If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from ngerprints or anything else, this will be magnied and projected onto the screen.
ENGLISH - 15
Chapter 1 Preparation - Precautions for use
rLCD Panel
The display unit of this projector comprises three LCD panels. Although an LCD panel is a product of high-precision
technology, some of the pixels on the projected image may be missing or constantly lit. Please note that this is not a
malfunction.
Displaying a still image for a longer time may result in an after-image on the LCD panels. If this happens, display the all white
screen in the Test pattern for an hour or more.
rOptical 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, such as the LCD panel and polarizing plate, and may necessitate their replacement
within less than one year of use. For details, consult your dealer.
rLamp
The luminous source of the projector is a mercury lamp with high internal pressure.
A high pressure mercury lamp has following characteristics.
f The brightness of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage.
f The lamp may burst with sound or shorten life by shock or chipping.
f The life of the lamp varies greatly depending on individual specicities and usage conditions. In particular, continuous use
over 6 hours and frequent on/off switching of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and affect the lamp life.
f In rare cases, the lamp burst shortly after the projection.
f The risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace the lamp unit
consistently. (“When to replace the lamp unit” (x page 96), "Replacing the lamp unit" (x page 97))
f If the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in a form of smoke.
f It is recommended to store replacement lamps for contingency.
rComputer and external device connections
f When connecting a computer or an external device, read this manual carefully regarding the use of power cords and
shielded cables as well.
Notes on Using Wireless Connection
Wireless connection function of the projector uses radio waves in the 2.4 GHz band.
A radio station license is not required, but be sure to read and fully understand the following items before use.
The wireless module (Model No.: ET-WML100) of optional accessories must be installed when you want to use the wireless
LAN function of this projector.
r Do not use near other wireless equipment.
The following equipment may use radio waves in the same band as the projector.
When the projector is used near these devices, radio wave interference may make communication impossible, or the
communication speed may become slower.
f Microwave ovens, etc.
f Industrial, chemical and medical equipment, etc.
f In-plant radio stations for identifying moving objects such as those used in factory manufacturing lines, etc.
f Designated low-power radio stations
r If at all possible, avoid the use of cellular phones, TV sets or radios near the projector.
Cellular phones, TV sets, radios and similar devices use different radio bands from the projector, so there is no effect on
wireless communication or the transmission and reception of these devices. However, radio waves from the projector may
produce audio or video noise.
r Wireless communication radio waves cannot penetrate steel reinforcements, metal, concrete, etc.
Communication is possible through walls and oors made from materials such as wood and glass (except
wire mesh), but not through walls and oors made from steel reinforcements, metal, concrete, etc.
glass containing
r Avoid using the projector in locations prone to static electricity.

Please use the wireless LAN feature in compliance with the laws of each country.
Note
f The wireless module (Model No.: ET-WML100) of the optional accessories is required if you want to use the wireless LAN
function of this projector.
About Wireless LANs
The advantage of a wireless LAN is that information can be exchanged between a PC or other such equipment and an
access point using radio waves as long as you are within range for radio transmissions.
On the other hand, because the radio waves can travel through obstacles (such as walls) and are available everywhere
within a given range, problems of the type listed below may occur if security-related settings are not made.
f A malicious third-part may intentionally intercept and monitor transmitted data including the content of e-mail and
personal information such as your ID, password, and/or credit card numbers.
f A malicious third-party may access your personal or corporate network without authorization and engage in the following
types of behavior.
Retrieve personal and/or secret information (information leak)
Spread false information by impersonating a particular person (spoong)
Overwrite intercepted communications and issue false data (tampering)
Spread harmful software such as a computer virus and crash your data and/or system (system crash)
Since most wireless LAN adapters or access points are equipped with security features to take care of these problems, you
can reduce the possibility of these problems occurring when using this product by making the appropriate security settings
for the wireless LAN device.
Some wireless LAN devices may not be set for security immediately after purchase. To decrease the possibility of
occurrence of security problems, before using any wireless LAN devices, be absolutely sure to make all security-related
settings according to the instructions given in the operation manuals supplied with them.
Depending on the specications of the wireless LAN, a malicious third-party may be able to break security settings by
special means.
Panasonic asks customers to thoroughly understand the risk of using this product without making security settings, and
recommends that the customer make security settings at their own discretion and responsibility.
Disposal
When disposing of the product, ask your local authority or dealer about the correct methods of disposal.
The lamp contains mercury. When disposing of the used lamp unit, ask your nearest local authorities or dealer about proper
disposal of the unit.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions or your local disposal rule or guidelines.

Projection distance formulas
To use a screen size not listed in this manual, check the screen size SD (m) and use the respective formula to calculate
projection distance.
The unit of all the formulae is m. (Values obtained by the following calculation formulae contain a slight error.)
If you want to calculate the projection distance with projected image size SD (unit: inch) by substituting, please assign 0.0254
times to the SD value.
For PT-TW342
4:3 aspect ratio 16:9 aspect ratio 16:10 aspect ratio
Screen height (SH) = 0.6 × SD = 0.490 × SD = 0.530 × SD
Screen width (SW) = 0.8 × SD = 0.872 × SD = 0.848 × SD
Projection distance (L) = 0.4625 × SD - 0.0339 = 0.4188 × SD - 0.0339 = 0.4085 × SD - 0.0339
For PT-TX402 and PT-TX312
4:3 aspect ratio 16:9 aspect ratio
Screen height (SH) = 0.6 × SD = 0.490 × SD
Screen width (SW) = 0.8 × SD = 0.872 × SD
Projection distance (L) = 0.3846 × SD - 0.0339 = 0.4188 × SD - 0.0339

Chapter 2 Getting Started - Connecting
Connecting
Before connecting
f Before connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected.
f Turn off the power switch of the devices before connecting cables.
f Take note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.
- 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.
- 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.
- When connecting cables, connect GND rst, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting device in a straight manner.
f If any connection cable is not supplied with the device, or if no optional cable is available for connection of the device,
prepare a necessary system connection cable to suit the device.
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, S-video signals and YC
signals are TTL level), and digital signal.
f Some computer models or graphics cards are not compatible with the projector.
f When using long cables to connect with each of equipment to the projector, there is a possibility that the image will not be
output correctly unless a compensator is used.
f For details on what video signals the projector supports, see “List of compatible signals”. (x page 105)
