PT-VX42Z LCD Projectors For a screen size different from the above, use the equation below to calculate the projection distance. Aspect ratio 4:3 minimum L (m) = (diagonal screen size in inches) × 0.0243 – 0.0294 maximum L (m) = (diagonal screen size in inches) × 0.0391 – 0.0319 NOTE: Distances calculated with the above equations will include a slight error.
PT-VX42Z LCD Projectors List of compatible signals The signals that can be input to this projector are shown in the table below. Horizontal scanning fre- quencies of 15 kHz to 80 kHz (15 kHz to 100 kHz for RGB signals), vertical scanning frequencies of 50 Hz to 120 Hz (50 Hz to 100 Hz for RGB signals), and a dot clock of 162 MHz maximum imum for RGB signals) can be input.
PT-VX42Z LCD Projectors Serial connector The serial connector complies with RS-232C. To control the projector from a personal computer, com- mands must be input through communication software, based on the format and satisfying the commu- nication conditions shown below.

PT-VX42Z LCD Projectors Notes on projector placement and operation The projector uses a high-wattage lamp that becomes very hot during operation. Please observe the following precautions. Never place objects on top of the projector while it is operating. Make sure there is the unobstructed space as shown below or more around the projector’s exhaust openings.
PT-VX42Z LCD Projectors Operating the projector continuously If the projector is to be operated continuously 12 hours or more, lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter. The lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter if the projector is operated repeatedly for short periods (one hour or less).
