Early Warning Software; Disposal; Cautions On Use - Panasonic PT-DZ780 Operating Instructions Manual

Early Warning Software

The projector supports "Early Warning Software", which monitors the status of the display (projector and flat panel
display) and the peripheral devices inside an intranet, and notifies of abnormality of such equipment and detects
signs of possible abnormality. Also, maintenance can be performed in advance, because this software gives
notification of approximate time to replace consumables of the display, to clean each part of the display, and to
replace the components of the display.
Depending on the type of license, the number of displays that can be registered for monitoring varies. Limited to
the first 90 days after installation in a computer, it is possible to register up to 2048 units of displays free of charge.
Download the software from Panasonic website (http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/pass/). It is necessary to
register and login to PASS

Cautions on use

rTo get a good picture quality
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 with the optional projection lens to the projector when you do
not use the projector.
rDLP chip
f The DLP chip 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.
f Directing a high-power laser beam onto the projection lens surface can damage the DLP chip.
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.
rLamp
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, frequent on/
off switching of the power greatly deteriorates the lamp and affects the lamp life.
f Continuous use for over one week will deteriorate the lamp. The degradation of the lamp due to continuous use
can be reduced by using the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [LAMP RELAY].
f In rare cases, the lamp bursts 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 166), "How to replace the lamp unit" (x page 167))
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.
