Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
Precautions for use
Cautions when transporting
fWhen transporting the projector, hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impacts. Doing so may
damage the internal components and result in malfunctions.
fDo not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet.
Cautions when installing
rDo not set up the projector outdoors.
The projector is designed for indoor use only.
rDo not set up the projector in the following locations.
fPlaces where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may cause damage to internal components
or malfunction.
fNear the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may uctuate in rare cases due
to the hot air from the air exhaust port or the heated or cooled air. Make sure that the exhaust from the projector or other
equipment, or the air from the air conditioner does not blow toward the front of the projector.
fNear lights (studio lamps, etc.) and other locations with severe temperature uctuations (“Operating environment”
(x page 124)): Placing the projector in these locations may result in malfunctions and the deformation of the outer case.
fNear high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector.
fPlace where there is high-power laser equipment: Directing a laser beam onto the lens surface causes damage to the DLP
chips.
rBe sure to ask a specialized technician or your dealer when installing the product to a
ceiling.
The optional ceiling mount bracket is required.
Model No.: ET-PKR100H (for high ceilings), ET-PKR100S (for low ceilings)
rAsk a qualied technician or your dealer to install the cable wiring for DIGITAL LINK
connection.
Image and sound may be disrupted if cable transmission characteristics can not be obtained due to inadequate installation.
rThe projector may not work properly due to strong radiowave from the broadcast
station or the radio.
If there is any facility or equipment, which outputs strong radiowave, near the installation location, install the projector at a
location sufciently far from the source of the radiowave. Or, wrap the LAN cable connected to the <DIGITAL LINK/LAN>
terminal by using a piece of metal foil or a metal pipe, of which is grounded at both ends.
rLens focus
The high clarity projection lens is thermally affected by the light from the light source, making the focus unstable in the period
just after switching on the power. Wait at least 30 minutes with the image projected before adjusting the lens focus.
rDo not install the projector at elevations of 2 700 m (8 858') or higher above sea level.
Doing so may shorten the life of the internal components and result in malfunctions.
rDo not use the projector tilted to the right or left.
Using the projector at a vertical angle that exceeds 15° may reduce product life or result in malfunction.
rWhen installing and using the projector at an angle that exceeds 30° vertically, set
[COOLING CONDITION] (x page 70).
Failure to observe this will result in malfunctions or shorten the life of the internal components.

just after switching on the power. The focus stabilizes when an image is projected continuously for 30 minutes or more.
rDo not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hands.
If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from ngerprints or anything else, this will be magnied and projected onto
the screen.
rDLP chips
fThe DLP chips are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always lit. Note that
such phenomena does not indicate malfunction.
fDirecting a high-power laser beam onto the lens surface can damage the DLP chips.
rLight source
The light source of the projector uses LED and lasers, and has the following characteristics.
fThe luminance of the light source will decrease by duration of usage.
The usage time until when the luminance of the light source decreases by half is approximately 20 000 hours. 20 000 hours
is the estimated duration, and it varies depending on individual differences and usage conditions.
If the light source goes off or the brightness reduces noticeably, ask your dealer about replacement of the light source unit.
rComputer and external device connections
fWhen connecting a computer or an external device, use power cords and shielded cables following instructions in this
manual.
fUse a commercial DVI-D cable with a ferrite core.

The unit of the formula is m. (The values of the following calculation results contain slight error.)
For PT-RZ370U
4:3 aspect ratio 16:9 aspect ratio 16:10 aspect ratio
Screen size Height (SH) = SD x 0.6 = SD x 0.490 = SD x 0.530
Screen size Width (SW) = SD x 0.8 = SD x 0.872 = SD x 0.848
Min. projection distance (LW) = 1.5854 x SD - 0.0544 = 1.2955 x SD - 0.0544 = 1.4004 x SD - 0.0544
Max. projection distance (LT) = 3.1589 x SD - 0.0408 = 2.5812 x SD - 0.0408 = 2.7904 x SD - 0.0408

Adjusting adjustable feet
Install the projector on a at surface so that the front of the projector is parallel to the screen surface and the projection screen is rectangular.
If the screen is tilted downward, the projection screen can be adjusted to be rectangular by adjusting the adjustable feet. The adjustable feet
can also be used to adjust the projector to be level when it is tilted in a horizontal direction.
Extend the adjustable feet by rotating in the direction shown in the gure and retract by rotating in the opposite direction.

Chapter 2 Getting Started — Connecting
Connecting
Before connecting
fBefore connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected.
fTurn off the power of all devices before connecting cables.
fTake note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.
gWhen connecting a cable to a device connected to the projector or the projector itself, touch any nearby metallic objects to eliminate static
electricity from your body before performing work.
gDo not use unnecessarily long cables to connect to a device connected to the projector or to the projector body. The longer the cable, the
more it is susceptible to noise. Since using a cable while it is wound makes it act like an antenna, it is more susceptible to noise.
gWhen connecting cables, connect GND rst, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting device in a straight manner.
fAcquire any connection cable necessary to connect the external device to the system that is either not supplied with the device or not
available as an option.
fVideo signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the screen to randomly wobble or wafture. In this case, a time base
corrector (TBC) must be connected.
fThe projector accepts video signals, analog RGB signals (synchronous signals are TTL level), and digital signals.
fSome computer models are not compatible with the projector.
fUse a cable compensator when you connect devices to the projector using long cables. Otherwise the image may not display properly.
fRefer to “List of compatible signals” (x page 121) for the types of video signals that can be used with the projector.

Attention
fWhen connecting the projector to a computer or an external device, use the power cord supplied with each device and commercially
available shielded cables.
fUse a commercial DVI-D cable with a ferrite core.
Note
fFor an HDMI cable, use an HDMI High Speed cable that conforms to HDMI standards. If a cable that does not conform to HDMI standards
is used, images may be interrupted or not displayed, or the projector may not function properly.
fThe <HDMI IN> terminal of the projector can be connected to an external device with an DVI terminal by using an HDMI/DVI conversion
cable, but some devices may not project the image properly or otherwise function properly. (x page 63)
fThe <DVI-I IN> terminal (for digital input) supports single link only.
fFor signals that the projector can project, refer to “List of compatible signals” (x page 121).
fIf you operate the projector using the computer with the resume feature (last memory), you may have to reset the resume feature to operate
the projector.
fDuring DVI digital signal input, EDID settings may be necessary depending on the external devices to be connected. (x page 62)
fIf the [AUDIO IN SELECT] settings are incorrect, the projector may not output audio or otherwise function properly. (x page 78)
Connecting example: Twisted-pair-cable transmitter
Twisted-pair-cable transmitters such as the optional digital interface box (Model No.: ET-YFB100G) use twisted-pair-cables to transmit input
video, audio, Ethernet, and serial signals, and the projector can input those digital signals to the <DIGITAL LINK/LAN> terminal.

gA time base corrector (TBC) between the projector and the VCR
fIf nonstandard burst signals are connected, the image may be distorted. In such case, connect the time base corrector (TBC) between the
projector.
fUse a commercial HDMI/DVI conversion cable with a ferrite core.
fAsk a qualied technician or your dealer to install the cable wiring for a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector connection. Image
and sound may be disrupted if cable transmission characteristics can not be obtained due to inadequate installation.
fFor the LAN cable between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, use a cable that meets the following criteria:
gCompatible with CAT5e or higher
gShielded type (including connectors)
gStraight-through
gSingle wire
fWhen laying cables between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, check that cable characteristics are compatible with CAT5e
or higher using tools such as a cable tester or cable analyzer.
When using a relay connector midway, include it in the measurement.
fDo not use a hub between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector.
fWhen connecting to the projector using a twisted-pair-cable transmitter (receiver) of other company, do not place another twisted-pair-
cable transmitter in between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter of other company and the projector. This may cause sound and image to be
disrupted.
fDo not pull cables forcefully. Also, do not bend or fold cables unnecessarily.
fTo reduce noise, stretch out the cables between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector without any loops as much as possible
before setting them up and using them.
fLay the cables between a twisted-pair cable transmitter and the projector away from other cables, particularly power cables.
fWhen installing multiple cables, run them side by side along the shortest distance possible without bundling them together.
fAfter laying the cables, conrm that the [SIGNAL QUALITY] value is displayed in green to indicate normal quality using the [NETWORK]
menu → [DIGITAL LINK STATUS]. (x page 89)
Note
fFor an HDMI cable, use an HDMI High Speed cable that conforms to HDMI standards. If a cable that does not conform to HDMI standards
is used, images may be interrupted or may not be displayed.
fThe projector does not support VIERA Link (HDMI).
fThe maximum transmission distance between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector is 100 m (328'1"). If this distance is
exceeded, image and sound may be disrupted and may cause a malfunction in LAN communication. Please note that we do not support the
use of the projector outside the maximum transmission distance.
fFor twisted-pair-cable transmitter of other manufacturers of which the operation has been veried with the DIGITAL LINK compatible
projector, refer to Panasonic website (http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/). Note that the verication for devices of other manufacturers
has been made for the items set by Panasonic Corporation, and not all the operations have been veried. For operation or performance
problems caused by the devices of other manufacturers, contact the respective manufacturers.
