There are no cables to connect, so projector setup is quick and easy, and you have full layout flexibility. Wireless Manager ME 3.0 software (provided) increases transmission speed by five times compared to our previous model*6. You get fast, smooth, stress-free transmission even with large video files*2. You can copy Wireless Manager to a memory card and take it with you on a trip. This lets you enjoy wireless transmission even at presentation sites where the computer doesn’t have the software*7.

Wireless Prompter (Secondary Display) Function

This allows transmission of content other than what’s displayed on your PC. For example, you can display text documents on your PC screen while projecting slide from your Microsoft®PowerPoint®presentation*8. You get a

host of other convenient wireless transmission functions too, such as area-specified transmission and a multi-live mode for simultaneous display of up to 16 PCs.

Daylight View 2

A built-in sensor measures the ambient light, and the halftone colors and brightness level are adjusted accordingly in real time. Viewing brightness is increased up to 150%*3.

The Daylight View Process

*1 As of February 7, 2006, according to our own evaluation of wireless transmission from PC to

projector. Wireless projection function is featured on the PT-LB50NTU only. *2 Content and DVDs set with DRM (Digital Rights Management) cannot be transmitted. *3 Comparison with Daylight View 2 turned On and Off, using an 80-inch screen and ordinary meet-

ing room lighting of 400 lux. (Projector: PT-LB50NTU, screen gain: 2.6) *4 4.0 lbs/1.8 kg for the PT-LB50U and PT-LB50SU; 4.2 lbs/1.9 kg for the PT-LB50NTU. *5 Legs and protrudings not included. *6 PT-LB20NTU *7 Transmission will be slower than transmission with a computer that has the software installed.

Also, certain functions may not be available. *8 With Wireless Manager ME 3.0, you can use the projector screen as a secondary monitor for the

PC. In this setup, Microsoft® PowerPoint® must be set to “Show Presenter View.”

N OTES ON USE

• The projector uses a high-volta ge mercury lamp that contains high internal pressure. This lamp may break, emitting a large sound, or fail to illuminate, due to impact or extended use. The length of time that it takes for the lamp to break or fail to illuminate varies greatly depending on individual lamp characteristics and usage conditions.

• The brightness of the lamp will gradually decrease with use.

• The lamp, LCD panel, polarizing plate, and polarizing beam splitter (PBS) are consumable parts. These parts may need to be replaced during the guarantee period if the projector is used for six or more hours per day.

• The replacement cycle of the LCD panel, polarizing plate, and polarizing beam splitter (PBS) will be shortened if the projector is subjected to continuous use for six or more hours. Likewise, the replacement cycle of the lamp will be shortened if the power is frequently turned on and off or the projector is subjected to continuous use for 10 or more hours.

• Interruptions may occur in the wireless connection due to signal interference or PC conditions.
