2x Zoom Lens and Horizontal/Vertical Lens Shift
The 2x zoom lens and horizontal/vertical lens shift let you
accommodate a wide range of room sizes and shapes.
When lights or ventilation holes are located in the ceiling
mounting site, you can simply relocate the projector to
avoid them. And when replacing existing projectors, this
can reduce costs by
permitting the use
of existing mounting
positions and
cablings.
Abundant Connection Terminals,
Including HDMI
Interfaces include HDMI and DVI-I inputs. The serial ter-
minal (RS-232C) has an Emulate function that lets you
continue using existing control systems when replacing
previous Panasonic models. It is also possible to output
audio during Standby mode. This is convenient when con-
necting an external audio system through the projector.*

Easy Remote Monitoring and Control
over a LAN
The PT-FW430 Series can be easily operated remotely
over a LAN, because it is done using the computer’s Web
browser. Furthermore, the projector sends an email mes-
sage to notify the operator when an error has occurred,
or a lamp needs to be replaced. Panasonic’s original
freeware, “Multi Projector Monitoring and Control Software
Ver. 2.5,” allows the user to
control and monitor multiple
projectors at the same time
over a LAN. This software
also adds a new function that
allows still images and text
messages to be simultane-
ously distributed to multiple projectors. And the PT-FW430
Series models are compatible with PJLink™ (class 1) to
enable integrated control of systems that contain different
brands of PJLink™-compatible projectors.
Easy Wireless Projection from
Multiple PCs
(Optional)
The optional Wireless Module ET-WM200U allows the
PT-FW430 Series to provide wireless projection of the
same images that are displayed on the PC screen. There
is no need to connect the PC with a VGA cable, so you
get smooth video presentations with any system layout
you want and it is also possible to transmit audio. Set-
tings for wireless connection can be made quickly and
easily using Wireless Manager ME 5.5 software and you
can also simultaneously project the images from multiple
PCs up to 16 PCs using the “Multi-
Live mode.” The wireless LAN security
is also newly-compatible with the EAP
(Extensible Authentication Protocol)
(except for EAP-LEAP).
NOTE: Network functions such as Live mode and
Multi-Live mode can also be used with a wired LAN.

This value is calculated by continuously turning the lamp on for 2 hours and off for
0.25 hours. The lamp replacement cycle will decrease if the lamp is turned on /off
more frequently, or if it is left on for longer intervals.

When washing with water, please follow the procedures listed in the operating
instructions. Also, we recommend replacing the filter with a new one after it has been
washed and reused twice. If the filter is not sufficiently clean after washing, replace
it with a new one.
