Product Outline
This is a high-luminance DLPTM based projector which is powered by a single-phase, 3-wire type 200 V – 240 V
power supply. It utilizes three RGB DMDTMchips and a high-output xenon lamp. By fitting a projection lens and
input module (sold separately) in accordance with the setting-up location and the type of input signal, it can project
images onto screens from 100 inches (2.5 m) to 600 inches (15 m) in size.
By installing an input module (sold separately), the unit can handle various types of RGB signals, chrominance
signals for high-vision TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signalling)-type digital interface, and also NTSC,
NTSC4.43, PAL, SECAM, PAL-M, PAL60, PAL-N video signals, Y/C signals and serial digital (SDI) signals.etc.
Besides this, the projector is equipped with an RS-232C / RS-422 connector so that it can be controlled by means
of a personal computer or signal selector.
Other functions available include selection of the projection method (ceiling/floor/rear), an ID number assignment
function which is useful for controlling multiple projectors simultaneously, keystone(trapezoidal distortion)correction
and a lens focus/position adjustment (optical axis shift) function. All settings and adjustments during the setting-up
process can be carried out easily by using on-screen menus.
In addition, a self-diagnosis display function is also provided. This function generates and displays a two-digit error
code to notify you if a problem occurs with operation of the projector.
DMD
TMchip’s aspect ratio is 4:3 on the PT-D9510U or 5:4 on the PT-D9610U.
Features
A contrast of 1 000 : 1 (Contrast mode; When super), which match that of e-cinema is realized using a new 1 600
W xenon lamp and luminous control technology.
The unit can be controlled from a PC using a LAN interface. This equipment has a function for automatically sending
e-mail when the equipment is abnormal, so a system for remote control or central control can be easily realized.
The projector utilizes a DLPTM(Digital Light Processing) system which incorporates an 0.9-inch(for the PT-D9510U)/1.1-
inch (for the PT-D9610U) DMDTM(Digital Micromirror Device) having a display resolution of 1 024 x 768 dots(for the 
PT-D9510U)/1 280 x 1 024 dots(for the PT-D9610U) that produces a three-layer image from R, G and B layers. 
This system produces images with high resolution and color reproduction which is faithful to the source. Because it can
handle dot clock frequencies ranging from 20 MHz to 162 MHz, computer images with signal resolutions of up to 1 600
x 1 200 dots can also be input. However, if the display resolution is greater than 1024 x 768 dots(for the 
PT-D9510U)/1 280 x 1 024 dots (for the PT-D9610U), A-PIC (Advanced Panasonic Intelligent Compression)
automatically converts the image to a resolution of 1024 x 768 dots(for the PT-D9510U)/1 280 x 1 024 dots(for the PT-
D9610U)without causing any lines or characters to disappear, and without causing any flickering.

voltage indicated (single-phase, 3-wire, 200 V–240 VAC)
• If the wrong power supply is connected, the projector may malfunction, and fire or electric shocks may result.
A special ceiling mount bracket (sold separately) is required for ceiling installation.
• If suspending the projector from a ceiling, you must purchase and use the special ceiling mount bracket (ET-
PKD95).
Use commercially-available screens.
• Select a screen which matches the projection method to be used and the place of use.
Keep external light away from the screen.
• Do not allow light from any sources other than the projector fall on the screen. If the screen is illuminated by such
external light, the projected image will lose its high contrast and will not be so easy to see.
Allow enough space around the projector for maintenance to be carried out.
• Leave at least 80 cm / 2.6 feet of free space on all sides of the projector to allow enough room for adjustments
and maintenance to be carried out.
Always connect to a secure earth.
• Connect an earth wire to the earthing screw marked with      next to the
MAIN POWER switch. Then connect this earth wire to a secure earthing
terminal somewhere inside the room.
If the projector is used without the earth wire connected, electric shocks may
result.

When using the projector
Do not look into the lens while the projector is being used.
• Strong light is emitted from the projector‘s lens. If you look directly into this light, it can hurt and damage your
eyes.
Do not place the projector on top of surfaces which are sloped or unstable.
• The projector may fall down or tip over.
Do not place any objects on top of the projector.
• If water spills onto the projector or foreign objects get inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could result in fire
or electric shocks. If any foreign objects get inside the projector, please consult an Authorized Service Center.
Do not stick any foreign objects into the projector.
• Do not insert any metal objects or flammable objects into the ventilation holes or drop them onto the projector, as
doing so can cause fire or electric shocks to occur.
Do not cover the air outlet.
• Doing so may cause the projector to overheat, which can cause fire or damage to the projector.
Do not remove the cover or modify it in any way.
• High voltages which can cause severe electric shocks are present inside the projector. For any inspection,
adjustment and repair work, please contact an Authorized Service Center.
Do not spill water on the projector.
• This can cause fire or electric shocks to occur.
Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go.
• If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which could cause fire. If the plug is damaged or the wall
socket plate is loose, they should not be used.
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
• Doing so may cause electric shocks to occur.
Do not do anything that might damage the power cable.
• Do not damaged the cable, make any modifications to it, place heavy objects on top of it, heat it, place it near any  
hot objects, twist it, bend it excessively or pull it. To do so may cause  fires and electric shocks to occur. If the
power cable becomes damaged, have it repaired at an Authorized Service Center.
Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it from becoming covered in dust.
• If dust builds up on the power cord plug, the resultant humidity can damage the insulation, which could result in
fire. Pull the power cord out from the wall outlet and wipe it with a dry cloth.
• If not using the projector for an extended period of time, pull the power cord plug out from the wall outlet.
If a problem occurs during use
If a problem occurs (such as no picture), or if smoke or an abnormal odor starts to come out from the
projector, immediately pull the power cord plug out from the wall outlet.
• If you continue to use the projector in this condition, fire or electric shocks could result. After checking that the
smoke has stopped coming out, contact an Authorized Service Center so that the necessary repairs can be
mode. Repairing the projector yourself is extremely dangerous, and it should never be done.
If water or foreign objects get inside the projector, if the projector dropped, or if the cabinet becomes 
damaged, disconnect the power cord plug immediately.
• A short circuit may occur, which could cause fire. Contact an Authorized Service Center for any repairs that need 
to be made.   
Caution!
• Do not reach for the openings beside the optical lens, during horizontal or vertical movements of the lens
there is a injury hazard.

Precautions on handling
CAUTION
Setting-up
The following points should always be observed when setting up this projector.
A dedicated power supply must be used.
• Ask the place of purchase to carry out any electrical work which may be required to provide a 14 A, 200 V - 240 V
AC (single phase) power supply for the projector alone to use.
Avoid setting up in places which are subject to vibration or shocks.
• If the projector is set up in a location with strong vibration, such as near a motor, or if it is installed inside a
vehicle or on board a ship, the projector may be subjected to vibration or shocks which can damage the internal
parts and cause malfunctions or accidents. Accordingly, set up the projector in a place which is free from such
vibrations and shocks.
Do not place the projector near high-voltage power lines or motors.
• If the projector is set up near high-voltage power lines or motors, it may be subjected to electrical interference.
The projection distance will vary depending on the projection lens (sold separately)
which is used.
• Select a projection lens which is suitable for the amount of space available at the setting-up location.
If installing the projector to the ceiling, be sure to have a qualified technician carry out
the work.
• If suspending the projector from the ceiling, you will need to obtain the ceiling mount bracket which is sold
separately. Also be sure to have the work performed by a qualified technician.
Do not move the projector after it has been installed and adjusted.
• After installation and adjustment of the projector have been completed, do not change the distance from the
projector to the screen, and do not move the position of the projector, otherwise the colors may become
unbalanced and readjustment may be necessary. Be particularly careful of this when the projector is installed
using the floor method.
Allow enough space around the projector for maintenance to be carried out.
• Leave at least 80 cm(2.6 feet) of free space on all sides of the projector to allow enough room for adjustments
and maintenance to be carried out.

Notes on use
In order to get the best picture quality
• If outside light or light from indoor lamps is shining onto the screen, the images projected will not have good
contrast. Draw curtains or blinds over any windows, turn off any fluorescent lights near the screen and cover any
highly-reflective floor and wall surfaces with carpet or wallpaper to prevent reflection.
Do not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hands.
• Do not touch your hands against the surface of the lens. If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from fingerprints
or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen.
About the screen
• If the screen you are using is dirty, damaged or discolored, attractive projections cannot be obtained. Do not
apply any volatile substances to the screen, and do not let it become dirty or damaged.
Cleaning and maintenance
Always disconnect the power plug from the power source as a safety precaution before carrying out cleaning
and maintenance.
Wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth.
• If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water with a small amount of neutral detergent in it, squeeze
the cloth very well, and then wipe the cabinet. After cleaning, wipe the cabinet dry with a dry cloth.
If using a chemically-treated cloth, read the instructions supplied with the cloth before use.
Do not wipe the lenses with a cloth that is dusty or which produces lint.
• If any dust or lint gets onto the lenses, such dust or lint will be magnified and projected onto the screen.
Use the blower end of a vacuum cleaner to clean any dust and lint from the lens surfaces, or use a clean, soft
cloth to wipe off any dust or lint.
When wiping the surface of the lens, be sure to wipe in a single direction. If you move the cloth over the lens
surface in different directions, it may cause any dirt to be rubbed into the surface of the lens instead of being
cleaned away.
