J
J
In order to get the picture quality
Draw curtains or blinds over windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light
z
from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen.
Depending on where the projector is used, heated air from an exhaust port or warm or cold air from an air
z
conditioner can cause a shimmering effect on screen.
Avoid use in locations where exhaust or streams of air from projector, other devices and air conditioners
ow between the projector and the screen.
The lens of projector is affected by the heat from the luminous source. Because of this, the focusing may
z
not be stable right after the power is turned on. Focusing is stabled after projecting image for 30 minutes
and longer.
Do not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hand.
If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from ngerprints or anything else, this will be magnied and
projected onto the screen.
DLP chips
The DLP chips are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or
z
always lit, but this is not a malfunction.
Directing a high power laser beam onto the projection window surface can damage the DLP chips.
z
Optical components
Operating the projector in an environment with high temperature or heavy exposure to dust or tobacco smoke
will reduce the service life of the optical components and may necessitate their replacement within less than
one year of use. For details, consult your dealer.
J
Lamp
The luminous source of the projector is a mercury lamp with high internal pressure.
A high pressure mercury lamp has following characteristics.
The brightness of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.
z
The lamp may burst with sound or shorten life by shock or chipping.
z
The life of the lamp varies greatly depending on individual specicities and usage conditions. In particular,
z
continuous use over 22 hours and frequent on/off switching of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and
affect the lamp life.
In rare cases, the lamp burst shortly after 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. (Æ page 44)
If the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in a form of smoke.

Q
Calculation formulas for projection distance
Any other projection distance can be obtained according to the screen dimensions (m) using the following
calculations. The calculation result is with the "m" unit. (The calculated distance below may contain a certain
error.) If the screen dimensions are written as "SD",
For 4:3 aspect ratioFor 16:9 aspect ratio
Screen height (SH)= SD × 0.6= SD × 0.490
Screen width (SW)= SD × 0.8= SD × 0.872
Min. projecion distance (LW)= 1.56 × SD= 1.70 × SD
The projector is equipped with elevator feet for adjusting the image height.
Extend the adjustable feet by rotating in the direction shown in the below picture and retract by rotating in the op-
posite direction.

When to replace the lamp unit
The lamp unit is a consumable component. Brightness decreases according to duration of usage, so periodical
replacement of the lamp unit is necessary. The estimated duration before replacement is 4 500 hours for PTLX300E and 5 000 hours for PT-LX270E. However, this may be shortened depending on individual lamp
characteristics, usage conditions, and the installation environment. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that
a replacement lamp unit be prepared.
When the projection lamp of the projector reaches its end of life, the warning message appears on the screen.
Replace the lamp with a new one promptly.
Model nameLamp runtime
PT-LX300EOver 4 470 hours *
PT-LX270EOver 4 970 hours *
On screen:Warning Lamp message
If the lamp is used over 4 470 hours, the warning message will
appear. When any button is pressed, the message will disappear.
If the lamp is used over 4 970 hours, the warning message will
appear. When any button is pressed, the message will disappear.
Note
The lamp replace time, it is necessary to carry the following calculation. Conrm the lamp used time in the [LAMP settings]
z
(Æpage 40). For PT-LX300E, Lamp use time = [Lamp used time (Normal)] + [Lamp used time (ECO)] × 0.75
For PT-LX270E, Lamp use time = [Lamp used time (Normal)] + [Lamp used time (ECO)] × 0.833
The usage period of 4 500 hours / 5 000 hours is a rough estimate and is not guaranteed.
