Setting-up dimensions which are not given in the above table can be calculated using the formulas below.
If the screen size is SD, then the following formula is first used to obtain the screen width (SW).
$$ \mathrm{SW} (\mathrm{m}) = \mathrm{SD} \times 0. 0 2 5 4 \div 5 \times 4 $$
The value for SW obtained above can then be used with the following functions to calculate the projection distance.
$$ \mathrm{LW} (\mathrm{m}) = 1. 9 8 \times \mathrm{SW} $$
$$ \mathrm{LT} (\mathrm{m}) = 2. 5 7 \times \mathrm{SW} $$
For 16:9 aspect ratios, the following formula can be used to calculate the screen width (SW) and the projection distance for the wide lens position.
$$ \mathrm{SW} (\mathrm{m}) = \mathrm{SD} \times 0. 0 2 5 4 \div 1 8. 3 6 \times 1 6 $$

The signal from the source which is connected to the RGB/YPBPR IN connector is projected.
This terminal accepts input of RGB input signals from a personal computer and DTV Format signals (RGB, YPBPR) from a DVD or a digital broadcast. No monitor or projector can automatically decide whether a Component signal is the RGB-type or the YPBPR-type. So, you will have to select either RGB or YPBPR manually.
The signal from the source which is connected to the S-VIDEO IN connector or VIDEO IN connector is projected. If cables are connected to both connectors, the S-VIDEO signal will be selected automatically. (The S-VIDEO signal has priority.) If you would like to project the VIDEO signals being input to the VIDEO IN connector, do not connect any cables to the S-VIDEO IN connector.
Changing the input signal
Note
- To turn off the input signal on-screen display, please see "Turning off the input signal display".
- Only one audio system circuit is available for the AUDIO IN jack, so if you wish to change the audio input source, you will need to remove and insert the appropriate plugs.
- The LCD Projector is shipped from the factory with the system format selection function set to “AUTO”. If the correct picture is not projected when S-VIDEO/VIDEO signal is input and it is necessary to change the input to match the input signal, refer to “S-VIDEO/VIDEO Signal Format Selection”.
- Please refer to the “Setting of the RGB/YPBPR Input Signal Selection” if you change the signal input to the RGB/YPBPR connector.
- When RGB signal is input, please input the registered signals found.

Note
If the dust cannot be removed by cleaning, it is time to replace the air filter.
Lamp Replacement
Warning
If the Lamp does not light and the LAMP STATUS Code is “L-n,” If the Lamp will not light after turning on the main power 2 or 3 times, the Lamp may be damaged. If the Lamp still does not light, the Lamp may be damaged. Because Lamp fragments could cause injury, DO NOT attempt to replace Lamp yourself. Take the LCD Projector to your dealer for repair.
STATUS Code display
natural_image
Exterior view of a silver projector with ventilation grille and control panel (no visible text or symbols)■ Lamp replacement period
The LCD Projector lamp has a limited operating life of approximately 2 000 hours. If lamp operation time exceeds 1 900 hours, “L-1” is displayed as the STATUS Code.
"Lamp replacement is recommended." will be displayed on-screen when operation time reaches 1 900 hours.
Lamp replacement is recommended.
Take the LCD Projector to your dealer for repair. (Order Lamp ET-LAC50.)
- When the lamp operation time has exceeded 1900 hours, a warning will appear for 15 seconds when the LCD Projector power is turned on.
Lamp Replacement
■ In case lamp time reaches 2 000 hours
The LCD Projector will shut itself OFF and the STATUS Code indication becomes “L-0”.
- The on-screen display urging you to replace the lamp unit will be displayed for five minutes after the power has been turned on, the power will then automatically go off and it will enter the standby mode.
Unless you change to a new lamp, POWER will be off 5 minutes later.
Note
The lamp used as the light source eventually wears out. The service life of the light source lamp used on the PT-LC70U is about 2 000 hours, but depending on the individual lamp's properties and the usage conditions the lamp may no longer light after less than 2 000 hours (the lamp is affected by the number of times the lamp is lit and the time span until it is relit, and these may shorten the service life). Because of this, we recommend having a replacement lamp on hand.
Signals that can be Input
The projection mode will be matched automatically to one of the modes which have been pre-set inside the Projector.
If a signal which differs greatly from any of the types listed below is input, the picture image may not be displayed correctly, or a blue background may be displayed.

Note
- If using a signal source with poor picture quality, such as a dubbed tape, it may not be possible to get the picture to display properly.
- The display may not always appear correctly if a monochrome signal is input when set to “Auto”. If the correct display is not obtained, input a color signal temporarily and select a setting other than “Auto”.
Blue (Black) Screen with No Input Signal
The LCD Projector is equipped with an internal Blue (Black) Screen function which turns the screen blue black when the video or personal computer equipment connected to the input jack is turned off, or when there is nothing connected to the input jack.
- If the power is turned on when no input signal is input to the LCD Projector, the screen will turn blue. The Focus screen appears only until the video or personal computer equipment is connected to the input jack and turned on.
- During operation, if the input signal is terminated, the screen goes black and “No Signal” will be displayed.
- If an unrecognizable signal is input, the screen goes black and "Signal" is displayed.
- When RGB signal is input, please input the registered signals found on "Signals that can be Input".
