(as a number

• The number of display dots of the PT-D5500U (PT-D5500UL) is 1 024 x 768. If signals with a
number of display dots differing from the data listed above are supplied, they will be converted into
signals with 1 024 x 768 dots and displayed.Note
1Character “i” that follows the number of displayed dots stands for interlace signal.2The symbols used to denote the image quality have the following significance:
AA = the images are projected at the highest quality; A = the images are converted by the image processing
circuit and projected; B = the amount of data is scaled down and simplified images are projected.
3These signals support the frame lock function.

Projection distances by projection lens
The table below shows the projection distances of optional projection lenses. 
For the projection distance of the standard lens provided with the PT-D5500U (equipped with lens), refer to page 17.
For instructions on how to install the lenses, refer to page 21.
