Panasonic Projector Pt Lw80ntu Specifications

							Elegant Styling, All-Round Versatility
PT-LW80NTU
LCD Projector 
						

							Panasonic’s new LCD projector PT-LW80NTU
is ideal for anyone who wants an easy-to-
use projector but doesn’t want to compro-
mise on image quality and performance. The
highly advanced dust-resistant design mini-
mizes image degradation by reducing the
entry of dust into the unit. The design
includes “gapless” touch-sensor controls on
the top panel and an airtight structure thatconcentrates the air intake into a single
location. Panasonic’s original Daylight View 4
feature provides bright, crisp images even in
brightly lit conditions. The PT-LW80NTU also
include an easy-to-use wireless function. In
short, the PT-LW80NTU incorporates the
unique essence and versatility of Panasonic
projector technologies while maintaining an
elegant design.
Style, Features and Convenience 
						

							Dust-Resistant Structure Minimizes
Image Degradation
After a projector has been used for some time,
dust particles that have entered the interior
accumulate on the optical components 
and lower performance. The PT-LW80NTU pre-
vents this with a unique dust-resistant design.
This totally redesigned package has touch-sen-
sor controls that eliminate the gaps around
conventional buttons and a lens cover. The
design also incorporates a cover that protects
the zoom/focus ring when not in use. These
features combine to help reduce dust entry.
Inside the projector, the airflow is efficiently
controlled by a structure that reduces contact
between external air and the optical compo-
nents. This all works together with the high-
performance Micro Cut Filter to minimize
image degradation.
Daylight View 4 Offers Clear, Crisp
Images Even in Bright Surroundings*
2
The PT-LW80NTU features Panasonic’s Daylight
View 4 technology. Sharp edges are achieved
with the new “Edge Enhancer Control” and
“Gamma Curve Control.” Remarkable detail is
provided and perceived brightness and contrast
are enhanced, so images appear crisp, vivid,
3-dimensional and easy to see even in brightly
lit rooms. Daylight View 4 also includes a built-
in ambient light sensor that automatically
detects room brightness and adjusts operation
accordingly.
Wide Images
The PT-LW80NTU features wide-aspect LCD
panels, which allow native reproduction of
WXGA (1,280 x 800) images from a computer.
This provides a visually powerful display of
wide-screen images from DVD sources, as well
as wide-screen images from wide-aspect com-
puters, which is already the mainstream.

When projecting images from a source with a wide aspect ratio onto a 4:3\
 screen, the projector reduces the image to use only
75% of the screen area. Also, wide-screen projection makes it possible to display larger images where \
the room for the screen
height is limited.

							Easy Wireless Projection
With the wireless capability of the
PT-LW80NTU, you don’t need cables to con-
nect a PC, either Windows
®or Mac®. That
means it’s easy to bring in a laptop (with a
wireless LAN function) and deliver a smooth,
hassle-free presentation. You can make the
connection settings quickly and easily using
the supplied Wireless Manager ME 5.0 soft-
ware. When the presentation is finished, Wire-
less Manager restores the PC to its previous
LAN settings, so the PC is ready to reconnect
to your LAN.
Multi Live Mode: Wireless Projection
from Multiple PCs
The PT-LW80NTU provide a host of convenient
wireless functions, including Live mode and
Multi-Live mode. In Live mode, the image pro-
jected is identical to the image seen on the PC
screen. In Multi-Live mode, you can wirelessly
connect with multiple PCs.
Other wireless functions include Wireless
Prompter (Secondary Display Transmission),
selective area transmission, and a 16-window
index style that lets you project images from
up to 16 PCs at the same time. Wireless
transmission is possible from one PC to a
maximum of eight projectors at a time.
Selective Area Transmission
By circling any area of the image, you can
specify the necessary information to enlarge
and display that area on the projection screen.
Projector Signal Map
The signal map graphically shows the strength
of wireless connection signals. This is conven-
ient, for example, when several projectors are
being used in adjacent school classrooms
because it lets the user know which projector
is to be used.
Extended Mac OS X Compatibility
In addition to its Windows Vista
®compatibility,
Wireless Manager ME 5.0 is fully compatible
with Mac OS X 10.4/10.5.*

Versatile Wireless Presentation
To begin wireless projection, simply use the
control panel (launcher) displayed in the PC
window.The same graphics
used on the projec-
tors remote control
can be displayed on
the PC screen. This
makes it easy to
operate the projector
right from the PC,
without having to use
the remote control.

							Elegant, Compact Design
The PT-LW80NTU has a sleek and elegant
appearance that matches its high-performance
capabilities. The projector blends well with 
virtually any room interior, whether it is placed
on a desktop or mounted on the ceiling. At
2.96 kg, its light weight and compact design
also make it easy to move around.
Quiet Operation
The PT-LW80NTU’s operating noise is reduced
to 29 dB,*
4which minimizes noise interruptions
during meetings or lectures.
Quick Operation
• Three-Second Speed Start: With Speed
Start, the image appears in about three sec-
onds after you press the power button.
• Auto Search: When a source is connected
and you switch the unit on, it automatically
detects what kind of source is connected and
begins projection.
• Real-Time Keystone Correction: The pro-
jector automatically senses if you adjust its
angle (vertical direction) during operation and
instantly makes whatever keystone correction
is necessary for optimum viewing.
• Direct Power Off: Because the cooling fan
keeps operating until the lamp is cooled, you
can disconnect the power cable and move the
projector as soon as your presentation is fin-
ished, or turn off the rooms main power when
the unit is mounted on the ceiling.
Ceiling-Installation Capability
The projector can be permanently installed on
the ceiling by using the optional ET-PKB80
ceiling mount bracket. Abundant Connection Terminals
Designed for versatility, each projector comes
equipped with a host of connection terminals.
The RS-232C specifications are the same as
in previous Panasonic models, so replacement
is quick and easy.
Easy Lamp Replacement from the Rear
For easier maintenance, you can replace the
lamp from the rear. The lamp is easily
replaced even after the projector is installed on
the ceiling.
Easy-to-Use Remote Control
The control range and distance have been
extended compared to previous models, and
the buttons are now larger and easier to use.

Ecology-Conscious Design
Panasonic works from every angle to minimize envi-
ronmental impact in the product design, production
and delivery processes, and in the performance of the
product itself over its life cycle. The PT-LW80NTU
reflects the following ecological considerations.
• Lead-free 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.
• Lead-free glass is used for the lens.
Each PT-LW80NTU projector is carefully
manufactured at the Panasonic factoryin Japan, under strict quality control.
This is another, very important advan-
tage of a Panasonic projector.
