Before use

Caution when moving the projector

Be sure to attach the lens cover before moving the projector.

The projection lens is extremely susceptible to vibration and
shocks. When moving the projector, use the accessory softcase.
When placing the projector inside the softcase, position it so that
the lens is facing upward.

Attach the lens cover so that the direction of the “Panasonic”
logo becomes as shown in the figure above.

Cautions regarding setting-up

Avoid setting up in places which are subject to vibration
or shocks.

The internal parts can be damaged, which may cause
malfunctions or accidents.

Avoid setting up in places which are subject to sudden
temperature changes, such as near an air conditioner.

The life of the lamp may be shortened.

Do not set up the projector near high-voltage power lines
or near motors.

The projector may be subject to electromagnetic interference.

If installing the projector to the ceiling, ask a qualified
technician to carry out all installation work.

10-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.

Preparation

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.

Getting started

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.

BIf the buttons on the remote control unit are kept pressed, the battery

power will be consumed rapidly.

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.

Correcting keystone distortion

KEYSTONE 0

Keystone distortion is corrected automatically when the projector’s automatic
setup function is used, but this correction will not apply if the screen itself is
tilted. In such cases, you can correct the keystone distortion manually with
the following procedure.

Vertical keystone distortion correction only.

Vertical

Operation

NOTE:

B If you press the AUTO SETUP button after correcting the keystone

distortion manually, the automatic keystone correction function will
operate and the corrected picture will return to its previous incorrect
condition. To prevent this from happening, you can set “AUTO
KEYSTN” in the “OPTION1” menu to “OFF”. (Refer to page 42.)

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.

B

S1 video signals are a type of
video signal with an aspect ratio
of 16:9 which include a detector
signal. This detector signal is
output by some sources such as
wide-vision video decks.

B

When “ASPECT” is set to

the detector signal and
automatically switches the aspect
ratio to 16:9.

ENGLISH-39

Adjustments and settings

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.

B If a normal (4:3) picture which

was not originally intended for
wide-screen viewing is
projected onto a wide screen,
distortion may occur around
the edges of the picture, or
part of the picture may not be
visible. Such programmes
should be viewed in 4:3 mode
to give proper consideration to
the aims and intentions of the
original programme’s creator.

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 58
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 58 for compatible RGB
signals.

48-ENGLISH

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 flash and the projector power will
turn off. The air filter should be cleaned every 100 hours of use.

Cleaning

Use a vacuum cleaner to clean off
any accumulated dust.

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.

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 24.

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.

NOTE:

B The projector is not supplied

with a replacement lamp unit.
Please ask your dealer for
details. Lamp unit product
no.: ET-LAM1

CAUTION:

B Do not use any lamp unit other

than the one with the product
number indicated above.

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 usage hours explained

above are for use when the
“HIGH” setting has been
selected for “LAMP POWER”
in the “OPTION2” menu. If the
“LOW” setting is selected, the
brightness of the lamp will be
less and 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).

Minimum Projection Distance (mm)
Maximum Projection Distance (mm)

For 16:9 aspect ratios, the following formula can be used to calculate the
projection distance.

Minimum Projection Distance (mm)
Maximum Projection Distance (mm)

*The values obtained from the formulas above are approximate.

LW=30.919xSD/0.0254-42.514
LT=36.766xSD/0.0254-42.233

LW=33.902xSD/0.0254-42.524
LT=40.359xSD/0.0254-42.519
