Panasonic PT-AX Home Theater System User Manual


 
2x Optical Zoom Lens
The 2x optical zoom lens provides a wide
throw range that gives you outstanding setup
flexibility, letting you enjoy large-screen view-
ing in different sized rooms. Position it on a
table in front of you, suspend it from the ceil-
ing, or place it on a bookshelf behind you.
Vertical and Horizontal Lens Shift
Adjust the positioning of the picture vertically
and horizontally by simply operating a joy-
stick. The shift range is 63% of the screen
height for vertical adjustment, and 25% of the
screen width for horizontal adjustment.
Two HDMI Inputs
Two HDMI inputs let you connect two devices,
such as a BD player and game console, at
the same time, using HDMI
cables. This eliminates the
need for an HDMI switcher.
Simple, Convenient Remote Control
The remote control is intu-
itively laid out for ease of
use. The picture mode
select buttons are divided
into “Theater Room” and
“Living Room” to separate
the modes into those rec-
ommended for dark room
viewing and bright room
viewing respectively.
Other Features
• Seven picture modes include game, vivid
cinema, normal, dynamic, cinema 1, and cin-
ema 2. • User equalizing function lets you

*1: The projector uses a type of liquid crystal panel that typically consists of
millions of pixels. This panel is built with very high-precision technology
designed to provide one of the finest possible images. Occasionally, a few
pixels may remain turned on (bright) or turned off (dark). Please note that
this is an intrinsic characteristic of the manufacturing technology that
affects all products using LCD technology.
*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 illumi-
nate, due to impact or extended use. The length of time that it takes for
the lamp to break or fail to illuminate varies greatly depending on individ-
ual lamp characteristics and usage conditions.
*3: Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply
with ISO 21118 international standards.
*4: In AI mode, with dynamic iris on
*5: Shift range is limited during simultaneous horizontal and vertical shifting.

Ecology-Conscious Design
Panasonic strives to minimize environmental
impact caused by its products through careful
consideration of design, production, delivery,
process and product life cycle. The PT-AX200
reflects the following ecological considerations.
Lead-free solder is used to mount components
on the printed circuit boards.
No halogenated flame retardants are used in
the cabinet.
No polystyrene foam is used in the packing
materials.
Lead-free glass is used for the lens.
The packing case and operating manual are
made from recycled paper.
Lamp power switching further reduces power
consumption.
Standby power consumption is a mere 0.08
watts in the standby mode.
Please contact Panasonic or your dealer for a demonstration.
