Panasonic’s PT-L520U SVGA projector is a
great choice for presentations in a wide
range of environments. Small, sleek, and
ultra-portable, the PT-L520U gives you high
brightness, the top performance in its class,
and a host of advanced features. Best of
all, it’s remarkably easy to use.
If you want a projector that stands out for
both brightness and performance, check
out the PT-L520U. And see just how easy a
presentation can be.
Bright 2000 ANSI Lumens, High
300:1 Contrast Ratio
The PT-L520U delivers super-bright perfor-
mance with 2000 ANSI lumens thanks to a
newly-designed, high-performance optical
system and high-efficiency 220-W UHM™
lamp. The high contrast ratio of 300:1
ensures that images are sharp, crisp, and
easy to see. Both models also provide
excellent brightness uniformity of 90%.
Excellent Color Rendition
The use of advanced 10-bit digital gamma
correction circuitry with the latest algo-
rithm gives the PT-L520U naturally vivid,
uniform colors and smooth image grada-
tion. Plus, full compatibility with the sRGB
standard for color space adds more accu-
rate color reproduction to your presenta-
tions. The PT-L520U also delivers outstand-
ing moving pictures thanks to a Digital
Cinema Reality (DCR) circuit and
3-dimensional comb filter*.
* For NTSC signals only
One-Touch Auto Setup
The One-Touch Auto Setup function with
digital keystone correction saves adjust-
ment hassles. Panasonic’s original, built-in
gravity sensor determines the projector’s
angle relative to the floor and corrects for
keystone distortion accordingly. This makes
set-up super-easy: ust aim the projector at
the screen and press the Auto Setup but-
ton. The projector handles all picture
adjustments, from phasing and dot clocks
to vertical and horizontal position.
Extra Short-Throw Lens
The PT-L520U is equipped with a large-
diameter, extra short-throw lens that short-
ens the necessary projection distance. The
shorter projection distance of the PT-L520U
saves space. For instance, 2.4 m (8 feet) or
less is needed to project an 80-inch diago-
nal screen, allowing the projector to be
placed at the front of the table. This conve-
nient feature enables comfortable presenta-
tions with large, easy-to-see images even
in small rooms.
Accepts Up to Two RGB Inputs
and One RGB Output
Two RGB inputs
eliminate the
need to re-con-
nect equipment
when giving two
different presen-
tations back to
back. The RGB2
terminal can also serve as a loop-through
monitoring terminal for the RGB1 input. For
instance, an instructor in a classroom can
use this to give a presentation on a large
screen while following the same images on
a PC, eliminating the need to keep looking
at the screen behind. Plus, images can still
be monitored on the computer display while
the projector is switched to standby mode
