							Excellent Performance in a Compact Body
High Brightness and High Contrast in a Lightweight Body
A brightness level ranging from 2,800 lm*1 to 3,700 lm*1 and contrast ratio of 10,000:1 
have been achieved in a compact lightweight body. Clear and bright images enhance the 
learning and working experience.
A Maximum 8,000-Hour*2 Lamp Replacement Cycle*3
It enables to operate for up to 8,000 hours*2 without needing 
to be replaced. This also helps reduce maintenance and 
operating costs. 
A Long-Life Filter with a Maximum 5,000-Hour*3 
Replacement Cycle
A long-life air filter has a replacement cycle of 5,000 hours. This 
reduces maintenance hassles for long periods of use, and helps 
to lower maintenance costs.
Quiet 28-dB*2 Design Helps to Hold Viewers’ Attention
The noise level is as low as 28 dB. This helps your audience to keep their attention on 
the discussion or on the screen images during quiet scenes.
Daylight View Lite
The Daylight View Lite function can be 
activated from the remote control for 
easy and comfortable viewing during 
presentations and lectures in a bright 
room.
Ease of Installation
Corner Keystone Correction*4 Enables Angled Projection
All you need to do is designate four points as the corners of the projected image, and 
this function easily carries out horizontal and vertical keystone correction.
1.2x Zoom Lens Allows Flexible Installation
The 1.2x zoom lens lets the projector support a wide range of projection distances.
Curved Screen Correction*4
Barrel and pincushion distortions are easily corrected when projecting onto a curved screen.
Multiple Unit Monitoring Capability*5
Multi Projector Monitoring and Control Software is available for monitoring and controlling 
multiple Panasonic projectors from a single PC.
Projection distance  unit: feet [meters]

1. The projector uses a high-voltage mercury lamp under high internal pressure. This lamp may break, emitting a popping 
sound, or fail to illuminate, due to impact or extended use.
2. The high-wattage lamp becomes very hot during operation. Please observe the following precautions:
    • Never place objects on top of the projector while it is in operation.  
    • Make sure there is an unobstructed space of 1000 mm(3 ft 3 in) or more around the projector’s exhaust openings. 
    • If stacking projector units, care must be taken to provide the recommended space between units. These space 
requirements also apply to installation where only one projector unit is operating at one time and the other unit is used 
as a backup.      • If the projector is placed in a box or enclosure, the temperature of the air surrounding the projector must match the 
operating temperature listed in the specifications table during use. Also, make sure the projector’s intake and exhaust 
openings are not blocked.  Ensure there is sufficient ventilation to prevent hot air from the exhaust openings being 
recirculated into the intake opening.
3. The lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter if the projector is operated repeatedly for short periods.
    • The lamp replacement cycle varies greatly depending on individual lamp characteristics and usage conditions.
    • The brightness of the lamp will gradually decrease with use.
4. 
Due to natural characteristics of lamps, screen brightness may fluctuate. This is not an indication of faulty lamp performance.
