Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
Precautions for use
Cautions when transporting
f When transporting the projector, hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impacts. They may damage
the internal components and result in malfunctions.
f Do 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.
f Places where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may cause damage to internal components
or malfunction.
f Near 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.
f Near lights (studio lamps, etc.) and other locations with severe temperature uctuations (when using at a place lower than
1 400 m (4 593') above sea level: operating temperature of 0 °C (32 °F) to 45 °C (113 °F), when using at a place of 1 400 m
(4 593') to 2 700 m (8 858') above sea level: operating temperature of 0 °C (32 °F) to 40 °C (104 °F)): The outer case may
be deformed by heat, which may result in malfunctions.
f Near high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector.
f Place 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 projector to
a ceiling.
The optional ceiling mount bracket is required.
Model No.: ET-PKR100H (for high ceilings), ET-PKR100S (for low ceilings), ET-PKR100P (for portrait)
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 cannot be obtained due to inadequate installation.
rThe projector may not work properly due to strong radio wave from the broadcast
station or the radio.
If there is any facility or equipment, which outputs strong radio wave, near the installation location, install the projector at a
location sufciently far from the source of the radio wave. 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 high altitudes of 2 700 m (8 858') or higher above sea
level.
Doing so may shorten the life of the components and result in malfunctions.
rWhen installing and using the projector at an angle that exceeds 30° vertically, set
[COOLING CONDITION] (x page 77).
Failure to observe this may shorten the life of the components or result in malfunctions.

Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
rCautions when setting up the projector
f To install and use the projector via a method that does not use the adjustable feet in a oor standing installation, x the
projector using the four screw holes for ceiling mounting (as shown in the gure).
(Screw diameter: M4, tapping depth inside the set: 10 mm (13/32"), torque: 1.25 ± 0.2 N·m)
Make a clearance of at least 12 mm (15/32") between the projector bottom and setting surface by inserting spacers
(metallic) etc. between them.
f Use the adjustable feet only for the oor standing installation and for adjusting the angle. Using them for other purposes may
damage the set.
Screw holes for ceiling mount (M4)
Adjustable feet
The positions of screw holes for ceiling mount and adjustable feet
f Do not stack projectors on top of each other.
f Do not block the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of the projector.
f Prevent hot and cool air from the air conditioning system to blow directly to the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of the
projector.
500 mm (20") or longer
500 mm (20") or longer 500 mm (20") or longer
100 mm (4") or longer
f Do not install the projector in a conned space.
When it is necessary to install the projector in a conned space, install the air conditioning or ventilation separately. Exhaust
heat may accumulate when the ventilation is not enough, triggering the protection circuit of the projector.

ENGLISH - 17
Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
f Change your password periodically.
f Panasonic Corporation or its afliate companies will never ask for your password directly. Do not divulge your password in
case you receive such inquiries.
f The connecting network must be secured by a rewall, etc.
f Set a password for the web control and restrict the users who can log in.
DIGITAL LINK
“DIGITAL LINK” is a technology that uses a twisted-pair-cable to transmit video, audio, Ethernet, and serial control signals.
The projector supports the optional digital interface box (Model No.: ET-YFB100G), and the “XTP transmitter” of Extron
Electronics. For 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.
Disposal
To dispose of the product, ask your local authorities or dealer for correct methods of disposal.
Cautions on use
rTo get a good picture quality
f In order to view a beautiful image in higher contrast, prepare an appropriate environment. Draw curtains or blinds over
windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps from shining onto the
screen.
f 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. 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
f The 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.
f Directing 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.
f The 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
f When connecting a computer or an external device, use power cords and shielded cables following instructions in this
manual.
f When inputting digital signals to the DVI-I terminal, use a commercially available cable with a ferrite core.
rViewing 3D images
The projector can display 3D image signals that are input through various systems such as “frame packing” and “side by side”.
You need to prepare external devices for viewing 3D images (such as 3D eyewear, video signal output devices) which are
compatible with your 3D system. For connections of the projector and external devices, see the instruction manuals of external
devices you use. Connections vary depending on your 3D system.
Refer to “List of 3D compatible signals” (x page 132) for the types of 3D video signals that can be used with the projector.

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.
Adjustable amount
Front adjustable feet: Approx. 12 mm (15/32")
Attention
f Be careful not to block the intake/exhaust with your hands or any objects when adjusting the adjustable feet when the light source is on.
(x page 22)
f When there is trapezoidal distortion, execute the [POSITION] menu → [KEYSTONE].

Connecting
Before connecting
f Before connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected.
f Turn off the power of all devices before connecting cables.
f Take note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.
g When 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.
g Do 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.
g When connecting cables, connect GND rst, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting device in a straight manner.
f Acquire 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.
f Video 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.
f The projector accepts video signals, analog RGB signals (synchronous signals are TTL level), and digital signals.
f Some computer models are not compatible with the projector.
f Use a cable compensator when you connect devices to the projector using long cables. Otherwise the image may not display properly.
f Refer to “List of compatible signals” (x page 130) for the types of video signals that can be used with the projector.

Attention
f Always use one of the following when connecting a VCR.
g A VCR with built-in time base corrector (TBC)
g A time base corrector (TBC) between the projector and the VCR
f If nonstandard burst signals are connected, the image may be distorted. In such case, connect the time base corrector (TBC) between the
projector and the external devices.
f When inputting digital signals to the DVI-I terminal, use a commercially available cable with a ferrite core.
Note
f When a DVI digital signal is input, some external devices to be connected may require to switch the setting using the [DISPLAY OPTION]
menu → [DVI-I IN] → [EDID].
f The <DVI-I IN> terminal can be connected to HDMI- or DVI-I-compliant devices. However, images may not appear or may not be displayed
properly on some devices.
f For 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.
f The <HDMI IN> terminal of the projector can be connected to an external device with a DVI terminal by using an HDMI/DVI conversion
cable, but some devices may not project the image properly or function properly.
f The projector does not support VIERA Link (HDMI).
f If the [HDMI] and [DIGITAL LINK] settings in the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [AUDIO SETTING] → [AUDIO IN SELECT] are incorrect,
the projector may have malfunctions such as the absence of audio.
