Using the remote control
Inserting and removing the batteries
(i)
(ii)
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
1) Open the cover. (Fig. 1)
2) Insert the batteries and close the cover (insert the m side first). (Fig. 2)
 fWhen removing the batteries, perform the steps in reverse order.
Setting the remote control ID numbers
When you use the system with multiple projectors, you can operate all th\
e projectors simultaneously or each projector individually using single \
remote control, if a unique ID number is assigned to each projector
.
After setting the ID number of the projector, set same ID number on the remote control.
The factory default ID number of the projector is set to [ALL]. When usi\
ng a single projector, press the  button on the 
remote control. Also, you can control a projector if you press the  button on the remote control even if you do not know the 
projector ID.
How to set
1) Press the  button on the remote control.
2) Within five seconds, press the one-digit ID number set on the projector u\
sing the number ( - ) 
buttons.
 f If you press the  button, you can control the projectors regardless of the ID number \
setting of the projector
.
Attention
 fSince the ID number of the remote control can be set without the project\
or, do not press the  button carelessly
. If the  
button is pressed and no number ( - ) buttons are pressed within five seconds, the ID number returns to its original value before the 
 button was pressed.
 f The ID number set on the remote control will be stored unless it is set \
again. However, it will be erased if the remote control is left with dead 
batteries. Set the same ID number again when the batteries are replaced.\
Note
 fSet the ID number of the projector from the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu 
→ [PROJECT
OR ID] (
x page 69).

Projection distance formulas
To use a screen size not listed in this manual, check the screen size SD (m) and use the following formula to calculate projection distance.
The unit of the formula is m. (The values of the following calculation results contain slight error .)
For PT-RZ370U
4:3 aspect ratio16:9 aspect ratio16:10 aspect ratio
Screen size Height (SH) = SD x 0.6= SD x 0.490 = SD x 0.530
Screen size Width (SW) = SD x 0.8= SD x 0.872 = SD x 0.848
Min. projection distance (LW) = 1.5854 x SD - 0.0544= 1.2955 x SD - 0.0544= 1.4004 x SD - 0.0544
Max. projection distance (LT) = 3.1589 x SD - 0.0408= 2.5812 x SD - 0.0408= 2.7904 x SD - 0.0408
For PT-RW330U
4:3 aspect ratio16:9 aspect ratio16:10 aspect ratio
Screen size Height (SH) = SD x 0.6= SD x 0.490 = SD x 0.530
Screen size Width (SW) = SD x 0.8= SD x 0.872 = SD x 0.848
Min. projection distance (LW) = 1.4984 x SD - 0.0542= 1.3604 x SD - 0.0542= 1.3236 x SD - 0.0542
Max. projection distance (LT) = 2.9851 x SD - 0.0407= 2.7102 x SD - 0.0407= 2.6369 x SD - 0.0407
Adjusting adjustable feet
Install the projector on a flat 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 i\
n a horizontal direction.
Extend the adjustable feet by rotating in the direction shown in the figure and retract by rotating in the opposite direction.

Connecting
Before connecting
 fBefore connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for the ext\
ernal device to be connected.
 fTurn of

f the power of all devices before connecting cables.
 fTake note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure t\
o do so may result in malfunctions.
 gWhen connecting a cable to a device connected to the projector or the pr\
ojector itself, touch any nearby metallic objects to eliminate static 
electricity from your body before performing work.
 gDo 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 m\
akes it act like an antenna, it is more susceptible to noise.
 g When connecting cables, connect GND first, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting device in a straight manner
. fAcquire 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.
 fVideo signals containing too much jitter may cause the images on the scre\
en to randomly wobble or wafture. In this case, a time base 
corrector (TBC) must be connected.
 fThe projector accepts video signals, analog RGB signals (synchronous signals are 
TTL level), and digital signals.
 fSome computer models are not compatible with the projector.
 fUse a cable compensator when you connect devices to the projector using \
long cables. Otherwise the image may not display properly
.
 fRefer to “List of compatible signals” (
x page 121) for the types of video signals that can be used with the projector\

Connecting example: Twisted-pair-cable transmitter
Twisted-pair-cable transmitters such as the optional digital interface box (Model No.: ET-YFB100G) use twisted-pair-cables to transmit input 
audio and video signals, and the projector can input those digital signa\
ls to the  terminal.

Attention
 fAlways use one of the following when connecting a VCR. gA VCR with built-in time base corrector (TBC) gA time base corrector (TBC) between the projector and the VCR fIf nonstandard burst signals are connected, the image may be distorted. In such case, connect the time base corrector (TBC) between the 
projector.
 fUse a commercial HDMI/DVI conversion cable with a ferrite core. fAsk a qualified technician or your dealer to install the cable wiring for a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector connection. Image 
and sound may be disrupted if cable transmission characteristics can not be obtained due to inadequate installation.
 fFor the LAN cable between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the proje\
ctor, use a cable that meets the following criteria: gCompatible with CAT5e or higher gShielded type (including connectors) gStraight-through gSingle wire fWhen laying cables between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the proj\
ector, check that cable characteristics are compatible with CA

T5e 
or higher using tools such as a cable tester or cable analyzer.
When using a relay connector midway, include it in the measurement.
 f Do not use a hub between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projec\
tor. fWhen connecting to the projector using a twisted-pair-cable transmitter (receiver) of other company
, do not place another twisted-pair-
cable transmitter in between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter of other\
 company and the projector. 

This may cause sound and image to be 
disrupted.
 f Do not pull cables forcefully. 

Also, do not bend or fold cables unnecessarily.
 fTo reduce noise, stretch out the cables between the twisted-pair-cable tr\
ansmitter and the projector without any loops as much as possible 
before setting them up and using them.
 fLay the cables between a twisted-pair cable transmitter and the projecto\
r away from other cables, particularly power cables. fWhen installing multiple cables, run them side by side along the shortes\
t distance possible without bundling them together. fAfter laying the cables, confirm that the [SIGNAL QUALITY] value is displayed in green to indicate normal quality using the [NETWORK] 
menu 
→ [DIGIT

AL LINK STATUS]. ( x
 page 89)
Note
 fFor an HDMI cable, use an HDMI High Speed cable that conforms to HDMI st\
andards. If a cable that does not conform to HDMI standards 
is used, images may be interrupted or may not be displayed.
 fThe projector does not support VIERA Link (HDMI). fThe maximum transmission distance between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector is 100 m (328'1"). If this distance is 
exceeded, image and sound may be disrupted and may cause a malfunction i\
n LAN communication. Please note that we do not support the 
use of the projector outside the maximum transmission distance.
 fWith some exceptions, operation with twisted-pair-cable transmitters of \
other companies is not guaranteed. For support of devices of other 
companies, refer to Panasonic website (http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/).
