							High Durability for 
Long-Lasting Brightness
New Inorganic Materials Add Durability to 
the Optical Block
The F300 Series projectors’
optical block maintains a high
level of performance over
time, due to the use of inor-
ganic materials in the LCD
panels and polarizers. It also
makes them the logical choice
for a truly dependable LCD
projector system.
Auto Cleaning Filter to Minimize Maintenance
Panasonic’s proprietary Auto
Cleaning Filter (ACF) uses a
highly efficient electrostatic
filter called the Micro Cut
Filter. The ACF brushes away
dust that adheres to the filter,
which helps prevent clogging
that can impair operation or
cause malfunction. This helps
maintain the Micro Cut Filter’s
superior dust-collecting per-
formance and, coupled with adust-resistant design, minimizes brightness loss
due to dust accumulation. As a result, the filter does
not need to be replaced for over 10,000 hours,*
1
greatly reducing the hassle of maintenance.
Dust-Resistant Design
In developing the dust-resistant
design, Panasonic totally re-engi-
neered the airflow path, from intake
to exhaust, to create a cabinet that
hermetically seals off the projector
interior. This design and the ACF
team up to keep the air inside the
projector clean for long periods of
time and minimize any brightness
degradation.
5,000-Hour Lamp Life
Lamps used in a projector require much higher precision than ordinary
household lamps. Panasonic employs a number of advanced technologies
— including a proprietary lamp drive system—that help maintain optimal
lamp performance for longer-lasting brightness. This has resulted in a
5,000-hour*
2lamp replacement cycle.
Performance You Can Count On
1
In addition to being bright and easy to use, the PT-F300 Series LCD projectors give you
enhanced performance with minimal maintenance over time. Highly reliable optical block and
a long operating life are ensured by the use of inorganic materials for the LCD panels and
polarizers.  The new Auto Cleaning Filter (ACF) extends the filter replacement cycle to over
10,000 hours,
*1and together with the dust-resistant design boost reliability.
ACF unitACF brush
Micro Cut Filter
A highly efficient electrostatic filter in the air intake
section traps dust particles that are 1 micron or
larger. By capturing approximately seven times as
more dust than conventional filters, it guards the
optical block and reduces the penetration of dust
into the interior to provide stable operation and halt
drops in brightness.

Inorganic LCD Panels
The front panel covers the lens to protect
from dust, and conceals the controls to pre-
vent accidental misoperation. It can be
opened for easy access to controls even
after the projector is mounted to the ceiling.
*1 The replacement cycle given here is a guideline. It may be shorter depending on the usage
environment.
*2 This is a maximum value calculated by continuously turning the lamp on for 3.5 hours and off
for 0.5 hour. The lamp replacement cycle will decrease if the lamp is turned on/off more fre-
quently, or if it is left on for longer intervals.

Looking to Replace Your Projectors?
Full of Features for Smooth Replacements
PT-F300 Series projectors make ideal replacements in existing systems. The 2x zoom lens and hor-
izontal/vertical lens shift expand the applicable installation area, so you can place them in the same
exact locations as your previous projectors. Abundant interfaces minimize additional cabling when
replacing projectors. Using serial input and the Emulate function, you can continue to use the con-
trol commands of previous Panasonic models. The LAN terminals support PJLink
™class 1 connec-
tion for easy control when used in a multi-projector system. All of this means that the PT-F300
Series is your best choice both as a first-time projector and as a replacement. 
						

							Brightness of 4,000/3,500 lumens
A high-performance optical system combines with a high-efficiency 250 W
UHM lamp to deliver a high brightness of 4,000 lumens (PT-F300NTU
and PT-F300U) or 3,500 lumens (PT-FW300NTU and PT-FW300U). All
models deliver crisp, bright images that are easy for the audience to see.
Daylight View 5 Gives Better Color Perception for Easy
Viewing in Various Lighting Conditions
The PT-F300 Series features Panasonic’s Daylight
View 5 technology. Remarkable detail is provided
and perceived brightness and contrast are en-
hanced,*
3so images appear crisp, vivid, 3-dimensional and easy to see even
in brightly lit rooms. Sharp edges are achieved with the “Edge Enhancer
Control” and “Gamma Curve Control,” while the perceived contrast is
improved by extending the white level. Daylight View 5 operates in combina-
tion with a built-in ambient light sensor that automatically detects room
brightness and adjusts operation accordingly.
Wide Images (PT-FW300NTU/FW300U)
The PT-FW300NTU and PT-FW300U feature wide-aspect LCD panels,
which allow native reproduction of WXGA (1,280 x 800) images from a PC.
This provides a visually powerful display of wide-screen images from DVD
sources, as well as wide-screen images from wide-aspect PCs, which are
now the mainstream.
Side-by-Side Function (PT-FW300NTU/FW300U)
The PT-FW300NTU and PT-FW300U can simultaneously display images
from two sources*4onto a single
screen. For example, you can
display a PC image on the right
and a video image on the left.
Taking advantage of the wide-
screen projection, this function
gives you a host of new applica-
tion possibilities to explore.
Wide 2x Zoom and Horizontal/Vertical Lens Shift Give
You More Installation Flexibility 
Every model can project a 120-inch image from any distance between 
3.6 m (11.8 feet) and 7.2 m (23.6 feet).*5In new installations, this lets you
accommodate a wide range of room sizes and shapes. And when replacing
existing projectors, the 2x zoom greatly enhances your ease of installation
and can reduce costs by permitting the use of existing mounting positions
and cablings.
Wired LAN: Web Browser Control/Monitoring, E-Mail
Message Alert 
Anyone can operate a PT-F300 Series
projector by remote control or monitor its
status over a LAN network, because it is
all done using the computer’s familiar
web browser. Furthermore, the projector
sends an e-mail message to notify the
operator when an error has occurred, or a
lamp needs to be replaced.
Controlling and Monitoring Multiple Projectors
Panasonic’s original Multi Projector
Monitoring and Control freeware*6
allows the user to control and moni-
tor up to 1,024 projectors via LAN
from a remote location. If a problem
occurs, an alarm message is sent to
the controlling/monitoring PC.
Abundant Connection Terminals
Designed for versatility, each projector comes equipped with a host of
connection terminals, including a DVI-D input *7and LAN terminal.Using
the serial input, you can continue to use the control commands of previous
Panasonic models with the Emulate function. This makes replacement quick
and easy. Upon preference, audio out terminal can still be used during
standby mode, so you can output audio without turning the projector on.

When projecting images from a source with a wide aspect ratio onto a 4:3 screen, the pro-
jector reduces the image to use only 75% of the screen area. Also, wide-screen projection
makes it possible to display larger images where room for the screen height is limited.

*4 This function is not effective for some source combinations. 
With the wide-aspect-ratio capability, you can
project two large 4:3 images side by side. 
						

							Direct Power Off
You can turn off the room’s main power without waiting for the projector to
cool down, because the fan keeps operating until the lamp returns to room
temperature.
Easy Lamp Replacement
For easier maintenance, you can replace the lamp from the rear. The
lamp is easily replaced even after the projector is installed on the ceiling.
Furthermore, Panasonic PT-F300 Series projectors use the same lamp as
the Panasonic PT-F100/F200 Series projectors, for efficient lamp pur-
chase planning.
Easy Wireless Projection from Multiple PCs 
(PT-FW300NTU/F300NTU)
With wireless capability, you don’t need cables to connect a PC. That
means it’s easy to bring in a laptop (with a wireless LAN function) and
deliver a smooth, hassle-free presentation. You can make the settings for
wireless connection quickly and easily using Wireless Manager ME 5.5
software. When the presentation is finished, Wireless Manager restores the
PC to its previous LAN settings, so the PC is ready to reconnect to your
LAN. Functions include Live mode and Multi-Live mode. In Live mode, the
image projected is identical to the image seen on the PC screen. In Multi-
Live mode, you can wirelessly connect with multiple PCs.*

							NOTES ON USE
• The projector uses a high-voltage mercury lamp that contains high internal pressure.
This lamp may break, emitting a large sound, or fail to illuminate, due to impact or
extended use. The length of time that it takes for the lamp to break or fail to illumi-
nate varies greatly depending on individual lamp characteristics and usage conditions.
• The brightness of the lamp will gradually decrease with use.
• The projector includes consumable parts. The frequency of replacement for the lamp
and other consumable parts will increase if the projector is subjected to extended,
continuous use. For details, please consult a service representative.
