Formula to calculate projection distance per projection lens
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 
projection distance.
The unit of all the formulae is m. (Values obtained by the following calculation formulae contain a slight error.)
When calculating a projection distance using image size designation (value in inches), multiply the value in inches by 0.0254 and substitute it 
into SD in the formula for calculating the projection distance.

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 projected image is rectangular.
If the screen is tilted downward, the projected image can be adjusted to\
 be rectangular by adjusting the front adjustable feet.  The adjustable 
feet can also be used to adjust the projector to be level when it is til\
ted 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.
Adjustable range
Each adjustable feet: Approx. 30 mm (1-3/16)
Attention
 f Be careful not to block the intake/exhaust with your hands or any objects when adjusting the adjustable feet while the light source is on. 
(
x   page   25)
 fWhen installing the projector on the floor using the adjustable feet, be sure that the adjustable foot in the center of the rear is in contact with 
the floor in order to stabilize the image position. ( x

Removing/attaching the projection lens
Removing and attaching methods of the projection lens are same for both \
standard zoom lenses and optional lenses.
Move the projection lens to the home position before replacing or removing the projection lens. (x
  page   61)
Attention
 fReplace the projection lens after turning of f the projector. fDo not touch the electric contacts of the projection lens. Dust or dirt \
may cause poor contact. fDo not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hands. fBefore attaching the projection lens, remove the lens cover attached to \
the projection lens.
Note
 fIn case of the ultra short focus zoom lens (Model No.: ET- DLE085), attachment/removal procedures of the lens mount cover are dif ferent.

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 pr\
ojector 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 projecto\
r 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 correct\
or 
(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 are not compatible with the projector

.
 f Use a cable compensator when you connect devices to the projector using long cables. Otherwise the image may not display properly .
 fRefer to “List of compatible signals” ( x

Connecting example: Twisted-pair-cable transmitter
Twisted-pair-cable transmitters such as the optional Digital Interface Box (Model No.: ET-YFB100G) use twisted-pair-cables to transmit input 
images, Ethernet, and serial control signals, and the projector can input those digital signals to the  terminal.

 fIf nonstandard burst signals are connected, the image may be disrupted. 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 for a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector . Image may be 
disrupted if cable transmission characteristics cannot be obtained due t\
o inadequate installation.
 f For the LAN cable between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector , use a cable that meets the following criteria: gCompatible with CA

T5e or higher
 gShielded type (including connectors) gStraight-through gSingle wire fWhen laying cables between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector , check 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 proj\
ector

.
 fWhen connecting to the projector using a twisted-pair-cable transmitter (receiver) of other manufacturer , do not place another twisted-pair-
cable transmitter between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter of other ma\
nufacturer and the projector

. This may cause image to be disrupted.
 fDo not pull cables forcefully

. In addition, do not bend or fold cables unnecessarily.
 fT

o reduce the effects of noise as much as possible, stretch out the cables between the t\
wisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector 
without any loops.
 f Lay the cables between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projecto\
r away from other cables, particularly power cables. fWhen laying multiple cables, run them side by side along the shortest di\
stance possible without bundling them together

.
 fAfter laying the cables, confirm that the value of [SIGNAL

 QUALITY] in the [NETWORK] menu → [DIGITAL LINK STATUS] is displayed in 
green to indicate normal quality. (x
  page   136)
Note
 fFor an HDMI cable, use an HDMI High Speed cable that conforms to HDMI standards. If a cable that does not conform to HDMI standards 
is used, images may be interrupted or may not be displayed.
 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"). If this distance is 
exceeded, image may be disrupted or a malfunction may occur in LAN communication. Please note that we do not support the use of the 
projector outside the maximum transmission distance.
 f For twisted-pair-cable transmitters of other manufacturers of which the operation has been verified with the projector , refer to 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.
