Projection onto a wide 80-inch screen 
with a short projection distance of 0.60 m*3 
The ultra-short throw projector can be wall-mounted with an optional 
wall mount bracket (ET-PKC200W). There is no need to worry about the 
presenter’s shadow on the screen and glare of the projection light.
The interactive function*1 allows 
you to write on a projected image.
You can write or draw  gures on the projected image with the Interactive 
Pen/Pointer. The scanning camera frame rate of PT-CW331R/CW241R/
CX301R, which is twice as high as that of our existing products*5; ensures 
smooth writing. In addition, two users can write simultaneously, to make 
classes and presentations more effective. It is easy to store the words and 
 gures in a computer for information sharing.

							10 W High-output Speaker Meet Your 
Meeting/Seminar Room Needs.
The volume level of the 10 W high-output speaker is enough for meeting 
rooms and classrooms; you do not need to use an external speaker. You can 
make multi-media presentations.
The DLP™ System Maintains Long-lasting, 
Stable Performance.
In the DLP™ system, the image quality does not 
degrade with time due to long life of the device. You 
can use the projector for various systems over a 
long period without worry of quality loss. *

Supporting Various 3D Systems 
[Viewing 3D images]
View 3D images at a distance at least three times further than the height of the 
screen. Each person views and feels the 3D images differently. In some cases, 
the effects may cause viewers to feel sick. If you see double 3D images or do 
not see stereoscopic images, you may feel fatigue or discomfort If you feel sick, 
immediately stop viewing 3D images. Children younger than  ve or six years old 
should not view 3D images.
DLP™ Link™
As synchronized signals are contained between the frames (images) for 
the left and right eyes, you can build a 3D system without the need for the 
optional emitter.
HDMI Input Terminal Supports 3D 
The HDMI input terminal supports 3D. Connect a 3D Blu-ray player to the 
projector to project Blu-ray 3D images.
3D-compatible Signal 
Supports Frame Packing, Side-by-Side, Top-and-Bottom, and 
Frame Sequential method.
“Crestron RoomView™” Compatible
The wired LAN terminal supports Crestron’s application software, “Crestron 
RoomView™ ”, which can control various system devices by using a personal 
computer connected to the network.
Audio Can Be Output in Standby Mode
Audio can be output from the audio output terminal in Standby mode*11. This 
function is useful when the audio output terminal is connected to the external 
audio system *
12 via the projector.
Ensuring a Long 
Lamp Replacement Cycle
The lamp replacement cycle for the 
PT-CW331R/CW330/CX301R/CX300 is 4,000 
hours*
9; and for the PT-CW241R/CW240 is 
5,000 hours*9. Such long replacement cycles 
reduce the hassle and the cost of maintenance, 
while minimizing environmental impact.
Extensive Interfaces with an HDMI Input Terminal
Extensive interfaces,  including two sets of computer (RGB) input terminals, 
one set of computer (RGB) output terminals and an HDMI input terminal, 
allows a wide range of system con gurations.

The standby power consumptions is as low as 0.5 W *10, reducing running 
cost and effects on the environment.
3D Projection Ensuring powerful images
The projector delivers 3D images.You can enjoy powerful 3D images with 
a reproduction apparatus and the 3D glasses*7. The combination of this 
system with the short-throw function enables space-saving 3D projection, 
helping you create innovative and attractive presentations.

							* 7  To view 3D images, DLP™ Link™ active-shutter 3D glasses are separately re-
quired. (In the active shutter system, the right/left liquid crystal shutter is opened 
and closed alternately according to projected images.)(The active-shutter 3D 
glasses with refresh rate of 96 – 144 Hz are recommended.3D images of 60 Hz 
can also be viewed by a 120 Hz compatible device.)
* 8  Twenty-four-hour continuous operation is not available.
* 9  
This is the maximum value when the lamp power is set to Eco mode where the lamp 
is turned on for 2 hours and off for 0.25 hours. If the lamp is turned on more times or 
kept on for a long time, the lamp replacement cycle will shorten. In Normal mode, the 
lamp replacement cycle is 3,000 hours (3,500 hours for PT-CW241R/CW240). The usage 
environment affects the duration of the lamp.
*10 When [LAN (Standby)]/[VGA Out (Standby)]/[In Standby Mode (Audio)] are all set 
to [Off]. 
*11 Select the Menu for setting. 
*12 In addition to the speaker, an audio ampli er is necessary. 
*13 This product is used together with an optional bracket assembly (sold separately).
*14 The Interactive Pen is the same as those which are supplied with PT-CW331R/

Speci cations
Do not install the projector in locations that are subject to excessive water, humidity, steam or oily smoke. Doing so may result in fi re, malfunction or electric shock.
Caution
1  The projector uses a high-voltage mercury lamp under high internal pressure. This lamp may break, emitting a popping 
sound, or fail to illuminate, due to impact or extended use.
2  The high-wattage lamp becomes very hot during operation. Please observe the following precautions:
  • Never place objects on top of the projector while it is in operation.  
  • Make sure there is an unobstructed space of 500 mm (19-11/16 in) or more around the projector’s exhaust openings. 
  • If stacking projector units, care must be taken to provide the recommended space between units. These space 
requirements also apply to installation where only one projector unit is operating at one time and the other unit is used 
as a backup.    • If the projector is placed in a box or enclosure, the temperature of the air surrounding the projector must match the 
operating temperature listed in the specifi cations table during use. Also, make sure the projector’s intake and exhaust 
openings are not blocked.  Ensure there is suffi cient ventilation to prevent hot air from the exhaust openings being 
recirculated into the intake opening.
3  The lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter if the projector is operated repeatedly for short periods.
  • The lamp replacement cycle varies greatly depending on individual lamp characteristics and usage conditions.
  • The brightness of the lamp will gradually decrease with use.
4  Due to natural characteristics of lamps, screen brightness may fl  uctuate. This is not an indication of faulty lamp performance.
