PT-EZ770 Series LCD Projector

Product Information

The PT-EZ770T, PT-EW730T, and PT-EX800T are commercial use LCD
projectors manufactured by Panasonic. These projectors are equipped
with a three-pin grounding-type power plug and comply with Class A
of CISPR32. The projectors emit strong light from the lens and
heated air from the air exhaust port during operation.

Product Usage Instructions

Before using the projector, read the instructions carefully and
save the manual for future reference. Follow the attached
installation instructions to assure continued compliance. Use the
provided power cord and shielded interface cables when connecting

modifications to the equipment could void the user’s authority to
operate this device.

When setting up the projector, make sure to install the wall
outlet or circuit breaker near the equipment and in an easily
accessible location in case of any problems. If any problems occur,
cut off the power supply immediately to prevent fire or electric
shock.

Do not cover the air intake/exhaust ports during operation as
this can cause the projector to overheat and result in fire or
damage to the projector. Avoid placing the projector in narrow,
badly ventilated places or on cloth or papers that could be drawn
into the air intake port. Provide at least 1 m (40) of space
between any walls or objects and the exhaust port, and at least 50
cm (20) of space between any walls or objects and the intake port.
Keep your hands or other objects away from the air exhaust port to
avoid burns or damage.

Do not look at or place your skin into the light emitted from
the lens while the projector is being used as this can cause burns
or loss of sight. The projector emits strong light from the lens,
so be especially careful not to let young children look into the
lens. Turn off the power and unplug the projector before cleaning
or replacing the lamp to avoid electric shock.

Precautions for use
Cautions when transporting
f If you purchased the projector with the standard zoom lens, remove the lens cushion before use, and store it for the future use. When transporting the projector, move the lens to the home position and attach the lens cushion and the lens cover. For the steps to move the lens to the home position, refer to “Moving the lens to the home position” (x page 48).
Lens cushion f When transporting the projector, hold it securely by its bottom and avoid excessive vibration and impacts. They may damage
the internal components and result in malfunctions. f Do not transport the projector with the adjustable feet extended. Doing so may damage the adjustable feet.
Cautions when installing
rDo not set up the projector outdoors.
The projector is designed for indoor use only.
rDo not set up the projector in the following locations.
f Places where vibration and impacts occur such as in a car or vehicle: Doing so may cause damage to internal components or malfunction.
f Near the exhaust of an air conditioner: Depending on the conditions of use, the screen may fluctuate in rare cases due to the heated air from the air exhaust port or the hot or cooled air. Make sure that the exhaust from the projector or other equipment, or the air from the air conditioner does not blow toward the front of the projector.
f Places with sharp temperature fluctuations such as near lights (studio lamps): Doing so may shorten the life of the lamp, or result in deformation of the outer case due to heat, which may cause malfunctions. The operating environment temperature of the projector should be between 0 °C (32 °F) and 45 °C (113 °F) when using it at elevations lower than 1 400 m (4 593′) above sea level, and between 0 °C (32 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F) when using it at high altitudes (between 1 400 m (4 593′) and 2 700 m (8 858′) above sea level).
f Near high-voltage power lines or near motors: Doing so may interfere with the operation of the projector.
rBe sure to ask a specialized technician or your dealer when installing the projector on a ceiling.
The optional Ceiling Mount Bracket is required. Model No.: ET-PKE200H (for High Ceilings), ET-PKE200S (for Low Ceilings), ET-PKE200B (Projector Mount Base)
rAsk a qualified technician or your dealer to install the cable wiring for DIGITAL LINK connection.
Image and sound may be disrupted if cable transmission characteristics cannot be obtained due to inadequate installation.
rThe projector may not work properly due to strong radio wave from the broadcast station or the radio.
If there is any facility or equipment, which outputs strong radio wave, near the installation location, install the projector at a location sufficiently far from the source of the radio wave. Or, wrap the LAN cable connected to the <DIGITAL LINK/LAN> terminal by using a piece of metal foil or a metal pipe, of which is grounded at both ends.
rProjection Lens
Be sure to use the standard zoom lens supplied with the projector (PT-EZ770T, PT-EW730T, PT-EX800T only) or the specified Projection Lens (optional). The standard zoom lens supplied with PT-EZ570U, PT-EW630U, PT-EW530U, PT-EX600U, PT-EX500U is different from the lens of this projector. Using it may result in malfunction or damage. Do not use it.
14 – ENGLISH

Chapter 1Preparation — Precautions for use
rFocus adjustment
The projection lens is thermally affected by the light from the light source, making the focus unstable in the period just after switching on the power. Before adjusting the lens focus, wait at least 30 minutes with the image projected.
rDo not install the projector at elevations of 2 700 m (8 858′) or higher above sea level.
Doing so may shorten the life of the components and result in malfunctions.
rDo not use the projector tilted to the right or left.
Using the projector at a vertical angle that exceeds 15° may reduce product life or result in malfunction.
rCautions when setting up the projector
f When installing and using the projector with a method other than the floor standing installation using the adjustable feet, fix the projector using the four screw holes for ceiling mount (as shown in the figure). (Screw diameter: M6, tapping depth inside the set: 12 mm (15/32″), torque: 4 ± 0.5 N·m) Prevent a gap forming between the setting surface and the screw holes for ceiling mount on the projector bottom, for example, by inserting spacers (metallic) between them. Screw holes for ceiling mount (M6)
Adjustable feet
The positions of screw holes for ceiling mount and adjustable feet f Use the adjustable feet only for the floor standing installation and for adjusting the angle. Using them for other purposes may
damage the projector. f Do not stack projectors on top of each other. f Do not use the projector supporting it by the top. f Do not use the projector tilted at an angle that exceeds ±15° from the horizontal plane. f Do not block the ventilation ports (intake and exhaust) of the projector.

Cautions on use
rTo get a good picture quality
f In order to view a beautiful image in higher contrast, prepare an appropriate environment. Draw curtains or blinds over windows and turn off any lights near the screen to prevent outside light or light from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen.
rDo not touch the surface of the Projection Lens with your bare hands.
If the surface of the Projection Lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen. Attach the lens cover supplied with the projector or the optional Projection Lens when you do not use the projector.

Chapter 1Preparation — Precautions for use
rLCD panel
f The LCD panel is precision-made. Note that in rare cases, pixels of high precision could be missing or always lit. Note that such phenomena do not indicate malfunction. If still images are projected for a long time, a residual image may remain on the LCD panel. Note that the residual image may not disappear.
rOptical parts
When the operating environment temperature is high or in environments where lots of dust, cigarette smoke, etc. is present, the replacement cycle of the LCD panel, deflection panel and other optical parts may be shorter even if used for less than one year. Consult your dealer for details.
rDo not move the projector or subject it to vibration or impact while it is operating.
Doing so may shorten the life of the built-in motor.
r Lamp
The light source of the projector is a high-pressure mercury lamp. A high- pressure mercury lamp has the following characteristics. f The luminance of the lamp will decrease by duration of usage. f The lamp may burst with a loud sound or have its service life shortened because of shock, chipping, or degradation due to
cumulative runtime. f The lamp life varies greatly depending on individual differences and usage conditions. In particular, continuous use for 12
hours or more and frequent off/on switching of the power greatly deteriorate the lamp and affects the lamp life. f In rare cases, the lamps burst shortly after projection starts. f The risk of bursting increases when the lamp is used beyond its replacement cycle. Make sure to replace the lamp unit
regularly. (“When to replace the lamp unit” (x page 129), “How to replace the lamp unit” (x page 129)) f If the lamp bursts, gas contained inside of the lamp is released in the form of smoke. f It is recommended that you store the Replacement Lamp Unit as a contingency.
rComputer and external device connections
f When connecting a computer or an external device, read this manual carefully regarding the use of power cords and shielded cables as well.
Disposal
To dispose of the product, ask your local authorities or dealer for correct methods of disposal. The lamp contains mercury. When disposing of used lamp units, contact your local authorities or dealer for correct methods of disposal.
