Below are answers to frequently asked questions about PT-FZ570 Series projectors.

ET-PKE301B ceiling mount bracket attachment is required when using ET-PKD120S/ET-PKD120H.

Does this projector have a lens-shift function?

Yes, it does.

Is this a lens-interchangeable projector?

The <ON (G) / STANDBY (R)> power indicator is blinking red. Is something wrong?

This is normal. The <ON (G) / STANDBY (R)> power indicator blinks red to indicate that the projector is in standby with standby mode set to [NORMAL]. When the projector’s standby mode is set to [ECO], and the projector enters standby, the power indicator lights red. If <ON (G) / STANDBY (R)> power indicator blinks red three times after switching the unit on and off, however, turn the MAIN POWER switch to OFF and ask your dealer or point of purchase for assistance.

The <ON (G) / STANDBY (R)> power indicator is blinking green. Is something wrong?

No, there is nothing wrong. The power indicator is blinking green for one of the following reasons:

(1) The projector is in the process of powering up the lamp. In this case, the indicator blinks in a 0.5 to 0.5-second on/off cycle. The image will be projected after a brief interval.

(2) The projector is on, but the lamp is off. The projector is in a Ready condition with Power Management function activated. In this case, the indicator blinks in a 2.0 to 2.0-second on/off cycle.

The <FILTER> indicator is lit red. Is something wrong?

This indicates that the air filter unit is clogged or that the temperature the inside of the projector unit is abnormally high. Please check if:

  • The air filter unit is dirty (clean if necessary)
  • The air intake/exhaust ports are obstructed (clear if necessary).

If the <FILTER> indicator is still lit red after checking the above, turn the MAIN POWER switch to OFF and ask your dealer or point of purchase for assistance.

The <FILTER> indicator is blinking red. Is something wrong?

This indicates that the projector has not detected a filter, or the filter is not installed correctly. Check that the air filter unit in the projector is present and installed correctly. If the <FILTER> indicator is still blinking red after checking the above, turn the MAIN POWER switch to OFF and ask your dealer or point of purchase for assistance.

Is it possible to disable image display without turning off the power?

You can disable image display temporarily by pressing the AV MUTE button on the remote control or the projector’s control panel. The image will reappear when the button is pressed again.

Network function and RS-232C control cannot be used in standby mode. Why?

When Standby Mode is set to [ECO], network function and some RS-232C commands cannot be used during standby. To enable network access while in standby, change [PROJECTOR SETUP] -> [ECO MANAGEMENT] -> [STANDBY MODE] to [NORMAL] via the main menu.

The OSD (On-Screen Display) menu is not displayed. Why?

It is possible that the OSD is set to [OFF]. Press the [ON SCREEN] button on the remote control to make the OSD visible. You can also unhide the OSD by pressing and holding the [MENU] button on the projector control panel for 3 seconds or longer.
