LCD Projectors

With their outstanding flexibility,
PT-F200 series projectors make
ideal replacements for existing
ceiling-mounted systems. They
require little maintenance after
installation, so total cost of
ownership is low.
A Bright Choice for
New Installations and
Replacement Use
Auto Rolling Filter (ARF) and Anti-Dust Design
A Micro Cut Filter, a high-efficiency electrostatic
filter, with superior dust-collecting performance
combines with Panasonic’s original Auto Rolling
Filter and anti-dust design to minimize brightness loss due to
dust accumulation. The projector automatically detects when dust
accumulates on the high-efficiency electrostatic filter and impairs
performance. The affected section of the filter is wound into the
casing, so the filter maintains its dust-catching capability. In
developing the anti-dust design, Panasonic totally re-engineered
the airflow path, from intake to exhaust, to create a cabinet that
hermetically seals off the projector interior. This design and the
Auto Rolling Filter team up to keep the air inside the projector
dust-free at all times.
ARF unit
ARF unit
Micro Cut Filter
A high-efficiency electrostatic filter in the air intake sec-
tion traps dust particles that are 1 microns or larger. By
capturing approximately 7 times as much dust as our pre-
vious filters, it guards against optical blocks and reduces
the penetration of dust into the interior to provide stable
operation by preventing drops in brightness.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES THAT MAINTAIN HIGH
BRIGHTNESS OVER A LONGER SERVICE LIFE

The projector can also be set on
a shelf at the back of the room,
greatly simplifying installation.
Thanks to the wireless LAN
function, you can set up a sys-
tem using multiple PCs quickly
and easily.
The PT-F200NTU and PT-F200U are high-
performance LCD projectors designed for
use in fixed installations. Each model
combines Panasonic’s original Auto Rolling
Filter with an original lamp drive system
to deliver crisp, bright images over
extended periods of time and enable a
5,000-hour*1lamp replacement cycle.
Each also offers outstanding installation
flexibility, with 2x zoom lens, lens shift
and wireless/wired LAN*2functions that
accommodate everything from permanent
ceiling-mounted use to simple placement
on a shelf. Whether you're looking to
install a new system or considering a
replacement, Panasonic answers the call
for projectors that provide long-lasting
brightness, simple maintenance, and easy,
casual use even in fixed installations.

Original Lamp Drive System for Optimal Lamp Performance
Lamps used in a projector require much higher precision than
ordinary household lamps. Panasonic employs a number of new
technologies—including an original lamp drive system—that help
maintain optimal lamp performance for longer-lasting brightness.
This has resulted in a 5,000-hour* lamp replacement cycle.
*The value given above does not imply a guaranteed amount of time.
The value may vary considerably depending on usage conditions.
Daylight View 4 Technology: Remarkable Detail with
Enhanced Perception of Brightness and Contrast *
The PT-F200 series feature Panasonic’s
Daylight View 4 technology. Sharp edges are
achieved with the new “Edge
Enhancer Control” and “Gamma
Curve Control.” Remarkable detail is
provided and perceived brightness
and contrast are enhanced, so
images appear crisp, vivid, 3-dimen-
sional and easy to see even in
brightly lit rooms. Daylight View 4
also includes a built-in ambient light
sensor that automatically detects room brightness and adjusts
operation accordingly.
Wide 2x Zoom and Horizontal/Vertical Lens Shift Give You
More Installation Flexibility
Each can project a 120-inch image (diagonal) from any distance
between 11.8 feet (3.6 m) and 23.6 feet (7.2 m). In new installa-
tions, this lets you accommodate a wide range of room sizes and
shapes. And when replacing existing projectors, the new 2x zoom
greatly expands your installation flexibility.
Wired LAN: Web Browser Control/Monitoring, E-Mail
Message Alert (PT-F200NTU)
Anybody can operate the PT-F200NTU by remote control or moni-
tor its status over a LAN network, because it is all done using the
computer’s familiar web browser. Furthermore, the projector sends
an e-mail message to notify the operator when an error has
occurred, or a lamp needs to be replaced.
PJLink™compatibility (PT-F200NTU)
The LAN terminals support PJLink™
class 1 connection. Control with the
same specifications is also possible
when used in a multi-projector sys-
tem with projectors of another brand.
Direct Power Off
Because the cooling fan keeps operating until the lamp is cooled,
you can turn off the room’s main power without waiting for the
projector to cool down.
Easy Lamp Replacement from the Rear
For easier maintenance, you can replace the
lamp from the rear. The lamp is easily
replaced even after the projector is installed
on the ceiling.

CONVENIENT FEATURES FOR FIXED INSTALLATION

Abundant connection terminals
Designed for versatility, each projector comes equipped with a
host of connection terminals. The RS-232C specifications are the
same as in previous Panasonic models, so replacement is quick
and easy.
Easy-to-Use Remote Control with Laser Pointer
The supplied remote control features
a number of wireless projection con-
trols, including Microsoft®PowerPoint®
page up/down capability.* The control
range and distance have been extend-
ed, and the buttons are now larger
and easier to use.
Easy Wireless Projection from Multiple PCs
With the PT-F200NTU’s wireless capability, you don’t need cables
to connect a PC. That means it’s easy to bring in a laptop (with a
wireless LAN function) and deliver a smooth, hassle-free presenta-
tion. You can make the settings for wireless connection quickly
and easily using Wireless Manager ME 4.5 software. When the
presentation is finished, Wireless Manager restores the PC to its
previous LAN settings, so the PC
is ready to reconnect to your
LAN. Functions include Live
mode and Multi-Live mode. In
Live mode, the image projected
is identical to the image seen
on the PC screen. In Multi-Live
mode, you can wirelessly con-
nect with multiple PCs.
Other Valuable Features
• Built-in closed caption decoder: Displays subtitles onto the pro-
jected screen without the need for any additional device.
• Anti-theft features: Security anchor, user
password, control panel lock and text
superimposing

screen. This makes it
easy to operate the pro-
jector right from the PC,
without having to use
the remote control.
The front panel covers the lens to keep it clean from dust, and conceals the controls to
prevent accidental misoperation. It can be opened for easy access to controls even after
the projector is installed on the ceiling.

Specifications
NOTES ON USE
• 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. 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.
• The projector includes consumable parts. The frequency of replacement for the lamp and
other consumable parts will increase if the projector is subjected to extended, continuous
use. For details, please consult a service representative.
