minimal as possible.
B The picture size will also change when correction of keystone distortion
is carried out.

RESIZING

This should normally be set to “ON”. (This setting is only for signals which have lower resolutions than the LCD panels. Refer to page 60 for details.)
ON
The pixel resolution of the input signal is converted to the same resolution as the LCD panels before being projected. For signals with lower resolutions, gaps in the pixels are automatically interpolated into the picture before it is projected. This may sometimes cause problems with the quality of the picture.
OFF
The input signal is projected at its original resolution, with no pixel conversion. The projected picture will be smaller than normal, so adjust the zoom setting or move the projector forwards or backwards to adjust the picture size if necessary. If set to “OFF”, some features, such as “D.ZOOM” (digital zoom), “KEYSTONE” or “INDEX WINDOW” will not function.

FRAME LOCK

If the picture’s condition is bad while a RGB moving picture is projected, set “FRAME LOCK” to “ON”. Refer to page 60 for compatible RGB signals.
NOTE:
B If a selected mode does not
match the aspect ratio of the input signal, it may affect the quality of viewing of the original picture. Keep this in mind when selecting the aspect ratio.
B If using this projector in places
such as cafes or hotels to display programmes for a commercial purpose or for public presentation, note that if the aspect ratio (16:9) selection function is used to change the aspect ratio of the screen picture, you may be infringing the rights of the original copyright owner for that programme under copyright protection laws.

Cleaning and replacing the air filter

If the air filter becomes clogged with dust, the internal temperature of the projector will rise, the TEMP indicator will illuminate and the projector’s power will turn off (the TEMP indicator will flash after the power is turned off).
The air filter should be cleaned every 100 hours of use.
% Replace the air filter, and then
install the air filter cover.
Cleaning
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean off any accumulated dust.
Replacement procedure
# Turn off the power and
disconnect the mains lead.
Be sure to disconnect the mains lead by following the procedure given on page 26.
$ Gently turn the projector
upside down, and then remove the air filter cover.
NOTE:
B If the dust cannot be cleaned
by a vacuum cleaner, remove the air filter and soak it in water, and then wash out the dust by hand. Be sure to install the air filter after it has dried.
B Do not use detergent when
washing the air filter.
B If the dust cannot be removed
by cleaning, it is time to replace the air filter. Please consult your dealer. Furthermore, if the lamp unit is being replaced, replace the air filter at this time also.
NOTE:
B Be sure to install the air filter
before using the projector. If the projector is used without the air filter installed, dust and other foreign particles will be drawn into the projector, and malfunctions will result.

Care and maintenance

Replacing the lamp unit

Warning
When replacing the lamp, allow it to cool for at least one hour before handling it.
B The lamp cover gets very hot,
and contact with it can cause burns.
Notes on replacing the lamp unit
B The light generating lamp is
made of glass, so dropping it or allowing it to hit hard objects may cause it to burst. Be careful when handling the lamp.
B Dispose of the removed old lamp
with the same care that would be taken with a fluorescent light.
B A Phillips screwdriver is
necessary for removing the lamp unit.
Lamp unit replacement period
The lamp is a consumable product. Even when the full life of the bulb has not been exhausted, the brightness of the light will gradually decline. Therefore periodic replacement of the lamp is necessary. The intended lamp replacement interval is 2 000 hours, but it is possible that the lamp may need to be replaced earlier due to variables such as a particular lamp’s characteristics, usage conditions and the installation environment. Early preparation for lamp replacement is encouraged. The lamp will automatically shut off after approximately 10 minutes when 2 000 hours of use have been reached because of a much greater chance of it exploding after this time.
NOTE:
B The projector is not supplied
with a replacement lamp unit.
Please ask your dealer for
details. Lamp unit product
no.: ET-LAB10
CAUTION:
B Do not use any lamp unit other
than the one with the product
number indicated above.
NOTE:
B The usage hours explained
above are for when “LAMP POWER” in the “OPTION2” menu has been set to “HIGH” and when “AI” in the “PICTURE” menu has been set to “OFF”. If “LAMP POWER” is set to “LOW”, or “AI” is set to “ON”, the life of the lamp can be extended.
B While 2 000 hours is the
intended replacement interval, it is not a period of time covered by warranty.

Projection dimensions calculation methods

If the screen size (diagonal) is SD (m), then the following formula is used to calculate the projection distance for the wide lens position (LW) and the projection distance for the telephoto lens position (LT).
*The values obtained from the formulas above are approximate.
For 16:9 aspect ratios, the following formula can be used to calculate the projection distance.
PT-LB10NTE/PT-LB10E/PT-LB10SE
PT-LB10VE
LW=0.030xSD/0.0254-0.037 LW=0.031xSD/0.0254-0.038 LT=0.036xSD/0.0254-0.037 LT=0.037xSD/0.0254-0.038

NOTE:
B The projector can not receive
the command for 10 seconds after the lamp is switched on. Wait 10 seconds before sending the command.
B If sending multiple commands,
check that a response has been received from the projector for one command before sending the next command.
B When a command which does
not require parameters is sent, the colon (:) is not required.
B If an incorrect command is sent
from the personal computer, the ER401 command will be sent from the projector to the personal computer.
