Panasonic PT-P1SDE manual Before use

Before use

Caution when moving the projector

Be sure to check that the lens cover has been attached to the lens before moving the projector.

The projection lens is extremely susceptible to vibration and shocks. When moving the projector, use the accessory softcase. When placing the projector inside the softcase, position it so that the lens is facing upward.

Do not put anything else in the softcase other than the projector, cables, remote control unit and the SD memory card.

Cautions regarding setting-up

Avoid setting up in places which are subject to vibration or shocks. The internal parts can be damaged, which may cause malfunctions or accidents.

Avoid setting up in places which are subject to sudden temperature changes, such as near an air conditioner.

The life of the lamp may be shortened.

Do not set up the projector near high-voltage power lines or near motors.

The projector may be subject to electromagnetic interference.

If installing the projector to the ceiling, ask a qualified technician to carry out all installation work.

You will need to purchase the separate installation kit (Model No.ET-PKP1). Furthermore, all installation work should only be carried out by a qualified technician.

If using this projector at high elevations (above 1 400 m), set the “HIGHLAND” to “ON”. (Refer to page 50.)

Failure to observe this may result in malfunctions.

Notes on use

In order to get the best picture quality

Draw curtains or blinds over any windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen.

Do not touch the glass parts of the lens and the lens cover with your bare hands.

If the glass parts of the lens and the lens cover become dirty from fingerprints or anything else, it will be magnified and projected onto the screen.

Screen

Do not apply any volatile substances which may cause discolouration to the screen, and do not let it become dirty or damaged.

SD memory card slot

Make sure that there are no foreign objects inside the slot when inserting the SD memory card (sold separately). Failure to observe this may damage the card and the slot.

Lamp

The lamp may need to be replaced earlier due to variables such as individual lamp characteristics, usage conditions and the installation environment, especially when the projector is subjected to continuous use for more than 10 hours or the power is frequently turned on and off.

Liquid crystal panel

The liquid crystal panel of the projector is built with very high precision technology to provide fine picture details. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as fixed points of blue, green or red. Please note that this does not affect the performance of your LCD.
