NOTE: 
B  You will need to purchase the separate ceiling bracket (ET-PKP1) when 
using the ceiling installation method.
B  Do not set up the projector vertically or tilted horizontally, otherwise it 
may cause damage to the projector.
B  It is recommended that you set up the projector in a place that is tilted 
at less than ±30° vertically. Setting up the projector in places that are
tilted at more than ±30° vertically may shorten component life.

ConnectionsNotes on connectionsBRead the instruction manual for each peripheral device carefully before 
connecting it. 
B  Turn off the power supply for all peripheral devices before making any 
connections.
B  If the cables necessary for connection are not included with the peripheral 
device or available as an option, you may need to prepare a proper cable 
for the device concerned.
B  If there is a lot of jitter in the video signal, the projected image may flicker. 
In such cases, it will be necessary to connect a TBC (time base corrector). 
B  Refer to the list on page 65 for details on compatible signals which can be 
input to the projector. 
B  Only one audio system circuit is available for the AUDIO IN L-R 
connectors, so if you change the audio input source, you will need to 
remove and insert the appropriate plugs.Connecting to computer

Match the “+” surface of the battery 
with the “+” marked side of the
battery holder.
NOTE:BDo not drop the remote control unit. 
B  Keep the remote control unit away from liquids. 
B  Remove the battery if not using the remote control unit for long periods. 
B  Be sure to use a Panasonic CR2025 battery as a replacement. 
B  If the remote control unit is held so that it is facing directly in front of the 
remote control signal receptor, the operating range is within
approximately 7 m (23´) from the surfaces of the receptor. Furthermore,
the remote control unit can be operated from an angle of ±30° to the left
or right and ±15° above or below the receptor.
B  If the buttons on the remote control unit are kept pressed, the battery 
power will be consumed rapidly.
B  If there are any obstacles in between the remote control unit and the 
receptor, the remote control unit may not operate correctly.
B  If strong light is allowed to shine onto the remote control signal receptor, 
correct projector operation may not be possible. Place the projector as
far away from light sources as possible.
B
If facing the remote control unit toward the screen to operate the projector,
the operating range of the remote control unit will be limited by the amount
of light reflection loss caused by the characteristics of the screen used.

Turning on the power
Connect the accessory power cord to the AC IN socket 
and insert the power cord plug into the wall outlet.B The POWER button on the projector will illuminate red.Press the POWER button.BThe POWER button on the projector will flash green. After a short period, it will illuminate green, and a picture will be projected.
BThe input signal indicators will illuminate while the projector is
searching for an input signal (approximately 3 minutes). If the projector
detects an input signal, it will use that signal for projection. If no signal
is detected, the guide screen for computer connection will be
displayed. The input signal search will be finished if the INPUT button
or MENU button is pressed while the guide screen is being displayed.Turn on the power of all connected devices.B Start the play function of a device such as a DVD player.
NOTE: 
B
If the power cord was disconnected during projection when the projector was
used the last time, projection will start after the power cord is connected
.
B  A tinkling sound may be heard when the lamp unit is turned on, but this 
is not a sign of a malfunction.
Press the input select button to select the 
input signal.
Follow the procedure below when you set the projector up first, and when 
you change the setup place.
Press the AUTO SETUP button

corrects the keystone distortion automatically. If the projector is
tilted horizontally, turn the back adjustable leg to adjust the
horizontal tilt. Adjust so that the projected image is placed at the
center of the screen. 
B If the keystone distortion remains, adjust “KEYSTONE” in the  “POSITION ADJUSTMENT” menu. (page 46) 
BA picture will be projected in accordance with the selected input signal
. 
B When YP

Using the SD memory cardInformation on the SD memory card (sold separately)The SD memory card is a semiconductor memory with a size of 24 mm x 
32 mm x 2.1mm, as small as a postage stamp, and is expected to be a next-
generation recording medium that will replace MDs (minidiscs), CDs
(compact discs) and cassette tapes. It allows repetition of data reading,
writing and deleting. This projector can be used to play back still image data
and moving image data that has been recorded by digital cameras as well as
presentation data whose format has been converted by ImageCreator 1.5.Notes on using SD memory cardsB Do not disconnect the power cord and do not remove the SD memory 
card while files are being played back. Failure to observe this may
result in data corruption or data loss.
B  Be sure to make a backup of the data stored in the SD memory card. 
Note that important user data may be subject to potential corruption
although it very rarely occurs.
B  When using a miniSD
TMcard, be sure to attach the miniSD
TMcard 
adapter. Insert and remove the miniSD
TMcard with the adapter
attached.
B  If only the miniSD
TMcard adapter is inserted into the SD memory card 
slot, the projector will not operate correctly. Be sure to use the miniSD
TM
card adapter with the miniSD
TMcard inside.
B
Correct operation of a MultiMedia Card in the projector is not guaranteed.
B  Use of a Panasonic SD memory card is recommended.Data that can be played backOnly folder and file names that comply with the DCF standard will be 
recognized. (Refer to page 66 for details on the DCF standard.)
Still image data:
The format for still images is Exif2.2-compliant JPEG. 
B Still image data recorded by the LUMIX Panasonic digital camera.  
B  Still image data whose format has been converted by ImageCreator 1.5.  
Moving image data:
The format for moving images is QuickTime Motion JPEG.
B  Moving image data recorded by the LUMIX Panasonic digital camera. ImageCreator 1.5ImageCreator 1.5 is software that allows you to convert image formats for 
presentation files made by Microsoft PowerPoint
®to a format that can be played
back by this projector. You can download ImageCreator 1.5 from our website.
http://panasonic.co.jp/pavc/projector
Refer to the operating instructions for ImageCreator 1.5 that can also be
downloaded from the website above for details on operation.
NOTE:
B  Always be sure to check that the files in the SD memory card are not 
being played back before removing the SD memory card. Failure to
observe this may result in data corruption or data loss.NOTE:
B If you try to force the SD memory card to go in the wrong way, it may 
damage the SD memory card and the card slot.
