You can check the number of hours on your laser light source by pressing the [STATUS] button on the remote control, or by selecting [PROJECTOR SETUP] -> [STATUS] -> [LIGHT RUNTIME] via the main menu.

Some advantages of laser light sources over lamp light sources are highlighted below:

• Laser light sources have a longer lifespan and maintain image quality and brightness for longer over an extended usage period
• Since periodic lamp replacement is not required, maintenance hassle and running costs are reduced
• The time required to commence projection after powering on the projector, and the time required for the light source to turn off after powering off the projector, are reduced
• Chance of lamp failure interrupting your presentation is eliminated for greater peace of mind.

Laser light-source replacement should be handled by your dealer’s servicing department. For more information about laser light-source replacement, please contact your point of purchase, or here to obtain the contact details of a sales office in your region.

We recommend you have your dealer check and clean your projector and replace the laser light source after about 20,000 hours of use. While it’s possible to continue using the projector after this time without replacing the light source, light output at about 20,000 hours will have decreased to approximately 50 % of its original level.

The value of 20,000 hours is the estimated time at which your projector’s light output will have decreased to approximately 50 % of its original level at the time of shipment when used in specific operating modes at certain altitude ranges and in certain operating environments.

Yes, it is. Since this projector does not require a cooldown period before it is turned off, the projector can be turned off any time via the room breaker switch. Note that changes to settings and adjustments applied immediately before the power is disconnected may not be reflected when the unit is next switched on.

When [PROJECTOR SETUP] -> [STANDBY MODE] is set to [NORMAL] in the main menu, it takes about seven seconds from the time the projector is switched on until an image appears on screen, and about 23 seconds when [PROJECTOR SETUP] -> [STANDBY MODE] is set to [ECO]. An image will appear on screen after about a second when the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu -> [QUICK STARTUP] -> is set to [ON], and the power is switched on within a specified time after the projector enters standby mode. A time can be specified via [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu -> [QUICK STARTUP] -> [VALID PERIOD]. After this period elapses, [QUICK STARTUP] will be disabled, and it will take about seven seconds to project an image. Note that [QUICK STARTUP] cannot be set when [STANDBY MODE] is set to [ECO].

Yes, it is possible. If you intend to use the projector continuously for 24 hours or more, go to the main menu, select [PROJECTOR SETUP] -> [BRIGHTNESS CONTROL] -> and set [CALIBRATION TIME]. If a value is not set, Brightness Control correction will not be performed automatically.

This function corrects the brightness and white balance of the image on screen using a built-in light-source sensor according to changes in brightness and color of the light source.

This projector can be installed at any angle through 360° in any orientation, including horizontal, vertical, and portrait.

No, it’s not possible to rotate the image while an input signal is being projected.

A center lumen is a measurement of brightness at the center of the projection screen based on a specified method for measuring light output. The advertised center brightness is the average value of all products when shipped.

Yes, the projector supports DIGITAL LINK.

Yes, ET-PKD56H/ET-PKD55S ceiling mount bracket can be used with this projector in conjunction with the optional ET-PKD130B attachment.

This projector is not compatible with wireless LAN. However, wireless image transmission is supported when the projector is used in conjunction with Panasonic’s optional Wireless Presentation System PressIT (TY-WPS1). For more information on Wireless Presentation System PressIT, please click here.

This could be due to the following:

(1) The shutter function is in use (shutter is closed)

(2) The light source is turned off because the following setting is enabled in the main menu:
[PROJECTOR SETUP] -> [NO SIGNAL SETTING] -> [NO SIGNAL LIGHTS-OUT].

There is no specific amount that we recommend. In general, however, the overlapping area should represent about 10 % or more of the total width and height of the image.

It's not abnormal. When [Projector Setup] -> [Fast Startup] -> [On] -> [Validity Period] is set in the main menu, it flashes red until the time set in [Validity Period] has passed after entering standby mode.

This indicates that the light output has been reduced due to failure of a light-source part. Please turn the MAIN POWER switch to OFF and turn on the power again. If the <LIGHT1> / <LIGHT2> light-source indicator is still lit or blinks, turn the MAIN POWER switch to OFF and ask your dealer or point of purchase for assistance.

Three blinks indicate that the light source is not on during use. Please turn the MAIN POWER switch to OFF and turn the power on again. If the <LIGHT1> / <LIGHT2> light-source indicator is still lit or blinks, turn the MAIN POWER switch to OFF and ask your dealer or point of purchase for assistance.

The <TEMP> temperature indicator is lit red when the projector is warming up or when the temperature inside the projector is high. Please check if:

• The unit was switched on while ambient temperature was low (about 0 °C [32 °F])

• The unit is being used within the temperature range specified in the Operation Manual
• The projector is being used at an altitude less than 4,200 m (13,780 ft) above sea level.

If the <TEMP> temperature indicator is still lit after confirming the above, turn the MAIN POWER switch to OFF and ask your dealer or point of purchase for assistance. For more details on projector operating conditions, please see Operation Manual: Chapter 7 – Appendix – Specifications here.

The <TEMP> temperature indicator blinks twice to indicate that the projector has switched to Standby Mode because the inside of the unit is getting too hot. Please check if:

• The air intake/exhaust ports are obstructed (clear if necessary)
• The unit is being used within the temperature range specified in the Operation Manual
• The projector is being used at an altitude less than 4,200 m (13,780 ft) above sea level.

If the <TEMP> temperature indicator still blinks red after confirming the above, turn the MAIN POWER switch to OFF and ask your dealer or point of purchase for assistance. For more details on projector operating conditions, please see Operation Manual: Chapter 7 – Appendix – Specifications here.

The <TEMP> temperature indicator blinks three times to warn you that the cooling fan has stopped. Turn the MAIN POWER switch to OFF and turn on the power again. If the <TEMP> temperature indicator is still blinking red three times after switching the unit on and off, turn the MAIN POWER switch to OFF and ask your dealer or point of purchase for assistance.
