Panasonic LCD Projector Pt Rz570 Operating Instructions

							Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
ENGLISH - 21
 fDirecting a high-power laser beam onto the projection lens surface can damage the DLP  chips.
 rLight source
The light source of the projector uses lasers, and has the following characteristics.
 fDepending on the operating environment temperature, the luminance of the light source will decrease.
The higher the temperature becomes, the more the luminance of the light source decreases.
 fThe luminance of the light source will decrease by duration of usage.
The time until when the luminance of the light source decreases by half dif fers depending on the setting of the 
[PROJECT

OR SETUP] menu → [ECO MANAGEMENT]  → [OPERATING MODE].
The estimated time until when the luminance of the light source decreases by half is as follows.
(The time is estimated when the [PICTURE] menu  → [DYNAMIC CONTRAST] is set to [ON].)
 gWhen [OPERA

TING MODE] is set to [NORMAL] or [SILENT]: Approximately 20   000 hours
 gWhen [OPERA

TING MODE] is set to [ECO]: Approximately 24   000 hours
This time is rough estimate when the projector is used without changing the [OPERA TING MODE] setting, and 
will vary depending on individual difference and usage condition.
If brightness is noticeably reduced and the light source does not turn on, ask your dealer to clean inside the 
projector or replace the light source unit.
 r Computer and external device connections
When connecting a computer or an external device, read this manual carefully regarding the use of power cords 
and shielded cables as well.

Note
 f When operating the remote control by directly pointing at the remote control signal receiver of the projector , operate the remote control 
within a distance approximately 30   m (98'5") from the remote control signal receiver. The remote control can control at angles of up to ±30° 
vertically and horizontally, but the effective control range may be reduced.
 f If there are any obstacles between the remote control and the remote control signal receiver , the remote control may not operate properly

.
 fThe signal will be reflected of

f the screen. However, the operating range may be limited from light reflection loss due to the screen material.
 fIf the remote control signal receiver directly receives strong light, such as fluorescent light, the remote control may not operate properly . Use 
it in a place distant from the light source.
 f The power indicator  will blink if the projector receives a remote control signal.
