2x Optical Zoom Lens

The 2x optical zoom lens provides a wide throw range that gives you outstanding setup flexibility, letting you enjoy large-screen view- ing in different sized rooms. Position it on a table in front of you, suspend it from the ceil- ing, or place it on a bookshelf behind you.

Vertical and Horizontal Lens Shift

Adjust the positioning of the picture vertically and horizontally by simply operating a joy- stick. The shift range is 63% of the screen height for vertical adjustment, and 25% of the screen width for horizontal adjustment.

Two HDMI Inputs

Two HDMI inputs let you connect two devices, such as a BD player and game console, at the same time, using HDMI

Simple, Convenient Remote Control

The remote control is intu- itively laid out for ease of use. The picture mode select buttons are divided into “Theater Room” and “Living Room” to separate the modes into those rec- ommended for dark room viewing and bright room viewing respectively.

Other Features

Seven picture modes include game, vivid cinema, normal, dynamic, cinema 1, and cin- ema 2. • User equalizing function lets you adjust the high, mid and low gamma levels.

Image size/projection distance

Up to eight sets of adjustment settings can be stored in memory with custom names that make them easy to remember. • Scene- adaptive resizing LSI improves quality when resizing 480p images or those from other sources with resolution lower than the PT-AX200’s native resolution. • Cinema Color Management allows individual color correc- tion • Scene-adaptive MPEG noise reduction effectively blocks regular noise and minimizes mosquito noise. • 24p compatible

Progressive cinema scan (3/2 pulldown) and HD IP • Quiet operation (25 dB) and front exhaust • On-screen input guidance • Auto input search • Off-timer • Normal/economy lamp power selection • Built-in test pattern

Ecology-Conscious Design

Panasonic strives to minimize environmental impact caused by its products through careful consideration of design, production, delivery, process and product life cycle. The PT-AX200 reflects the following ecological considerations.

Lead-free solder is used to mount components on the printed circuit boards.

No halogenated flame retardants are used in the cabinet.

No polystyrene foam is used in the packing materials.

Lead-free glass is used for the lens.

The packing case and operating manual are made from recycled paper.

Lamp power switching further reduces power consumption.

Standby power consumption is a mere 0.08 watts in the standby mode.

*1: The projector uses a type of liquid crystal panel that typically consists of millions of pixels. This panel is built with very high-precision technology designed to provide one of the finest possible images. Occasionally, a few pixels may remain turned on (bright) or turned off (dark). Please note that this is an intrinsic characteristic of the manufacturing technology that affects all products using LCD technology.

*2: The projector uses a high-voltage mercury lamp that contains high internal pressure. This lamp may break, emitting a large sound, or fail to illumi- nate, due to impact or extended use. The length of time that it takes for the lamp to break or fail to illuminate varies greatly depending on individ- ual lamp characteristics and usage conditions.

*3: Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with ISO 21118 international standards.

*4: In AI mode, with dynamic iris on

*5: Shift range is limited during simultaneous horizontal and vertical shifting.

*6: Excluding protrusions
