About the SD memory card slot
Precautions on handling
Cautions when moving the projector
Be sure to attach the lens cover before moving the projector.
The projection lens is extremely susceptible to vibration and shocks. When
moving the projector, use the accessory carrying bag. When placing the
projector inside the carrying bag, position it so that the lens is facing upward.
Make sure that there are no foreign objects inside the slot when inserting an
optional SD memory card. Failure to observe it may damage the card and
the slot.
About the screen
If the screen you are using is dirty, damaged or discolored, attractive
projections cannot be obtained. Do not apply any volatile substances to the
screen, and do not let it become dirty or damaged.
About the lamp
Cautions regarding setting-up
The lamp may need to be replaced earlier due to variables such as a
particular lamp’s characteristics, usage conditions and the installation
environment, especially when it is subjected to a continuous use for more
than 10 hours.
Observe the following at all times when setting up the projector.
Avoid setting up in places which are subject to vibration or shocks.
If the projector is set up in locations with strong vibration, such as near a
motor, or if it is installed inside a vehicle or on board a ship, the projector
may be subjected to vibration or shocks which can damage the internal parts
and cause malfunctions or accidents. Accordingly, set up the projector in a
place which is free from such vibrations and shocks.
About the liquid crystal panel
The liquid crystal panel of the projector is built with very high precision
technology giving you fine picture details. Occasionally, a few non-active
pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red.
Please note that this does not affect the performance of your LCD.
Do not set up the projector near high-voltage power lines or near
motors.
The projector may be subject to electromagnetic interference if it is set up
near high-voltage power lines or motors.
Before carrying out cleaning and maintenance, be
sure to disconnect the power cord plug from the
wall outlet.
If installing the projector to the ceiling, ask a qualified technician to
carry out all installation work.
If the projector is to be suspended from the ceiling, you will need to purchase
the separate installation kit (Model No.: ET-PKE300). Furthermore, all
installation work should only be carried out by a qualified technician.
Wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry cloth.
If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in water with a small amount
of neutral detergent in it, squeeze the cloth very well, and then wipe the
cabinet. After cleaning, wipe the cabinet dry with a dry cloth.
If using this projector at high elevations (above 1400 m), set the FAN
CONTROL to HIGH. (Refer to page 40.)
Failure to observe this may result in malfunctions.
If using a chemically-treated cloth, read the instructions supplied with
the cloth before use.
Do not wipe the lens with a cloth that is dusty or which produces lint.
If any dust or lint gets onto the lens, such dust or lint will be magnified and
projected onto the screen. Use a blower to clean any dust and lint from the
lens surface, or use a soft cloth to wipe off any dust or lint.
Notes on use
In order to get the best picture quality
If outside light or light from indoor lamps is shining onto the screen, the
images projected will not have good contrast. Draw curtains or blinds over
any windows and turn off any fluorescent lights near the screen to prevent
reflection.
Do not touch the surfaces of the lens with your bare hands.
If the surface of the lens becomes dirty from fingerprints or anything else, this
will be magnified and projected onto the screen. Moreover, when not using
the projector, retract the lens and then cover it with the accessory lens cover.

angle of tilt by PT-AE300U. Vertical keystone distortion can be corrected
to 30° of the angle of tilt by PT-AE200U. However, the greater the
correction amount, the more the picture quality will deteriorate, and the
harder it will become to achieve a good level of focus. To obtain the best
picture quality, set up the projector and screen in such a way that the
amount of keystone correction required is as minimal as possible.

BIf using this projector in places such as cafes or hotels with the aim of
displaying programmes for viewing for a commercial purpose or for public
presentation, note that if the aspect ratio (16:9) selection function is used to
change the aspect ratio of the screen picture, you may be infringing the rights
of the original copyright owner for that program under copyright protection laws.
BIf a normal (4:3) picture which was not originally intended for wide-screen
viewing is projected onto a wide screen, distortion may occur around the edges
of the picture so that part of the picture is no longer visible. Such programmes
should be viewed in 4:3 mode to give proper consideration to the aims and
intentions of the original program’s creator.

The SD memory card is a semiconductor memory which at 24 mm x 32 mm
x 2.1 mm is about the size of a postage stamp. It is a next-generation
recording medium which can be used instead of conventional storage
devices such as MDs (mini discs), CDs (compact discs) and cassette tapes.
In addition, it allows data to be repeatedly recorded, played and erased. The
projector can be used to play computer image files, video images (still
pictures) and moving pictures using the SD memory card.

This sets the horizontal positioning

This setting changes the lamp
brightness. When set to “LOW”, the
luminance of the lamp is reduced,
but the projector uses less power,
and the operating noise is also
reduced.
The LOW position is recommended
for narrow rooms where a high

Projection dimensions calculation methods
DCF standard
The following methods will allow you to calculate dimensions such as screen
diagonal length and projection distances. Units in all calculations are metre.
This projector can only play back image files which comply with the DCF
specification. The DCF specification imposes the following conditions. Image
files or folders which do not conform to these conditions cannot be
recognised by the projector.
16:9
Limits on folder names
Folders must be created as sub-folders of the DCIM folder on the SD
memory card.
BData which is contained within any folder other than the DCIM folder
cannot be recognised.
LW/LT
SW
Folder names must consist of three numerals (folder number) followed
by five alphanumeric characters. (Example: 100abcde)
BThe three numerals must make up a number between 100 and 999, and
the alphanumeric characters can be taken from the following set of 37
characters: 0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_ (No distinction is
made between upper-case and lower-case alphabetic characters.
Doublebyte characters cannot be used.)
Screen Width: SW=SDx0.872
Screen Height: SH=SDx0.490
Minimum Projection Distance: LW=1.229xSD-0.0381
Maximum Projection Distance: LT=1.481xSD-0.0381
Image Lower Edge from Lens Center: H1=SW/32
Multiple folders using the same three-digit combination (folder number)
cannot be created.
BFor example, if two folders exist named "100abcde" and "100fghij"
Dimensions
<Units: mm (˝)>
respectively, the projector will not recognise them.
Folder sub-hierarchies are not supported.
BFor example, if a folder called "323fghij" is created as a sub-folder of the
"102abcde" folder, the projector will not be able to recognise the sub-
folder.
File names
File names must consist of four alphanumeric characters followed by
four numerals (file number), followed by ".jpg". (Example: abcd0001.jpg)
BThe four numerals must make up a number between 0001 and 9999, and
the alphanumeric characters can be taken from the following set of 37
characters: 0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz_ (No distinction is
made between upper-case and lower-case alphabetic characters.
Doublebyte characters cannot be used.)
Multiple file names using the same four-digit combination (file number)
cannot be created.
BFor example, if two files exist named "abcd0001.jpg" and "efgh0001.jpg"
respectively, the projector cannot recognise them normally.
65.4(2 9/16)
280(11)
File format
BOnly JPEG image files which comply with the Exif 2.2 standard are
recognised.
