Product Outline

This is a high-luminance DLP ^™ based projector which is powered by a single-phase, 3-wire type 200 V–240 V power supply. It utilizes three RGB DMD ^™ chips and a high-output xenon lamp. By fitting a projection lens and input module (sold separately) in accordance with the setting-up location and the type of input signal, it can project images onto screens from 2,5 m (100 inches) to 15 m (600 inches) in size.

By installing an input module (sold separately), the unit can handle various types of RGB signals, chrominance signals for high-vision TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signalling)-type digital interface, and also NTSC, NTSC4.43, PAL, SECAM, PAL-M, PAL60, PAL-N video signals, Y/C signals and serial digital (SDI) signals. etc.

Besides this, the projector is equipped with an RS-232C / RS-422 connector so that it can be controlled by means of a personal computer or signal selector.

Other functions available include selection of the projection method (ceiling/floor/rear), an ID number assignment function which is useful for controlling multiple projectors simultaneously, keystone(trapezoidal distortion)correction and a lens focus/position adjustment (optical axis shift) function. All settings and adjustments during the setting-up process can be carried out easily by using on-screen menus.

In addition, a self-diagnosis display function is also provided. This function generates and displays a two-digit error code to notify you if a problem occurs with operation of the projector.

DMD™ chip's aspect ratio is 4:3 on the PT-D9510E or 5:4 on the PT-D9610E.

Features

Contrast of 1000:1 realized

A contrast of 1 000 : 1 (Contrast mode; When super), which match that of e-cinema is realized using a new 1 600 W xenon lamp and luminous control technology.

Network functions are standard equipment

The unit can be controlled from a PC using a LAN interface, and also has an e-mail automatic send function, so the implementation of a remote control or central control system for handling unit problems is easy.

High-density, high-quality computer images can also be projected

The projector utilizes a DLP ^™ (Digital Light Processing) system which incorporates an 0.9-inch(for the PT-D9510E)/1.1-inch (for the PT-D9610E) DMD ^™ (Digital Micromirror Device) having a display resolution of 1 024 x 768 dots(for the PT-D9510E)/1 280 x 1 024 dots(for the PT-D9610E) that produces a three-layer image from R, G and B layers.

This system produces images with high resolution and color reproduction which is faithful to the source. Because it can handle dot clock frequencies ranging from 20 MHz to 162 MHz, computer images with signal resolutions of up to 1 600 x 1 200 dots can also be input. However, if the display resolution is greater than 1 024 x 768 dots (for the PT-D9510E)/1 280 x 1 024 dots (for the PT-D9610E), A-PIC (Advanced Panasonic Intelligent Compression) automatically converts the image to a resolution of 1 024 x 768 dots (for the PT-D9510E)/1 280 x 1 024 dots (for the PT-D9610E) without causing any lines or characters to disappear, and without causing any flickering.

A new processing circuit for moving images provides excellent moving image quality

The adoption of a new type of processing circuit exclusively for moving images converts the signals to images which are comfortable to view with no flickering or loss of quality from the image source.

Features

Projects a wide range of image sizes from 2,5 m (100 inches) to 15 m (600 inches)

By attaching different projection lenses (sold separately) that match the requirements of the setting-up location, images of any size between 2,5 m (100 inches) and 15 m(600 inches) with an aspect ratio of 4:3(PT-D9510E), 5:4(PT-D9610E) can be projected, depending on the projection distance. When using the fixed focus lens, the available picture size is from 2,5 m (100 inches) to 4.5 m (180 inches) diagonal for the PT-D9510E, and from 2,5 m (100 inches) to 5 m (200 inches) diagonal for the PT-D9610E.

The flexibility in installation format (ceiling/floor/rear), keystone compensation, and optical axis shifting capability combine to allow for installation in limited spaces.

A variety of different input sources can be used

By installing input modules (sold separately), the unit can handle various video sources, including: analog RGB signals, component signals for high-vision etc., PC digital signals (TMDS), video signals (NTSC, PAL, SECAM, NTSC4.43, PAL-M, PAL-60, PAL-N), Y/C signals, and serial digital (SDI) signals. Up to three input modules can be installed, and there are no limitations on module combinations.

Compatible with high-resolution systems used for multi-screen projection.

This projector is equipped with a system (Edge Blending adjustment and Color Matching adjustment) to blend edges of images projected from several projectors to create a large high-resolution screen. A high-resolution system structure can be created without purchasing separately sold units and is thereby cost-saving

Other useful functions also included

In addition to an on-screen setting display function, the projector is also provided with a built-in memory which can store up to 64 signal sources plus several test patterns for checking adjustment levels.

In addition, a self-diagnosis display function is also provided. This function generates and displays a two-digit error code to notify you if a problem occurs with operation of the projector.

Do not move the projector after it has been installed and adjusted.

- After installation and adjustment of the projector have been completed, do not change the distance from the projector to the screen, and do not move the position of the projector, otherwise the colours may become unbalanced and readjustment may be necessary. Be particularly careful of this when the projector is installed using the floor method.

Allow enough space around the projector for maintenance to be carried out.

- Leave at least 80 cm(2.6 feet) of free space on all sides of the projector to allow enough room for adjustments and maintenance to be carried out.

We are in effort to hold your environmental clean.

Please bring the non repairable unit your Dealer or a Recycling Company.

Notes on use

In order to get the best picture quality

- If outside light or light from indoor lamps is shining onto the screen, the images projected will not have good contrast. Draw curtains or blinds over any windows, turn off any fluorescent lights near the screen and cover any highly-reflective floor and wall surfaces with carpet or wallpaper to prevent reflection.

Do not touch the surface of the projection lens with your bare hands.

- Do not touch your hands against the surface of the lens. If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the screen.

About the screen

- If the screen you are using is dirty, damaged or discoloured, attractive projections cannot be obtained. Do not apply any volatile substances to the screen, and do not let it become dirty or damaged.

Cleaning and maintenance

Always disconnect the power plug from the power source as a safety precaution before carrying out cleaning and maintenance.

Wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth.

- If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water with a small amount of neutral detergent in it, squeeze the cloth very well, and then wipe the cabinet. After cleaning, wipe the cabinet dry with a dry cloth. If using a chemically-treated cloth, read the instructions supplied with the cloth before use.

Do not wipe the lenses with a cloth that is dusty or which produces lint.

- If any dust or lint gets onto the lenses, such dust or lint will be magnified and projected onto the screen. Use the blower end of a vacuum cleaner to clean any dust and lint from the lens surfaces, or use a clean, soft cloth to wipe off any dust or lint. When wiping the surface of the lens, be sure to wipe in a single direction. If you move the cloth over the lens surface in different directions, it may cause any dirt to be rubbed into the surface of the lens instead of being cleaned away.

A strap is provided with the remote control unit. You can use this strap to hang the remote control unit around your neck for easy carrying. Attach the strap as shown in the illustrations below.

- Open the battery compartment cover Attach the supplied strap as shown in this illustration and close battery compartment cover.

Operating range of remote control unit

- When using remote control unit without the cable, refer to the illustration below for operating range.

NOTE

If facing the remote control unit towards the screen to operate the projector, the operating range of remote control unit will be limited by the amount of light reflection loss caused by the characteristics of the screen used.

Using the remote control unit with the cable

The remote control unit can be connected to the projector using the accessory remote control cable.

This cable should be connected to the REMOTE IN2 IN terminal at the front of the projector and to the remote control cable terminal.

Note:

- The maximum length for the cable used to connected the remote control unit is 15 m (49 feet).

• Using REMOTE IN 1 Terminal
  [Projector]
  

Because each pin of the REMOTE IN 1 terminal is controlled by its open (H) or short (L) as shown in the table below, the addition of an external control circuit allows the external control for the projector power supply on and off, the change of the input terminal, and the switching of the input signal system.

• To perform external contact control of the projector, turn off the MAIN POWER switch of the projector, then set pin 9 of the REMOTE IN 1 terminal to the external contact control mode (short) using the external control circuit, and then turn on the MAIN POWER switch of the projector.
• When controlling the projector using the external control circuit, the external contact control mode (short) at pin 9 disables the buttons on the projector operating panel and the remote control unit for the projector power supply on and off and the change of the input terminal functions.

NOTE

• The projector will continue to draw approximately 13 W of power when it is in standby mode, even after the cooling fan has stopped.
• The lamp cooling fan will continue to operate for approximately five minutes after the power is turned off. At the same time, the self-diagnosis display “FC” will blink.

Do not disconnect the power cord from the power outlet or do not open any circuit breakers while the cooling fan is still operating.

• When projecting a picture for the first time after setting up the projector, first press the LENS button on the remote control unit or the projector operating panel, and then use the control level buttons (+ and -) to adjust the basic focus.
• Turning on the power at an ambient temperature of about 0^ may require a warm-up time of approximately five minutes to start projecting a picture.

Codes such as "C1, C2, or C3" will appear in the self-diagnosis display during the warm-up.

After the warm-up, the self-diagnosis display will turn off and the projector will project a picture.

- If the ambient temperature is too low and the warm-up time exceeds five minutes, the power will automatically be turned off as an abnormal condition. In this case, increase the ambient temperature to 0^ or higher and then perform the operations "Main power ON Standby ON" again.

Before using the projector

The projection lenses and input modules which are available for use with this projector need to be purchased separately, and must be installed to the projector before the projector can be used.

NOTE

- Obtain the required projection lenses and input modules beforehand in accordance with the projection distance and the system used.

- When installing an optional input module, refer to page 28 for details.

Installing the projection lens

Install a projection lens (sold separately) which is appropriate for the projector setting-up conditions.

Setting procedure

①Remove the lens caps (one each at front and back) from the projection lens.

②Insert the projection lens into the lens holder and turn it clockwise until it is securely in place.

NOTE

- Because a projection lens is considerably heavy, be careful not to drop it during installation.

- If inserting the projection lens into the lens holder too strongly, the lens may jam into the holder. To prevent this problem, do this work carefully.

Setting up the projector

- After determining the installation position of the projector and screen in consideration of the audience positions, install them according to the chapter "Projection distance for each projection lens (sold separately)" on pages 20 - 23.

L : Projection distance between the screen and the centre of the front foot of the projector.

A: Distance between the centre of the lens and the top of the setting table (including the height of a foot of the projector), 288 mm – 313 mm (11.5" – 12.5") (The height of each foot is adjustable.)

C: Distance between the bottom of the foot and the floor (height of the setting table) Set this distance so that the distance between the centre of the lens and the floor can become equal to that between the lowest edge of the screen and the floor.

• Installing the screen

After determining the installation position of the screen in consideration of the screen characteristics and the audience positions, install it using the procedure specified by screen manufacture.

• Installing the projector

Install the projector by observing the items below and referring to the above "Installation drawing of the projector and screen" and the drawing at left.

- Set the lens centre position of the projector to the same height as the lower edge of the effective height of the screen. (If the projector position is lower than the reference position, prepare a setting table that has a height of the above "C".)

- Set the centre line of the projector to the position facing the vertical line 188 mm(7.4") away from the centre line of the screen to the right.

- Set the centre position of the front foot of the projector to the position of the projection distance (L) specified according to the projection lens and the target picture size.

Installing to the ceiling (Including direct rear-projection)

- Using the projector by installing to the ceiling requires an optional ceiling mount bracket (ET-PKD95).

For the projection distance (L), refer to the chapter "Projection distance for each projection lens (sold separately)" on pages 20 - 23.

For the procedures to install the ceiling mount bracket on the projector and mount the suspension bolts on the ceiling surface, refer to the installation instructions supplied with ET-PKD95.

- Locating the positions to mount the suspension bolts on the ceiling surface

Locate the centre-hole position of the ceiling side of the optional ceiling mount bracket (ET-PKD95) by the procedure below. For the procedure to install to the ceiling, refer to the installation instructions of the optional ceiling mount bracket (ET-PKD95).

• Put a mark on the ceiling surface at the upwardly straight point of a distance of 188 mm(7.4") from the screen centre to the left.
• Draw a line in a direction at right angles to the screen from marked point.
• Put another mark on the ceiling surface at the point where the centre position of the ceiling side of the ceiling mount bracket will be set. The point is at a distance of D + L from the screen.

Projection distance for each projection lens

(sold separately)

The required projection distance depends on not only the target picture size but also the type of an optional projection lens. Obtain the appropriate projection lens for the installation space by referring to the projection distance for each projection lens shown in the table below and on the next page.

- Input slot numbers

The bays (slots) in which the input modules are inserted are numbered 1, 2 and 3 in order starting from the top, as shown in the illustration at left.

The slots can be used in any order, and the same type of input module can be inserted into more than one slot at the same time. In addition, the projector will automatically detect which input module has been inserted into which slot.

It is necessary to select VIDEO or Y/C input and adjust the input signal after the input module has been inserted.

NOTE

• The signal sources connected to the input modules can each be selected by specifying the respective slot number using the input select buttons on the remote control unit or the projector operating panel. For details on selecting the input source refer to page 40.
• Modules other than the optional specified ones cannot be inserted into the slots 1, 2, and 3.

Installing the input modules

Disconnect the power supply from the projector before installing any of the input modules.

Installation procedure

① Remove the two screws which are holding the slot cover where the input module is to be installed, and then remove the slot cover.
② Fit the input module into the slot rails, and then push the input module in until it is seated in the connector, while being careful not to bump any of the module components.
③ Tighten the two screws to secure module in place.

① Remove the slot cover

② Insert the input module

③ Secure the input module

④ Register input signal
- With this equipment, it is necessary to store the input signal after installing the input module. (Refer to pages 42 and 43 for details on registering input signals.)

NOTE

• Up to three input modules can be installed.
• Do not remove any of the covers on spare slots where no input module has been installed.
• Be sure to install input modules in the slot 1, slot 2 and slot 3 positions.

Connecting the input module signal source

When setting up the projector, you will need to connect the signal source to an input module according to the type of signal being input.

Setting and specifying ID numbers

This projector is provided with an ID number function, so that if multiple projectors are being used together, the projectors can be controlled all at once or separately using a single remote control unit.

Because the factory pre-setting of the ID number is ALL, using only one projector do not require this setting.

Setting ID numbers

Setting procedure

①Press the MENU button. ... The MENU screen will be displayed.
②Press the UP(▲ and DOWN( ) ▼row buttons to select OPTION.

③Press the ENTER button. ... The OPTION screen will be displayed.
④ Press the LEFT(✗ and RIGHT( )arrow buttons to change the value.

(ALL, 1, 2, ..., 64)

⑤Press the MENU button twice. ... This completes the setting.

- The setting is complete. At that time, the on-screen display will disappear and the screen will return to the normal state.

NOTE

• The ID numbers can be set to ALL or to a number from 1 to 64.
• The ID number is set to ALL at the time of shipment from the factory.
• When setting ID numbers, the ID number of the remote control unit must match the ID number of the projector.
• All projectors which have had their ID numbers set to ALL will operate regardless of which number is specified when using the remote control unit or a personal computer to control the projectors. If the projector is connected to other projectors and its ID number is set to ALL, it will not be possible to control the projector separately from other projectors with different ID number settings.

Setting remote control unit ID numbers

When an ID number has been assigned for a projector, you then need to assign the same ID number as the projectors to be controlled to the remote control unit which is to be used to operate these projectors, otherwise the remote control unit cannot be used.

Because the factory pre-setting of the projector ID number is ALL, using only one projector requires the use of the ID ALL button on the remote control unit for this setting.

Setting method

Within 5 seconds of pressing the ID SELECT button, use the NEXT button to set the tens digit of the ID number which has been assigned to the projector, and then use the numeric buttons (0 to 9) to set the units digit.

However, if the ID ALL button is pressed, the remote control unit will operate the projector regardless of which ID number has been assigned to the projector.

• If the NEXT button or a numeric button is not pressed within 5 seconds of pressing the ID SELECT button, the ID number will return to the setting prior to when the ID SELECT button was pressed.
• Setting an ID number for the remote control unit can be carried out without needing the projector, so be careful not to press the ID SELECT button inadvertently.
• Once an ID number has been assigned to the remote control unit, that ID number will be stored in the remote control unit until it is again changed. However, if the remote control unit is left with flat batteries inside it, the ID number setting will be cleared. When the batteries are replaced, re-assign the same ID number to the remote control unit.

If you do not know the ID number assigned to the projector

If you do not know what ID number has been assigned to the projector, turn on the projector so that it is operating, and then press the ID SELECT button. The ID number will then be displayed on the screen as shown at right.

The ID number for the projector can be set to ALL or to a number from 1 to 64.

Using the RS-232C connectors

The projector is equipped with a D-SUB 9-pin RS-232C input connector and RS-232C output connector which allow the projector to be controlled externally. These connectors conform to RS-232C specifications, and can be used by a computer which conforms to either RS-232 or RS-232C specifications.

Returning the network module settings to the factory shipment condition

The following procedure allows the user to reset all of the network module settings (such as the IP address, password and e-mail settings) to the factory shipment condition.

Procedure

①Using the "POWER" button on the remote control, set the unit power supply to the standby state.
②Using an object with a pointed tip, press and hold the FUNCTION switch for 3 seconds. The ON-LINE lamp will flash, and then go out about 30 seconds later.
③Turn off the MAIN POWER.
④ Using an object with a pointed tip, press and hold the FUNCTION switch and turn on the MAIN POWER. When the ON-LINE lamp begins flashing quickly, release the FUNCTION switch.
⑤When the ON-LINE lamp lights up, the procedure is complete.

NOTE

- Do not operate the FUNCTION switch with an object such as a pencil whose tip can break easily.

Cleaning the air filter

- If too much dust accumulates on the air filter, the temperature inside the projector will rise and may cause the power to turn off. Clean the air filter approximately every 500 hours of use (varies with the environment in which the projector is used).

CAUTION

Consult a service technician to clean or replace the air filter.

Replacing the lamp unit

DANGER

Some dangers are associated with the replacing of the lamp. If lamp replacement becomes necessary, have the lamp unit replaced by a qualified service person, experienced in working with Xenon lamps.

Notes on handling the lamp unit

- The lamp unit is sold separately and consult a Panasonic authorized dealer or service center.

Part No.: ET-LAD9610

Lamp unit replacement period

The life span of this lamp unit is 1 500 hours maximum, after which it will need replacing (recommended replacement time is 1 000 hours). in the normal usage mode. The operating life of the lamp also depends on the number of times it is turned on and off. Turning on and off the lamp at frequent intervals will decrease its operating life.

The projector has an automatic shut-off function that automatically stops the light emission of the lamp once its total usage time exceeds 1 500 hours to prevent any accidents caused by the end of its life. And the on-screen displays below appear according to its usage time.

• Warning display between 200 and 50 hours of lamp remain time The lamp remain time will be displayed in yellow at the bottom-left of the screen.
  (This display will disappear if any of the buttons on the remote control unit or projector are pressed.)

- Warning display between 50 and 0 hours of lamp remain time The lamp remain time will be displayed in red at the bottom-left of the screen for one minute. After this, it will repeatedly turn off for 30 minutes and then be displayed again for one minute. (This repeating display will be cancelled if any of the buttons on the remote control unit or projector are pressed.)

- Warning display after 0 hour of lamp remain time A warning message to urge the replacement of the lamp will be displayed in red at the bottom left of the screen for 10 minutes. After that, the automatic shut-off function will set the projector to the standby mode.

WARNING! LAMP REMAIN : 200h

WARNING! LAMP REMAIN : 50 h

WARNING! REPLACE THE LAMP

NOTE

• The lamp used as the light source has a maximum life span of 1,500 hours. However, the amount of time the lamp is turned on and the intervals between turning on, the environment in which the projector is used, and the individual characteristics of each lamp will affect this time. The light may flicker or fail to turn on before 1,500 hours has elapsed, so it is therefore recommended that a spare be made available.
• The lamp service life remaining time is the time the equipment has been used in LAMP POWER: NORMAL and CONTRAST MODE: NORMAL or HIGH.
