Panasonic Corporation or its affiliate companies will never ask for your password directly. Do not divulge your password in 

case you receive such inquiries.

Set a password for the web control and restrict the users who can log in.

“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 verified with the 

DIGITAL LINK compatible projector, refer to Panasonic website (http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/). Note that the verification 

for devices of other manufacturers has been made for the items set by Panasonic Corporation, and not all the operations have 

been verified. For operation or performance problems caused by the devices of other manufacturers, contact the respective 

manufacturers.

To dispose of the product, ask your local authorities or dealer for correct methods of disposal.

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.

r

If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto 

the screen.

r

 

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.

r

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.

r

 

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.

r

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.
