 projector.   
						

							Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
ENGLISH - 15
Precautions for use
Cautions when transporting
 fWhen transporting the projector , hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impac\
ts. They may damage 
the internal components and result in malfunctions.
 f Do not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing \
so may damage the adjustable feet.
Cautions when installing
 rDo not set up the projector outdoors.
The projector is designed for indoor use only.
 rDo not set up the projector in the following locations.
 fPlaces where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Do\
ing so may cause damage to internal components 
or malfunction.
 fNear the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may fluctuate in rare cases due 
to the hot air from the air exhaust port or the heated or cooled air

. Make sure that the exhaust from the projector or other 
equipment, or the air from the air conditioner does not blow toward the front of the projector .
 fPlaces with sharp temperature fluctuations such as near lights (studio lamps): Doing so may result in deformation of the 
projector body due to heat, which may cause malfunctions.
The operating environment temperature of the projector should be between 0

  °C (32   °F) and 45   °C (113   °F) when using it at 
elevations lower than 1
  400   m (4   593') above sea level, and between 0   °C (32   °F) and 40   °C (104   °F) when using it at high 
altitudes (1
  400   m (4   593') or higher – lower than 2   700   m (8   858') above sea level).
 fNear high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere wit\
h the operation of the projector

.
 fPlace where there is high-power laser equipment: Directing a laser beam onto the lens surface causes damage to the DLP  
chips.
 r Be sure to ask a specialized technician or your dealer when installing t\
he projector to 
a ceiling.
The optional Ceiling Mount Bracket is required.
Model No.: ET
-

PKR100H (for High Ceilings), ET
-
 PKR100S (for Low Ceilings), ET
-
 PKR100P (for portrait)
 rAsk a qualified technician or your dealer to install the cable wiring for DIGIT AL  LINK 
connection.
Image and sound may be disrupted if cable transmission characteristics cannot be obtained due to inadequate installation.
 r The projector may not work properly due to strong radio wave from the br\
oadcast 
station or the radio.
If there is any facility or equipment, which outputs strong radio wave, near the installation location, install the projector at a 
location sufficiently far from the source of the radio wave. Or, wrap the LAN cable connected to the  
terminal by using a piece of metal foil or a metal pipe, of which is gro\
unded at both ends.
 rFocus adjustment
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. Wait at least 30 minutes with the image projected before adjusting the fo\
cus.
 rDo not install the projector at elevations of 2   700   m (8   858') or higher above sea level.
Doing so may shorten the life of the components and result in malfunctio\
ns.
 rWhen installing and using the projector at an angle that exceeds 30° \
vertically , set 
[COOLING CONDITION] ( x
  page   79).
Failure to observe this may shorten the life of the components or result\
 in malfunctions.   
						

							Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
16 - ENGLISH
 rDo not use the projector with the connecting terminal side up.
Using the projector at an angle that exceeds the available angle of 210°\
 may result in malfunctions. If setting up the projector 
at an angle that exceeds 210° is required, consult your dealer.

 rCautions when setting up the projector
 fTo install and use the projector via a method that does not use the adjustable feet in a floor standing installation, fix the 
projector using the four screw holes for ceiling mounting (as shown in the figure).
(Screw diameter: M4, tapping depth inside the set: 10
  mm (13/32"), torque: 1.25 ± 0.2   N·m)
Make a clearance of at least 12
  mm (15/32") between the projector bottom and setting surface by inserting spacers (metallic) 
etc. between them.
 f Use the adjustable feet only for the floor standing installation and for adjusting the angle. Using them for other purposes may 
damage the set.
Screw holes for ceiling mount (M4)
Adjustable feet
The positions of screw holes for ceiling mount and adjustable feet
 f Do not stack projectors on top of each other .
 fDo not block the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of the projector .
 fPrevent hot and cool air from the air conditioning system to blow directly to the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of the 
projector

.
500 mm (20) or longer500 mm (20) or longer 500 mm (20) or longer
100 mm (4) or longer
 fDo not install the projector in a confined space.
When it is necessary to install the projector in a confined space, install the air conditioning or ventilation separately . Exhaust 
heat may accumulate when the ventilation is not enough, triggering the p\
rotection circuit of the projector
.

DIGITAL LINK
“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 Pa\
nasonic 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.
Disposal
To dispose of the product, ask your local authorities or dealer for corre\
ct methods of disposal.
Cautions on use
 r To get a good picture quality
 fIn order to view a beautiful image in higher contrast, prepare an approp\
riate environment. Draw curtains or blinds over 
windows and turn of
f any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indo\
or lamps from shining onto the 
screen.
 r Do not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hands.
If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto 
the screen.
 rDLP chips
 fThe DLP chips are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high preci\
sion 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 D\
LP

 chips.
 rLight source
The light source of the projector uses LED and lasers, and has the follo\
wing characteristics.
 fThe luminance of the light source will decrease by duration of usage.
The runtime until when the luminance of the light source decreases by ha\
lf dif

fers depending on the setting of the 
[PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [ECO MANAGEMENT]  → [LIGHT POWER]. It is approximately 27
  000 hours when [LIGHT 
POWER] is set to [NORMAL], approximately 61
  000 hours when set to [ECO1], and approximately 87   000 hours when set 
to [ECO2]. These hours are the estimated durations when the projector is used witho\
ut change in the setting of [LIGHT 
POWER], and these vary depending on individual differences and usage conditions. The runtime is not the warranty time. 
If the light source goes off or the brightness reduces noticeably, ask your dealer about replacement of the light source unit.
 r Computer and external device connections
 fWhen connecting a computer or an external device, read this manual caref\
ully regarding the use of power cords and 
shielded cables as well.
 fWhen inputting digital signals to the  terminal, use a commerc\
ially available cable with a ferrite core.
 rViewing 3D images
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 ext\
ernal 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   135) for the types of 3D video signals that can be used with the projec\
tor.
