Panasonic LCD Projector Pt Rz670 Operating Instructions

							Chapter 1 Preparation — Precautions for use
ENGLISH - 21
Early Warning Software
The projector supports “Early Warning Software” which notifies of abnormality and detects signs of possible abnormality by 
monitoring the status of equipment (projectors or flat-panel displays) inside an intranet. Because this software gives notification 
of approximate time to replace consumables and parts, and to clean each part, equipment maintenance can be performed in 
advance.
Depending on the type of license, the number of equipment that can be registered for monitoring varies. Limited to the first 90 
days after installation in a computer, it is possible to register up to 2048 units of equipment free of charge.
The software can be downloaded for free from the Panasonic website for membership support system “PASS (Projector Asset 
Support System)” (http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/pass/). First sign up for “P ASS” membership (free of charge), and then log 
in to the site.
Disposal
To dispose of the product, ask your local authorities or dealer for corre\
ct methods of disposal.
Cautions on use
 r To get a good picture quality
In order to view a beautiful image in higher contrast, prepare an approp\
riate environment. Draw curtains or blinds over 
windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indo\
or lamps from shining onto the screen.
 rDo not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hands.
If the surface of the projection lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto 
the screen.
Attach the lens cover supplied with the projector or with the optional projection lens to the projector when you do not use the 
projector.
 rDLP chips
 fThe DLP chips are precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always lit. Note that 
such phenomena do not indicate malfunction.
 f Directing a high-power laser beam onto the projection lens surface can d\
amage the DLP

 chips.
 rDo not move the projector or subject it to vibration or impact while it is operating.
Doing so may shorten the life of the built-in motor.
 rLight source
The light source of the projector uses lasers, and has the following cha\
racteristics.
 fDepending on the operating environment temperature, the luminance of the\
 light source will decrease.
When using the projector at elevations lower than 2

  700   m (8   858') above sea level, and the operating environment 
temperature becomes 35
  °C (95   °F) or higher, the luminance of the light source may decrease. When using the projector 
at elevations between 2
  700   m (8   858') and 4   200   m (13   780'), and the operating environment temperature becomes 25   °C 
(77
  °F) or higher, the luminance of the light source may decrease. The higher the temperature becomes, the more the 
luminance of the light source decreases.
 f The luminance of the light source will decrease by duration of usage.
The 

time until when the luminance of the light source decreases by half differs depending on the setting of the [PROJECTOR 
SETUP] menu → [OPERATION SETTING]  → [OPERATING MODE].
The estimated time until when the luminance of the light source decrease\
s by half is as follows.
 g When [OPERA

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

TING MODE] is set to [ECO]: Approximately 24   000 hours
 gWhen [OPERA

TING MODE] is set to [LONG LIFE1]: Approximately 43   000 hours
 gWhen [OPERA

TING MODE] is set to [LONG LIFE2]: Approximately 61   000 hours
 gWhen [OPERA

TING MODE] is set to [LONG LIFE3]: Approximately 87   000 hours
When the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [OPERATION SETTING]  → [CONSTANT MODE] is set to [AUTO], the luminance 
can be maintained as much as possible for the same usage time. The foregoing time is a rough estimate when the projector 
is used without changing the settings of [OPERATING MODE] and [CONSTANT MODE], and will vary depending on 
individual differences and usage conditions.
If brightness is noticeably reduced and the light source does not turn o\
n, ask your dealer to clean inside the projector or 
replace the light source unit.

Preparing the remote control
Inserting and removing the batteries
(ii)(i)
Fig. 1Fig. 2
1) Open the cover. (Fig. 1)
2)  
Insert the batteries and close the cover (insert the 
 m side first). (Fig. 2)
 fWhen removing the batteries, perform the steps in reverse order .
When using the multiple projectors
When you use the multiple projectors together, you can control all the projectors simultaneously or each projector in\
dividually using single 
remote control, if a unique ID number is assigned to each projector.
When using the projectors by setting the ID numbers, set the ID number o\
f the projector body after initial settings have been completed.  Then, 
set the ID number of the remote control. For initial settings, refer to “When the initial setting screen is displayed” ( x
  page   52).
The factory default ID number of the projector (projector body and remote control) is set to [ALL], so you can use it as it is. Set the ID numbers 
of the projector body and remote control as necessary.
For details on setting the ID number of the remote control, refer to “Setting the remote control ID numbers” ( x
  page   65).
Note
 fSet the ID number of the projector body from the [PROJECT OR SETUP] menu → [PROJECTOR ID].

Connecting the remote control to the projector with a cable
When you use the system with multiple projectors, use commercially available M3 stereo mini jack cables and connect the other devices to the 
/ terminals of the projector.
The remote control is effective even in places where an obstacle stands in the light path or whe\
re devices are susceptible to outside light.

Attention
 fUse a cable that is 15   m (49'3") or shorter, with 2 core shielded. The remote control may not operate when the length of the cable exceeds 
15   m (49'3") or when the shielding of the cable is inadequate.
