A Stylish Lens-Centered Design
The PT-AE1000U features a symmetrical design
with a centered lens and a high-grade finish that
suggests quality. Also available is an optional
cable cover (ET-PCE1000) that gives the projec-
tor a square shape while neatly concealing the
connection cables.
2x Optical Power Zoom and
Power Focus
A 2x optical power zoom/focus lens and a lens
shift function together make it possible to pro-
ject a 120-inch picture from as close as 11´10˝
(3.6 m) to the screen or as far as 23´7˝ (7.2 m)
away. This gives you outstanding setup flexibility.
If you choose to ceiling-mount the projector, you
can zoom and focus by remote control.
Wide Lens Shift Range
The PT-AE1000U lens has a much wider shift
range than previous models. Horizontally, it can
shift the image in a range equal to about 40% of
the screen width. Vertically it can shift the image
up to about 100% of the screen height. If you
ceiling-mount the projector, the expanded verti-
cal shift range lets you position the unit closer
to the ceiling. Compared to pole mounting, a
ceiling mount can give the room a more attrac-
tive look. To shift the lens, simply turn the dials
which are secured in place by worm gears.
The dial has minimal play and allows precise
adjustment, and once the lens is adjusted, it
stays that way.
Quiet Operation
We reduced fan noise all the way down to 22 dB
(in Economy lamp mode) by improving the effi-
ciency of the cooling system. The PT-AE1000U’s
whisper-quiet operation means there’s nothing to
keep you from enjoying all the beauty of the
large-screen HD images.
Learning Remote Control
The PT-AE1000U comes with a
universal “learning” remote con-
trol unit that you can use to con-
trol your DVD player, AV amplifi-
er, motorized projector screen or
other components. A backlit LCD
panel makes the remote easy to
find and use even when you’ve
turned the lights low for a home
theater effect.
On-Screen Input Guidance
A graphic display on the screen shows which
terminals have been selected for sources. An
indicator blinks to alert you if you've selected a
terminal that has no device connected to it.
Variety of Input Ports
The PT-AE1000U has two component inputs. In
addition to video, S-video and computer (RGB)
terminals, the projector is equipped with two
HDMI ports and an RS232C serial port.
Easy Maintenance
For easier maintenance, you can replace the fil-
ter from the side and the lamp from the top.
The dust filter and lamp are easily replaced even
after the PT-AE1000U is installed on the ceiling.
