MULTI-LAMP OPTICAL SYSTEM
With Panasonic's original four lamp 
system, the PT-D10000U generates 
10,000-lumen brightness. If one 
lamp burns out during operation, the 
remaining lamps provide plenty of 
light to continue projecting. A lamp 
relay mode is also included. 
Extended, continuous operation is 
possible by lamp mode selection.
Provides 2,000 hours of use without filter maintenance.
AUTO CLEANING ROBOT (ACR)
The PT-D10000U is the world's first*1 projector with an 
automatic filter cleaning system. When you switch on the 
projector*
2, the air filter operates and the brush of the auto 
cleaning "robot" removes dust from the filter. This prevents the 
clogging results in malfunctions and other problems.
*1 As of  Decemder, 2006.    *2 When using the timer, you cannot set the filter 
to be cleaned more than once every 24 hours. Cleaning occurs either when the 
system is switched on or when it is cooling down when the specified cleaning 
time comes. The timer can be set to any time between 00:00 and 23:50 in 10-
minute increments. You can also manually clean the filter using the menu on 
the on-screen display.    *3 Individual lint particles and pollen are examples of 
dust with a size of 10 microns.
Dramatically reduced the size, and enabled 120-VAC operation.
1/2 CONCEPT
This is the first*1 projector with a brightness of 10,000 lumens or more to 
operate on 120 VAC. And Panasonic's new liquid-cooling system made it 
possible to significantly downsize the PT-D10000U, making it one of the 
most compact in its class. The size is 30% smaller than our previous 
model*
2, and the weight and volume are 70% less than our previous model.*2 
The PT-D10000U also offers flexible installation and is easy to operate.

Lamp replacement cycle and 
brightness guidelines
A new filter in the air intake section traps dust 
particles that are 10 microns*3 or larger. By 
capturing approximately 7 times as much dust 
as our previous filters, it guards against optical 
blocks and reduces the penetration of dust into 
to the interior to provide stable operation by, for 
example, preventing drops in brightness.

HIGH RELIABILITY
Liquid-cooling system
Panasonic's original liquid-cooling system 
directly cools the DLP® chips, which extends 
the PT-D10000U's performance and attains a 
high level of reliability.
New cooling structure
In order to further enhance the cooling 
efficiency, we completely revised the 
placement of various internal components 
and combined this with our popular cooling 
system to enable use in temperatures up to 
45˚C. This allows use in a wider variety of 
environments, and keeps the operation more 
stable even in harsh conditions.
Web browser control/
monitoring and 
e-mail message alert
Lamp LED indicator and 
self-diagnosis function
Anybody can operate the PT-D10000U by 
remote control or monitor its status over a 
LAN network, because it is all done using the 
computer's familiar web browser. 
Furthermore, the PT-D10000U sends an e-
mail message to notify the operator when an 
error has 
occurred, or 
a lamp needs 
to be replaced.
PanasonicOriginal
PanasonicOriginal
The projector body is 
equipped with a temperature 
alarm LED and a burnt-lamp 
alarm LED (for lamps 1 to 4). 
In previous models, the LED 
indicator was visible only 
from the front. In the PT-D10000U the LED is 
visible from both front and top, so you can see 
it easily even if the unit is hung from the 
ceiling. Information on the location of the 
error is also given in the on-screen display. A 
self-diagnosis function is also provided. Error 
codes displayed on the 3-digit, 7-segment 
LED on the side of the projector tell the 
operator where the problem is.

HIGH IMAGE QUALITY/FLEXIBLE INSTALLATION
Dynamic iris
Incorporating exclusive Panasonic technology, 
the dynamic iris opens and closes with 
exceptional speed and precision as the input 
signal changes, resulting in accurate, real-
time control of the light striking the DLP
® 
chips. The dynamic iris is positioned 
immediately after the light synthesizer and 
before the integrator, so it has minimal 
adverse effect on the overall light uniformity 
across the screen.
Full 10-bit picture processing
The use of a full 10-bit image processing 
system provides smooth tonal expression. 
For example, skin tones appear natural and 
true to life.
Optional lenses 
for various venues
Seven optional lenses with different throw 
distances are available. These powered 
zoom/focus lenses enable the projector to 
perform superbly in an array of projection 
environments. The lens 
cover opens in both 
front and top directions, 
making it easier to 
install the lens by 
viewing the mark on the 
top of the lens.
3D color management system
Compensation provides optimal levels of color 
saturation, hue, and brightness that were not 
possible with conventional projectors.
Colors approach those of the original image, 
even on large-screen displays.
This interlace/progressive conversion 
technology automatically detects when the 
input signal is derived from filmed material 
and selects the optimum progressive 
processing method to assure faithful 
reproduction of the original image.
Progressive cinema scan (3/2 pulldown)
The dynamic sharpness control circuit adjusts 
the video signal waveforms based on the 
difference in brightness of adjacent pixels for 
a sharp, clear picture that is relatively 
unaffected by signal noise.

UNIVERSAL DESIGN
Easy lamp replacementOther features
You can remove the back cover by removing a 
single screw. This makes it easy to replace a 
lamp, even if the projector is suspended from 
the ceiling or 
tucked in a 
hard-to-reach 
space.
Grooved for easy handling
Optional accessories
Grooves on all four sides of the projector's 
bottom let you get a firm, comfortable grip on 
the unit and move it safely.
Built-in multi-screen support system
The PT-D10000U can project large, multi-screen images 
without any additional equipment. Up to 100 units (10 x 
10) can be edge-blended at a time.
Multiple terminals including DVI-D and LAN slots
Multi-screen processor
When several units are used together, this function 
corrects for slight variations in the color reproduction 
range of individual projectors. The PC software assures 
easy, accurate control. Independent, 7-axis adjustment 
(red, green, blue, yellow, magenta, cyan, white) ensures 
high precision and minimizes color variations. 
Color matching
The edges of adjacent screens can be blended and their 
luminance controlled. For example, the adjoining edges 
in a 2x2 multi-screen system can be blended to create a 
smooth, seamless image.
The PT-D10000U comes equipped with DVI-D and LAN 
(PJ-Link™) slots. It also features an array of terminals, 
including two RGB inputs, a 5-BNC connector and D-
sub HD 15-pin, serial in/out, S-video input, two remote 
inputs, and one remote out. In addition to offering DVI-
D control, the PT-D10000U is HDCP*-compliant and 
thus meets a broad range of projection needs.

Notes on Projector Placement and Operation:
The projector uses a high-wattage lamp that becomes very hot during operation. Please observe the following precautions.1. Never place objects on top of the projector while it is operating.
2. Make sure there is an unobstructed space of 500 mm or more around the projectors exhaust openings.
3. Do not stack projector units directly on top of one another for the purpose of multiple (stacked) projection. 
    When stacking projector units, be sure to provide the amount of space indicated below between them. 
    These space requirements also apply to installations where only one projector unit is operating at one time 
    and the other unit is used as a backup.
4. If the projector is placed in a box or enclosure, ensure the temperature of the air surrounding the projector 
    is between 0˚C and 35˚C. Also make sure the projectors intake and exhaust openings are not blocked. 
    Take particular care to ensure that hot air from the exhaust openings is not sucked into the intake openings.
5. Because the ET-D75LE5 is a fixed short-throw lens, the lens shift function cannot be used with it.Operating the Projector Continuously:
1. If the projector is to be operated continuously 24 hours a day, use the multi-lamp optical systems 
    alternating lamp operation (lamp changer) function. The projector can be operated continuously 24 hours 
    a day in four-lamp operation mode,but it will automatically operate with three lamps for 8 hours of the 
    24 hours.
2. The lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter if the projector is operated repeatedly for short periods.
• The projector uses a high-voltage mercury lamp that contains high internal pressure. 
    This lamp may break, emitting a large sound, or fail to illuminate, due to impact or extended use. 
    The length of time that it takes for the lamp to break or fail to illuminate varies greatly depending on 
    individual lamp characteristics and usage conditions.
• The brightness of the lamp will gradually decrease with use.
