The projection lens is extremely susceptible to vibration and
shocks. When moving the projector, use the accessory
carrying bag. When placing the projector inside the carrying
bag, position it so that the lens is facing upward.
Cautions regarding setting-up
Avoid setting up in places which are subject to vibration
or shocks.
The internal parts can be damaged, which may cause
malfunctions or accidents.
Do not set up the projector near high-voltage power lines
or near motors.
The projector may be subject to electromagnetic interference.
If installing the projector to the ceiling, ask a qualified
technician to carry out all installation work.
You will need to purchase the separate installation kit (Model

Notes on use
Preparation
Cautions when moving the projector
In order to get the best picture quality
Draw curtains or blinds over any windows and turn off any
fluorescent lights near the screen to prevent outside light or
light from indoor lamps from shining onto the screen.
Do not touch the surfaces of the lens with your bare
hands.
If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or
anything else, this will be magnified and projected onto the
screen. Moreover, when not using the projector, retract the
lens and then cover it with the accessory lens cover.
About the screen
Do not apply any volatile substances which may cause
discolouration to the screen, and do not let it become dirty or
damaged.
About the lamp
The lamp may need to be replaced earlier due to variables
such as individual lamp characteristics, usage conditions and
the installation environment, especially when the projector is
subjected to continuous use for more than 10 hours or the
power is frequently turned on and off.
If using this projector at high elevations (above 1400 m),
set the FAN CONTROL to HIGH. (Refer to page 43.)
Failure to observe this may result in malfunctions.

Notes on connections
B Read the instruction manual for each system component carefully before connecting it.
B Turn off the power supply for all components before making any connections.
B If the cables necessary for connecting a component to the system are not included with the component
or available as an option, you may need to fashion a cable to suit the component concerned.
B If there is a lot of jitter in the video signal which is input from the video source, the picture on the
screen may flicker. In such cases, it will be necessary to connect a TBC (time base corrector).
B Refer to the list on page 58 for details on compatible signals which can be
input to the projector.
B Only one audio system circuit is available for the AUDIO IN L-R jacks, so if you wish to
change the audio input source, you will need to remove and insert the appropriate plugs.

B Vertical keystone distortion can be corrected to ±30° of the angle of tilt. Horizontal
keystone distortion can be corrected to ±20° of the angle of tilt for the PT-LC80E.
However, the greater the correction amount, the more the picture quality will
deteriorate, and the harder it will become to achieve a good level of focus. To obtain
the best picture quality, set up the projector and screen in such a way that the amount
of keystone correction required is as minimal as possible.

S1 video signals
B S1 video signals are a type of
video signal with an aspect ratio
of 16:9 which include a detector
signal. This detector signal is
output by some sources such as
wide-vision video decks. If the
AUTO setting above is selected,
this projector will recognise the
detector signal and automatically
switch the aspect ratio to 16:9 in
order to project the picture.

Adjustments and settings
When the input signal is RGB, first
press the AUTO SETUP button to
initiate automatic positioning.
If the optimum setting is not
obtained when AUTO SETUP is
carried out, adjust by the following
procedure.
40-ENGLISH
RESIZING
This should normally be set to “ON”.
(This setting is only for signals
which have lower resolutions than
the LCD panels. Refer to page 58
for details.)
ON
The pixel resolution of the input
signal is converted to the same
resolution as the LCD panels before
being projected. For signals with
lower resolutions, gaps in the pixels
are automatically interpolated into
the picture before it is projected.
This may sometimes cause
problems with the quality of the
picture.
OFF
The picture signal is projected at its
original resolution, with no pixel
conversion. The projected picture
will be smaller than normal, so
adjust the zoom setting or move the
projector forwards or backwards to
adjust the picture size if necessary.
If set to “OFF”, some features, such
as D.ZOOM (digital zoom),
keystone distortion correction or
INDEX WINDOW will not function.

Adjustments and settings
NOTE:
B This projector is equipped with an
aspect ratio selection function.
However, if a mode which does
not match the aspect ratio of the
input signal is selected, it may
affect the quality of viewing of the
original picture. Keep this in mind
when selecting the aspect ratio.
B If using this projector in places
such as cafes or hotels with the
aim of displaying programmes for
viewing for a commercial purpose
or for public presentation, note
that if the aspect ratio (16:9)
selection function is used to
change the aspect ratio of the
screen picture, you may be
infringing the rights of the original
copyright owner for that
programme under copyright
protection laws.
B If a normal (4:3) picture which was
not originally intended for widescreen viewing is projected onto a
wide screen, distortion may occur
around the edges of the picture so
that part of the picture is no longer
visible. Such programmes should
be viewed in 4:3 mode to give
proper consideration to the aims
and intentions of the original
programme’s creator.
FRAME LOCK
If the picture’s condition is bad while
a RGB moving picture signal is

B After having removed the old
lamp, carelessly discarding it can
cause the lamp to burst. Dispose
of the lamp with the same care
that would be taken with a
fluorescent light.

Lamp unit replacement
period
The lamp is a consumable product.
Even when the full life of the bulb
has not been exhausted, the
brightness of the light will gradually
decline. Therefore periodic
replacement of the lamp is
necessary.
The intended lamp replacement
interval is 2000 hours, but it is
possible that the lamp may need to
be replaced earlier due to variables
such as a particular lamp’s
characteristics, usage conditions
and the installation environment.
Early preparation for lamp
replacement is encouraged.
A lamp that has exceeded 2000
hours of use has a much greater
chance of exploding. In order to
prevent the lamp from exploding,
the lamp will be automatically shut
off when 2000 hours of use have
been reached.
NOTE:
B The usage hours explained
above are for use when the
HIGH setting has been
selected for LAMP POWER in
the OPTION2 menu. If the
LOW setting is selected, the
brightness of the lamp will be
less and life of the lamp can be
extended.

Projection dimensions calculation methods
If the screen size (diagonal) is SD (m), then the following formula is used to
calculate the projection distance for the wide lens position (LW) and the
projection distance for the telephoto lens position (LT).
