A Highly Bright Portable with 5,000 lm/4,300 lm*
1
The PT-VX500 and PT-VW430 rank high in the portable projector category
with their high brightness of 5,000 lm and 4,300 lm, respectively. Both
models also incorporate a variable iris that produces a high contrast of
4,000:1 and 3,500:1, respectively. This all combines to provide brighter,
sharper projection for versatile situations.
4,000 lm/3,000 lm*2of Brightness in a
Compact Body
A remarkable 4,000 lm/3,000 lm*2of brightness have been achieved in a
compact, easy-to-carry body, weighing only 3.6 kg (7.9 lb) or less.*3Bright,
clear images enhance a variety of viewing situations and applications.
The Daylight View Basic Function Ensures
Clear Images Even in Brightly Lit Rooms
Panasonic’s Daylight View Basic technology achieves sharp, easy-to-see
images by clearly reproducing the details in dark image areas, which were
previously difficult to see in brightly lit rooms. A built-in sensor measures the
ambient light, and the Daylight View Basic function adjusts the halftone color
and brightness level according to the surrounding illumination.

Long-Lasting Lamps and Air Filters
The PT-VW330/VX400NT/VX400/VX41 have a maximum lamp replacement
cycle of 5,000 hours.*4The air filters of the PT-VW330/VX400NT/VX400/VX41
also have a replacement cycle of 6,000 hours.*5This reduces maintenance
hassles for long periods of use, and helps to lower maintenance costs and
reduce environmental impact.
Quiet 29-dB*7Design Does Not Interrupt
Meetings or Classes
The quiet design keeps noise levels down to 29 dB,*7so the sound of the
cooling fan is hardly noticeable. This helps the audience to keep their
attention on the speech when someone is giving a presentation or on the
screen images during quiet scenes.

Intelligent Lamp Control System
Reduces Power Consumption
When the lamp power is set
to Auto, the intelligent lamp
control system automatically
adjusts the lamp output
in accordance with the
brightness of the projected
image and reduces it by up
to 70%. It also combines with
color shift correction, which
corrects the shift in the color
balance that occurs when
the lamp output drops. As a
result, power consumption
is effectively reduced while
excellent color reproduction is
maintained.
Environmentally Friendly
Standby Power Consumption
When the Standby mode is set to Eco, the standby power consumption is up to
0.48 W.*8This lowers running costs, and helps to reduce environment impact.
Displaying the Total Amount of Reduced
Power Consumption and CO2Emission
When the lamp power is set to Eco1, Eco2 or Auto, you can display the
total amount of reduced power consumption and decreased CO2emission
compared to when the lamp
power is set to Normal. It can
be shown by day, month or
year. Quantitatively checking
these reduction amounts helps
to increase the awareness
of energy saving and the
environment.

For more information about Panasonic projectors
Do not install the projector in locations that are subject to excessive water, humidity, steam or oily smoke. Doing so may result in fire, malfunction or electric shock.
Caution
1 The projector uses a high-voltage mercury lamp under high internal pressure. This lamp may break, emitting
a popping sound, or fail to illuminate, due to impact or extended use.
2 The high-wattage lamp becomes very hot during operation. Please observe the following precautions:
• Never place objects on top of the projector while it is in operation.
• Make sure there is an unobstructed space of 1,000 mm (39-3/8 in) or more around the projector’s exhaust
openings.
• If stacking projector units, care must be taken to provide the recommended space between units. These
space requirements also apply to installation where only one projector unit is operating at one time and the
other unit is used as a backup.
• If the projector is placed in a box or enclosure, the temperature of the air surrounding the projector
must match the operating temperature listed in the specifications table during use. Also, make sure the
projector’s intake and exhaust openings are not blocked. Ensure there is sufficient ventilation to prevent
hot air from the exhaust openings being recirculated into the intake opening.
3 The lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter if the projector is operated repeatedly for short
periods.
• The lamp replacement cycle varies greatly depending on individual lamp characteristics and usage
conditions.
• The brightness of the lamp will gradually decrease with use.
4 Due to natural characteristics of lamps, screen brightness may fluctuate. This is not an indication of faulty lamp
performance.
