150% Improvement in 
Image Performance
Daylight View technology significantly improves
image performance. It achieves a 150% improve
ment in image performance and significantly
boosts color perception in bright rooms.
Vivid Colors in a Bright Room
Panasonic designed and adjusted its projector
image display based on use in a welllit room in
developing Da ylight View technology. This tech
nology greatly improves color perception in bright
rooms. Pale colors are divided into six basic color
components (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.
Highpower 220W
UHM™ lamp
The PTLB30U employs a newly developed
optical engine that features an aspherical
lens system for higher focusing precision.
T ogether with a highpower UHM™ lamp,
it allows the PT LB30U to deliver crisp,
bright images.

enables Panasonic projectors to
achieve the same image per

them, while consuming less power. This
helps to save energ y resources that
would otherwise be wasted.

he PTLB30U packs a wealth of advanced Panasonic technology
into a small, lightweight 5.5pound body. In fact, the PTLB30U is
the world’s lightest projector

five main patches of the GretagMacbeth color chart,under
room lighting conditions of 400 lux, when projecting an 80
inch image (measured diagonally)
*
2The Daylight View effect may vary depending on screen size,
screen gain, and surrounding brightness.

3The projector cannot be placed into a bag until the 
cooling f an stops operating.
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 opti
mizes color compensation in four steps according
to the environment. The Daylight View mode also
provides white balance adjustment settings for
both fluorescent and incandescent lamps to
match the room lighting.
2Second Speed Start
Speed Start slashes the time it takes to get your
presentation under way. The image appears with
in two seconds after you press the power button.
Behind this breakthrough is Panasonic’s highpre
cision lamp and lamp power supply— an advan
tage made possible by our advanced production
technology.
OneT ouch 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 gravity sensor detects the projector’s
angle relative to the floor and corrects for vertical
keystone distortion accordingly.
Direct Power Off
When the presenta tion is completed,Direct Power
Off lets you disconnect the power cable and move
the projector right away*

EcologyConscious Design
Panasonic meticulously works to minimize environmental impact in the prod\
uct design, production and deliver y processes,and in the performance of the
product itself o ver its life cycle. The PTLB30U reflects the following ecological
considerations.
• Leadfree solder is used to mount components to the printed circuit boar\
ds.
• 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 tha t it takes for the lamp to break or fail to illuminate varies
grea tly depending on individual lamp characteristics and usage
conditions.
• The brightness of the lamp will gradually decrease with use.
