CAUTION: Please read all of these instructions before you operate your LCD
Projector. Save these instructions for future reference.
Important Safeguards
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This LCD Projector has been engineered and manufactured to
meet applicable safety standards. But IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT IN POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE
HAZARDS. In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated into this LCD Projector, observe the following basic rules
for its installation, use and servicing.
1Unplug the LCD Projector from the wall outlet before cleaning.
2Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the LCD Projector
unit. If the unit is very dirty, wet a cloth with neutral detergent, squeeze it tight, wipe the unit with
it, and finish by wiping with a dry cloth. Do not use a chemical duster or polisher-cleaner
because it can adversely affect the unit and peel the paint coat.
3Do not use attachments not recommended by Panasonic, as they may cause hazards.
4Do not use the LCD Projector near water; for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,
laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc. Never spill liquid into the LCD
Projector.
5Do not place the LCD Projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The LCD Projector may fall,
which may cause serious injury to a child or an adult, and/or serious damage to the unit. Use
only with a cart or stand recommended by its manufacturer, as being suitable for use with the
LCD Projector.
6Ceiling, wall or shelf mounting for installation should use a mounting kit approved
by the manufacturer for use with the LCD Projector and should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
7The LCD Projector equipment and cart combinations should be moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the equipment and cart combination to
overturn.
8Slots and openings in the cabinet back and bottom are provided for ventilation. To ensure
reliable operation of the LCD Projector and to protect it from overheating, these openings must
not be blocked or covered. These openings should never be covered with cloth or other
material. The bottom opening should not be blocked by placing the LCD Projector on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The LCD Projector should not be placed near or over a
radiator or heating vent. The LCD Projector should not be placed in a built-in installation such as
a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.
9The LCD Projector should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the back
of the LCD Projector or in the specifications. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to
your home, consult your LCD Projector dealer or local power company.
10
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not place the LCD Projector where the cord will
be walked on.
11 Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the LCD Projector.

12 As a safety feature, the LCD Projector is equipped with a 3-prong grounded plug. The 3-prong
grounded plug will fit only into a grounding type power outlet. If the plug does not fit, use an
adaptor that is properly grounded or have an electrician install a grounded type outlet. Do not
attempt to modify this AC plug.
13 For added protection of the LCD Projector during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended
or not in use for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect any cable
systems. This will prevent damage to the projector due to lightning and power-line surges.
14 Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords with too many products, because this can
result in fire or electric shock.
15 Never push objects of any kind into the LCD Projector through cabinet slots as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts, which could result in a fire or electric shock.
16 Do not attempt to service the LCD Projector yourself. Opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
17 Unplug the LCD Projector equipment from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
A. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled into the LCD Projector.
C. If the LCD Projector has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the LCD Projector does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions; improper adjustment
of other controls may cause damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the LCD Projector to normal operation.
E. If the LCD Projector has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
F. When the LCD Projector exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a need for
service.
18 Upon completion of any service or repairs to the LCD Projector, ask the service technician to
perform a routine safety check to determine that the LCD Projector is in safe operating
condition.
19 When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement
parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
20 Air filter should be cleaned every 100 lamp on hours.
The LCD Projector may become too hot if filter is not cleaned when required.
21 If lens becomes dirty, or smudged, clean with a clean, dampened cloth. Never touch the lens
with your fingers.
22 Do not look directly into the aperture and lens while operating as this may result in damage to
your eyes.
23 Do not look into the red Laser Pointer transmitter, or aim the Laser beam at a person. Shining
the Laser beam into the eyes could result in eye damage.

Screen Requirements
This Projector is used to project the image onto flat screens. However, the brightness and viewable range will vary
depending on which type of screen is used.
When selecting a screen, check the characteristics of the screen to ensure that it is suitable for the intended place of
use.
Screen characteristics (reference)
Screen type Screen characteristics
White screen
This type of screen can be seen from anywhere,
so there are no limits on the viewing position.
However, the surrounding walls should be
darkened as in a movie theater, otherwise a
clear picture cannot be obtained.
Silver screen
This type of screen gives a picture which is 2-4
times brighter than a white screen. A variety of
types are available from different manufacturers,
and each type has different brightness
characteristics. Some also have restrictions on
the possible range of viewing positions.
* Care should be taken with screens that have
a high gain, as these types of screen can
cause color distortion at the left and right
edges.
* This type of screen is recommended when the
Projector is suspended from the ceiling.
Beaded screen
This type of screen is similar to the silver
screen, except that no color distortion occurs
at the left and right edges. Moreover, most of
the light is reflected at the same angle as the
angle of incidence.
* This type of screen is recommended when
the Projector is placed on the floor.
Flexible
translucent screen
This type of screen is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride).
It has the same characteristics as silver screens, but sometimes it can have hot
spots.
This type of screen is made of acrylic plastic.
It is extremely durable and has excellent optical characteristics. It performs in the
same way as silver screens.

• A Polarized screen can not be use for this LCD Projector, because its polarizing effect will add to the polarization
already designed into the Projector (to increase its efficiency). The resulting image will not appear in its true
color.
Note
English
- 16
Standard Setting-up Positions
The screen should be positioned so that it is not directly touched by sunlight or room light as this will wash out the colors
of the picture making it hard to see. When possible, close all blinds, curtains, etc. and dim the lights. Also, the LCD
Projector should be at a 90° angle to the screen for the best picture results. To determine the distance for the desired
size, please refer to the LCD Projector/Screen Relationship Chart below.
(By using the tele zoom feature, you can increase the throw distance.)
•Your LCD Projector is
equipped with an image
reverse feature. (See page
14.)
LCD Projector /Screen Relative Position Chart
The picture can be adjusted to the desired size within the range of the zoom lens.
(This chart is based on a reduction ratio of X1)
•If the LCD Projector and the screen are not properly placed, the picture will be distorted
producing a keystoned image as shown at right.

Setting the Projector up horizontally
If the Projector is not set up so that it is horizontal, it will not be possible to obtain a distortion-free picture. If placing the
Projector on top of a table or similar surface, carry out the following procedure below to ensure that no distortion of the
picture occurs.
Note
Retracting the adjustable legs
After lifting the front of the Projector slightly, press and hold the adjuster buttons and then gently lower the Projector.
• Adjustment procedure
1Lift the front of the Projector until the Projector as a whole is
horizontal. While holding it in this position, press the adjuster
buttons under the sides of the Projector (1 each at left and
right). When the buttons are pressed, the left and right
adjustable legs will drop down until they reach the setting-up
surface.
•Do not release the buttons until both legs have reached the
setting-up surface.
2Release the adjuster buttons. (The adjustable legs will lock
as soon as the buttons are released.)
3Turn the adjustable legs by hand in either direction to make
fine adjustments to the level of the Projector so that the
Projector is perfectl horizontal.
•The legs can be extended by up to 52 mm. If you try to
extend them any further than this, they will merely spin
freely.
Caution: When you set up the LCD Projector
•Do not place it in humid or dusty places, or places where the air is sooty or full of cigarette smoke. If the lens, mirror,
or other optical components become dirty, the picture will blur or darken, making viewing difficult.
•Do not expose to extreme heat or cold. Operating temperature: 5°C – 40°C (41°F – 104°F)
