any people want to use spe
cial colors and designs intheir presentations,but these
colors change when they’re
projected onto the screen in a lightedroom.So they just use plain, basic colors.
As a result, the presentation is visuallyboring and looksjust like their
competitor’s.
Panasonic
solves this prob
lem with our
microportable projector featuringinnovative Daylight
View technology. The
PTLB20VU greatlyimproves image per
formance in brightly lit
places. In fact, the1,600lumen brightnessof the PTLB20VU achieves a level of image
performance that equals many 2,400
lumen projectors.

Image Performance Rivaling 
2,400Lumen Projectors
Daylight View technology significantly improves
image performance. Our new 1,600lumen pro
jector has attained a level of image performance
that equals or exceeds that of our previous2,400lumen models
in brightly lit envi
ronments.*

Vivid colors in a Bright Room
Panasonic’s unique Daylight View technology
greatly improves color perception in bright rooms.
Pale colors are divided into six basic color com
ponents (red, green, blue, yellow, cyan and
magenta) for more precise control. Daylight View
achieves a superb level of image performance
that produces less of a difference between PC
display images and projected images.
Auto Operation with Ambient
Light Sensor
The top panel of the unit is equipped
with an ambient light sensor (
ALS). The
ALS detects changes in the ambient
light intensity and optimizes color
compensation in four steps according
to the environment. The Daylight
View mode also provides white bal
ance adjustment settings for both
fluorescent and incandescent lamps
to match the room lighting.

Daylight View technology
enables Panasonic projectors to
achieve the same image per
formance as projectors a class above
them,while consuming less power. This
helps to save energy resources that
would otherwise be wasted.

3The projector cannot be placed into a bag until the 
cooling fan stops operating.
2Second Speed Start
Speed Start slashes the time it takes to get your
presentation under way. The image appears within two seconds after you press the power button.
Behind this breakthrough is Panasonic’s highpre
cision lamp and lamp power supply— an
advantage made possible by our
advanced production technology.
OneTouch Auto Setup with 
Digital Keystone Correction
This function assures quick and easy
setup. The projector handles the basic
image adjustments, from phasing to
vertical and horizontal position. The builtin gravi
ty sensor detects the projector’s angle relative to
the floor and corrects for vertical keystone distor
tion accordingly.
Direct Power Off
When the presentation is completed, Direct Power
Off lets you disconnect the power cable and move
the projector right away*
3because the cooling fan
keeps operating until the lamp is cooled.
NotebookSize Compact Body
PTLB20VU is 1111/16˝ wide by 81/4˝ deep—
about the size of a sheet of paper—and only 
29/16˝ high. It slips easily into a bag or brief
case. The compact size makes the PTLB20VU
highly mobile and minimizes the space required
for presentations or storage.
UltraLightweight: 4.6 lbs (2.1 kg)
At only 4.6 lbs, PTLB20VU won’t weigh you
down — even when you’re toting along a note
book PC as well. Convenient size and weight are
just two reasons why the PTLB20VU is the logical choice for mobile presentations.• Shortthrow zoom lens

EcologyConscious Design
Panasonic meticulously works to minimize environmental impact in the prod
uct design, production and delivery processes, and in the performance of the
product itself over its life cycle. The PTLB20VU reflects the following ecologi
cal considerations.
•Leadfree solder is used to mount components to the printed circuit boards.
• No halogenated flame retardants are used in the cabinet.
•No styrofoam is used in the packing materials.
• Leadfree glass is used for the lens.
• The packing case and operating manual are made from recycled paper.

NOTES ON USE
• The projector uses a highvoltage 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.
• The lamp, LCD panel, polarizing plate, and polarizing beam splitter (PBS) are consumable parts. These parts may need to be replaced dur 
ing the guarantee period if the projector is used for six or more hours
per day.
• The replacement cycle of the LCD panel, polarizing plate, and polarizing beam splitter (PBS) will be shortened if the projector is subjected to\
continuous use for six or more hours. Likewise,the replacement c ycle
of the lamp will be shortened if the power is frequently turned on and
off or the projector is subjected to continuous use for 10 or more hours\
.
