Formula for calculating the projection distance
To use a projected image size not listed in this manual, check the projected image size SD (m) and use the 
respective formula to calculate the value.
The unit of all the formulae is m. (Values obtained by the following calculation formulae contain a slight error.)
When calculating the value using image size designation (value in inches), multiply the value in inches by 0.0254 
and substitute it into SD in the formula.
Aspect ratio 16:10 Aspect ratio 16:9Aspect ratio 4:3
Projected image size Height (SH) = SD x 0.530
= SD x 0.490 = SD x 0.6
Projected image size Width (SW) = SD x 0.848
= SD x 0.872 = SD x 0.8
Minimum projection distance  (LW) = 1.2598 x SD 
- 0.0526
= 1.2949 x SD - 0.0526= 1.4262 x SD - 0.0526
Maximum projection distance  (LT) = 2.5118 x SD 
- 0.0390
= 2.5816 x SD - 0.0390= 2.8436 x SD - 0.0390
Adjusting adjustable feet
Install the projector on a flat surface so that the front of the projector is parallel to the screen surface and the 
projection screen is rectangular.
If the screen is tilted downward, extend the front adjustable feet so that the projected image becomes rectangular . 
The adjustable feet can also be used to adjust the projector to be level when it is tilted in the horizontal direction.
Adjustable feet can be extended by turning them as shown in the figure.  Turning them in the opposite direction will 
return them to the original position.
Maximum adjustable range
Adjustable feet: 35 mm (1-3/8) each
Attention
 f Be careful not to block the intake/exhaust ports with your hands or any objects when adjusting the adjustable feet while the light source is 
on. (

Connecting
Before connecting
 fBefore connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected.
 fT

urn off the power of all devices before connecting cables.
 fT

ake note of the following points before connecting the cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.
 g When connecting a cable to a device connected to the projector or the projector itself, touch any nearby 
metallic objects to eliminate static electricity from your body before performing work.
 gDo not use unnecessarily long cables to connect a device to the projector or to the projector body . 

The longer 
the cable, the more susceptible to noise it becomes. Since using a cable while it is wound makes it act like an 
antenna, it is more susceptible to noise.
 g When connecting cables, connect GND first, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting device in a 
straight manner

.
 fAcquire any connection cable necessary to connect the external device to the system that is neither supplied 
with the device nor available as an option.
 fIf video signals from video equipment contain too much jitter

, the images on the screen may wobble. In this 
case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.
 f If synchronization signals output from computers or video equipment are disrupted due to changes in the video 
output setting or other reasons, colors of projected images may be temporarily disrupted.
 fThe projector accepts video signals, 

Y/C signals, YC
BCR/YPBPR signals, analog RGB signals (synchronization 
signals are TTL level), and digital signals.
 f Some computer models or graphics cards are not compatible with the projector .
 fUse a cable compensator when you connect devices to the projector using long cables. Otherwise the projector 
may not project the image properly

.
 f For details of the types of video signals that can be used with the projector , refer to “List of compatible signals”

YFB200G) uses the twisted pair cable to transmit 
input images, audio, Ethernet, and serial control signal, and the projector can input such digital signal to the 
 terminal.

*1 Control target is the projector or the twisted-pair-cable transmitter .  The control itself may not be possible depending on the twisted-pair-cable 
transmitter. Check the operating instructions of the device to be connected.
Attention
 f Always use one of the following when connecting a VCR. gUse a VCR with built-in time base corrector (TBC). gUse a time base corrector (TBC) between the projector and the VCR. fThe image may be disrupted when nonstandard burst signal is connected. In such a case, connect the time base corrector (TBC) between 
the projector and the external devices.
 fAsk a qualified technician or your dealer to install the cable wiring between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector . Image may 
be disrupted if cable transmission characteristics cannot be obtained due to inadequate installation.
 f For the LAN cable between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector , use a cable that meets the following criteria: gConforming to CA

T5e or higher standards
 gShielded type (including connectors) gStraight-through gSingle wire fWhen laying cables between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector , confirm that cable characteristics are compatible with 
CA

T5e or higher using tools such as a cable tester or cable analyzer .
When a relay connector is used, include it in the measurement.
 f Do not use a hub between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector . fWhen connecting to the projector using a twisted-pair-cable transmitter (receiver) of other manufacturers, do not place another twisted-pair-
cable transmitter between the twisted-pair-cable 

transmitter of other manufacturers and the projector. This may cause image to be disrupted.
 fDo not pull cables forcefully

. Also, do not bend or fold cables unnecessarily.
 fT

o reduce the effects of noise as much as possible, stretch out the cables between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector 
without any loops.
 f Lay the cables between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector away from other cables, particularly power cables. fWhen laying multiple cables, run them side by side along the shortest distance possible without bundling them together . fAfter laying the cables, go to the [NETWORK] menu 

→ [DIGITAL LINK STATUS] and confirm that the value of [SIGNAL QUALITY] is 
displayed in green which indicates normal quality. (x
  page   122)
Note
 fFor the HDMI cable, use an HDMI High Speed cable that conforms to the HDMI standards. If a cable that does not conform to the HDMI 
standards is used, images may be interrupted or may not be projected.
 fThe projector does not support VIERA

 Link (HDMI).
 fThe maximum transmission distance between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector is 100

  m (328'1"). It is possible to transmit 
up to 150
  m (492'2") if the twisted-pair-cable transmitter supports the long-reach communication method. If this distance is exceeded, image 
may be disrupted or a malfunction may occur in LAN communication. Please note that Panasonic does not support the use of the projector 
outside the maximum transmission distance. When connecting with the long reach, video signal or distance that can be transmitted may be 
restricted, depending on the specification of the twisted-pair-cable transmitter .

 fFor twisted-pair-cable transmitters of other manufacturers of which the operation has been verified with the projector , visit the Panasonic 
website (http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/). Note that the verification for devices of other manufacturers has been made for the items set 
by Panasonic Corporation, and not all the operations have been verified. For operation or performance problems caused by the devices of 
other manufacturers, contact the respective manufacturers.

Switching on/off the projector
Connecting the power cord
Make sure that the supplied power cord is securely fixed to the projector body to prevent it from being 
removed easily.
Confirm that the  switch is on the  side before connecting the power cord.
Use the power cord matching with the power supply voltage and the shape of the outlet.
For details of power cord handling, refer to “Read this first!” (x page 5).
How to attach the power cord
1) Check the shapes of the  terminal on the side of the projector and the power cord connector , 
and insert the connector completely in the correct direction (until you\
 hear the side tabs click in 
place).
How to remove the power cord
1) Confirm that the  switch on the side of the projector is on the  side, and 
remove the power plug from the outlet.
2)
 
Remove the power cord connector from the  terminal of the project\
or while pressing the side 
tabs.
Power indicator
Indicate the status of the power. Check the status of the power indicator  before operating 
the projector.
