1. Do not install the projector in locations that are subject to excessive water, humidity, steam, or oily smoke. Doing so may result in fire, malfunction,
or electric shock.
2. The projector uses a high-voltage mercury lamp that contains high internal pressure. This lamp may break, emitting a large sound, or fail to
illuminate, due to impact or extended use.
3. The projector uses of 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 operation.
• Make sure there is an unobstructed space of 500 mm or more around the projector’s exhaust openings.
• Do not stack projector units directly on top of one another for the purpose of multiple (stacked) projection.
When stacking projector units, be sure to provide the amount of space indicated between them. These space requirements also apply to
installation where only one projector unit is operating at one time and the other unit is used as a backup.
• If the projector is placed in a box or enclosure, temperature of the air surrounding the projector must be between 0°C and 35°C. Also make sure
the projector’s intake and exhaust openings are not blocked. Take particular care to ensure that hot air from the exhaust openings is not sucked
into the intake.

Also, if the ambient temperature exceeds 104°F (40°C) (95°F [35°C] in High-Altitude mode) when using all four lamps, the light output may be
reduced approximately 30% to protect the projector.
Specifications are the same as those for the DVI-D IN terminal on the main unit.

Lamp replacement cycle and
brightness guidelines
* The values above are maximum values when all 4 lamps
are replaced simultaneously, and when they are used in
cycles of being turned on for 3.5 hours and off for 0.5 hour.
When the lamps are turned on and off more frequently,
the lamp replacement cycle is shortened. (It is
recommended that the mechanical shutter be used to
turn images off for a short period.)
Detail Clarity Processor: Signal frequency
is extracted realtime and necessary
sharpness is applied at varying degrees for
natural, life-like images.
Conventional sharpness control:
Sharpness is applied uniformly, which can
cause a halo or ring effect.

New AC Lamp and Multi-Lamp System
Panasonic’s innovative 4-lamp optical
system uses newly developed 300-watt AC
lamps to deliver remarkable 12,000-lumen
brightness. The 4-lamp system means
superb reliability too – the projector keeps
working even if one lamp goes out. A full 24
hours of continuous operation is possible in
Lamp Relay mode.
Detail Clarity Processor
Exclusive to Panasonic, this new image-processing circuit analyzes
the video signal frequency range for each scene by extracting data on
the distribution of high, mid, and low-frequency components, and
brings out fine details accordingly. The resulting images have a more
natural, three dimensional appearance with crisp, clear detail.
Dynamic Iris
Panasonic’s Dynamic Iris uses a scene-linking aperture mechanism
to achieve a remarkable 5,000:1 contrast without lowering the
12,000-lumen brightness. It helps reproduce deeper, richer blacks
and gives images more detailed textures.
Full 10-Bit Processing
Use of a full 10-bit picture processing system helps achieve smooth
tonal expression. Complexions and other flesh tones look natural and
true-to-life, with accurate gradation.
Dual Link HD-SDI Signal Support (Optional)
Just add an ET-MD100SD4 expansion board and the projector supports
Dual Link HD-SDI signals. HD-SDI signals use two cables to achieve
twice the color resolution of the conventional single link system.
3D Color Management System
Some people like to view large-screen images from relatively close up to
get the maximum viewing impact. But at close range, the colors perceived
by the human eye tend to differ slightly from the original colors. The 3D
Color Management System solves this problem by enabling fine
adjustment of colors so they appear faithful to the originals when projected
onto a large screen.
System Daylight View
Screen visibility is lower when a projector is used during daylight
hours or in a room with lights on. Panasonic’s System Daylight View
circuit compensates for these brighter environments, so that images
are crisp, clear and easy to see no matter what the conditions are.

4. If the projector is to be operated continuously 24 hours a day, use the multi-lamp optical system's alternating lamp operation (lamp changer)
function. The projector can be operated continuously 24 hours a day in four-lamp operation mode, but it will automatically operate with three
lamps for 8 hours of the 24 hours.
5. The lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter if the projector is operated repeatedly for short periods.
• The length of time that it takes for the lamp to break or fail to illuminate varies greatly depending on individual lamp characteristics and usage
conditions.
• The brightness of the lamp will gradually decrease with use.
6. Because the ET-D75LE5 is a fixed short-throw lens, the lens shift function cannot be used with it.
7. Due to natural characteristics of lamps, screen brightness may vary (flicker). This is not an indication of faulty lamp performance.
