Panasonic PT-AE4000U

Intelligent Lens Memory with Auto
Detection
Up to six settings can be stored in the Lens
Memory, including zoom and focus positions
for projecting in the normal 16:9 or 4:3 image
ratio, and wide cinema projection settings.
These memories can be recalled manually or
can be set for automatic switching. The pro-
jector is able to detect 2.35:1 and 16:9 source
and retrieve the stored setting automatically.
This Lens Memory function lets you easily
enjoy images with different image ratios on
a wide 2.35:1 screen for an immersive movie
theatre-like experience.
2x Optical Power Zoom/Focus and Wide
Lens Shift Range
A 2x optical power zoom/focus lens and a
lens shift function together make it possible
to project a 120-inch picture from as close
as 11´10. (3.6 m) to the screen or as far as
23´7. (7.2 m) away. In addition, the image
can be shifted ±100% vertically, and ±40%
horizontally. This gives you outstanding set-
up fl exibility. If
you choose to
ceiling-mount
the projector,
you can zoom
and focus by
remote con-
trol.
VIERA Link for Easy Operation
The PT-AE4000U supports VIERA
Link. If your home theatre system
contains VIERA Link-ready equip-
ment, projection can be started by using only
the remote control unit of the PT-AE4000U,
regardless of whether the source is a Blu-ray
Disc or a TV program stored on an HD re-
corder. This eliminates the need for hassling
with several remote controls.*

Programmable 12V Trigger for
Automated Theatre Setup
Two 12V triggers are provided. Since the input
and output can be set independently (menu
selectable), they can link fl exibly with pow-
ered screens, room light and powered cur-
tains. When combined with the Intelligent
Lens Memory, they let you create a truly
classy home theatre.
HDMI with x.v.Color™ Deep Color™
The PT-AE4000U has three HDMI input ter-
minals for digital transmission without image
degradation. The HDMI input terminals also
support Deep Color and the x.v.Color™ color
space of the HDMI 1.3 standard. Deep Color
provides 10-bit (over 1.07 billion) and 12-bit
(over 68.7 billion) color depths for smooth
gradation between colors, while x.v.Color™
compliance reproduces natural, lifelike im-
ages.*

Simple Maintenance
For easy maintenance, you can replace
the filter from the side and the lamp from
the top of the projector. The dust fi lter and
lamp are easily replaced even after the PT-
AE4000U is installed on the ceiling.

fully customized theatres. An ecology-conscious design
is another trait that lifts the PT-AE4000U to an even
higher level of quality.

Panasonic works from every angle to mini-
mise environmental impact in the product
design, production and delivery processes,
and in the performance of the product itself
over its life cycle.
Intelligent Power Management System
for Eco-Friendly Power Consumption
The PT-AE4000U realizes an extremely
low standby power consumption of 0.08 W*
6
,
lowest in its class.*
7
In addition, the
PT-AE4000U’s main power consumption is
reduced by as much as 10% when the
dynamic iris function is operating because it
intelligently determines the necessary power
output of the projector by analyzing over
3 billion different image patterns, to optimize
and eliminate excessive power consumption.
LSI chip integration further lowers the
PT-AE4000U’s main power consumption,
making it an eco-friendly projector.
Other Ecological Considerations
• An off-timer that reduces wasteful power
consumption. • RoHS compliance. • Lead-
free solder for mounting components to printed
circuit boards. • No vinyl chloride in interior
wiring. • No halogenated flame retardants in
the cabinet. • Lead-free glass for the lens.
Ecology-Conscious Engineering and Design
