Product Outline
This is a high-luminance DLPTM based projector which is powered by a single-phase, 3-wire type 200 V – 240 V
power supply. It utilizes three RGB DMDTM chips and a high-output xenon lamp. By fitting a projection lens and
input module (sold separately) in accordance with the setting-up location and the type of input signal, it can project
images onto screens from 100 inches (2.5 m) to 600 inches (15 m) in size.
By installing an input module (sold separately), the unit can handle various types of RGB signals, chrominance
signals for high-vision TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signalling)-type digital interface, and also NTSC,
NTSC4.43, PAL, SECAM, PAL-M, PAL60, PAL-N video signals, Y/C signals and serial digital (SDI) signals.etc.
Besides this, the projector is equipped with an RS-232C / RS-422 connector so that it can be controlled by means
of a personal computer or signal selector.
Other functions available include selection of the projection method (ceiling/floor/rear), an ID number assignment
function which is useful for controlling multiple projectors simultaneously, keystone(trapezoidal distortion)correction
and a lens focus/position adjustment (optical axis shift) function. All settings and adjustments during the setting-up
process can be carried out easily by using on-screen menus.
In addition, a self-diagnosis display function is also provided. This function generates and displays a two-digit error
code to notify you if a problem occurs with operation of the projector.
DMDTM chip’s aspect ratio is 4:3 on the PT-D9510U or 5:4 on the PT-D9610U.
Features
Contrast of 1000:1 realized
A contrast of 1 000 : 1 (Contrast mode; When super), which match that of e-cinema is realized using a new 1 600
W xenon lamp and luminous control technology.
Network functions are standard equipment
The unit can be controlled from a PC using a LAN interface. This equipment has a function for automatically sending
e-mail when the equipment is abnormal, so a system for remote control or central control can be easily realized.
High-density, high-quality computer images can also be projected
The projector utilizes a DLPTM (Digital Light Processing) system which incorporates an 0.9-inch(for the PT-D9510U)/1.1-
inch (for the PT-D9610U) DMDTM (Digital Micromirror Device) having a display resolution of 1 024 x 768 dots(for the
PT-D9510U)/1 280 x 1 024 dots(for the PT-D9610U) that produces a three-layer image from R, G and B layers.
This system produces images with high resolution and color reproduction which is faithful to the source. Because it can
handle dot clock frequencies ranging from 20 MHz to 162 MHz, computer images with signal resolutions of up to 1 600
x 1 200 dots can also be input. However, if the display resolution is greater than 1024 x 768 dots(for the
PT-D9510U)/1 280 x 1 024 dots (for the PT-D9610U), A-PIC (Advanced Panasonic Intelligent Compression)
automatically converts the image to a resolution of 1024 x 768 dots(for the PT-D9510U)/1 280 x 1 024 dots(for the PT-
D9610U)without causing any lines or characters to disappear, and without causing any flickering.
※DMDTM is an optical switch, a new device having a high utilization-factor of light and a high reaction rate, incorp-
rating approximately from 780 000 to 1 310 000 micromirrors which rotate according to a digital signal in the solid-
state memories.

Features
A new processing circuit for moving images provides excellent moving image quality
The adoption of processing circuit exclusively for moving images converts the signals to images which are
comfortable to view with no flickering or loss of quality from the image source.
Projects a wide range of image sizes from 100 inches (2.5 m) to 600 inches (15 m)
By attaching different projection lenses (sold separately) that match the requirements of the setting-up location,
images of any size between 100 inches (2.5 m) and 600 inches (15 m) with an aspect ratio of 4:3(PT-D9510U),
5:4(PT-D9610U) can be projected, depending on the projection distance. When using the fixed focus lens, the
available picture size is 100 to 180(PT-D9510U), 100 to 200(PT-D9610U) inches diagonal.
The flexibility in installation format (ceiling/floor/rear), keystone compensation, and optical axis shifting capability
combine to allow for installation in limited spaces.
A variety of different input sources can be used
By installing input modules (sold separately), the unit can handle various video sources, including: analog RGB
signals, component signals for high-vision etc., PC digital signals (TMDS), video signals (NTSC, PAL, SECAM,
NTSC4.43, PAL-M, PAL-60, PAL-N), Y/C signals, and serial digital (SDI) signals. Up to three input modules can be
installed, and there are no limitations on module combinations.
Compatible with high-resolution systems used for multi-screen projection.
This projector is equipped with a system (Edge Blending adjustment and Color Matching adjustment) to blend
edges of images projected from several projectors to create a large high-resolution screen. A high-resolution
system structure can be created without purchasing separately sold units and is thereby cost-saving.
Other useful functions also included
In addition to an on-screen setting display function, the projector is also provided with a built-in memory which can
store up to 64 signal sources plus several test patterns for checking adjustment levels.
In addition, a self-diagnosis display function is also provided. This function generates and displays a two-digit error
code to notify you if a problem occurs with operation of the projector.
Projection lenses which are sold separately are required for the operation of this projector. Please select the
lenses which are best suited to the setting-up location for the projector.

• In order to maintain full safety and precision during installation, such work should only be carried out by a
qualified technician.
At least three people are needed to set up the projector.
• This projector is manufactured with high precision and is very heavy. If only one person attempts to install or
move the projector by himself, the projector may be damaged or injury may result. Always make sure that at least
three people are available to transport and install the projector.
Check the strength of the installation location.
• This projector weighs 100 o(220 lb). When coupled with the ceiling mount bracket (sold separately), the total
weight becomes 129 o(283.8 lb). If the installation location is not strong enough to bear the weight, carry out any
reinforcement measures that may be necessary to ensure that the installation location will be free of any
problems regarding strength and safety.
Avoid installing the projector in any of the following places:
• Places which are subject to vibration or shocks • • • • • Vibration and shocks may cause malfunctions or accidents.
• Next to sprinklers or sensors • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Heat produced by the projector may cause sensors to
• Near high-voltage power lines or motors • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Such power sources may cause interference.
• Places with adverse ambient conditions • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Avoid places which are extremely dusty, where oil fumes or
operate incorrectly or sprinkler systems to be activated, which
could cause problems.
vapor are present, and where the ambient temperature is
outside the range of 0 °C – 40 °C(32 °F – 104 °F) or the
ambient humidity is outside the range of 10 % – 80 %. If the
projector is installed in such places, operating problems, fire
or electric shocks may result.

• Do not allow light from any sources other than the projector fall on the screen. If the screen is illuminated by such
external light, the projected image will lose its high contrast and will not be so easy to see.
Allow enough space around the projector for maintenance to be carried out.
• Leave at least 80 cm / 2.6 feet of free space on all sides of the projector to allow enough room for adjustments
and maintenance to be carried out.
Always connect to a secure earth.
• Connect an earth wire to the earthing screw marked with next to the
MAIN POWER switch. Then connect this earth wire to a secure earthing
terminal somewhere inside the room.
If the projector is used without the earth wire connected, electric shocks may
result.

When using the projector
Do not look into the lens while the projector is being used.
• Strong light is emitted from the projector‘s lens. If you look directly into this light, it can hurt and damage your
eyes.
Do not place the projector on top of surfaces which are sloped or unstable.
• The projector may fall down or tip over.
Do not place any objects on top of the projector.
• If water spills onto the projector or foreign objects get inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could result in fire
or electric shocks. If any foreign objects get inside the projector, please consult an Authorized Service Center.
Do not stick any foreign objects into the projector.
• Do not insert any metal objects or flammable objects into the ventilation holes or drop them onto the projector, as
doing so can cause fire or electric shocks to occur.
Do not cover the air outlet.
• Doing so may cause the projector to overheat, which can cause fire or damage to the projector.
Do not remove the cover or modify it in any way.
• High voltages which can cause severe electric shocks are present inside the projector. For any inspection,
adjustment and repair work, please contact an Authorized Service Center.
Do not spill water on the projector.
• This can cause fire or electric shocks to occur.
Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go.
• If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which could cause fire. If the plug is damaged or the wall
socket plate is loose, they should not be used.
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
• Doing so may cause electric shocks to occur.
Do not do anything that might damage the power cable.
• Do not damaged the cable, make any modifications to it, place heavy objects on top of it, heat it, place it near any
hot objects, twist it, bend it excessively or pull it. To do so may cause fires and electric shocks to occur. If the
power cable becomes damaged, have it repaired at an Authorized Service Center.
Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it from becoming covered in dust.
• If dust builds up on the power cord plug, the resultant humidity can damage the insulation, which could result in
fire. Pull the power cord out from the wall outlet and wipe it with a dry cloth.
• If not using the projector for an extended period of time, pull the power cord plug out from the wall outlet.
If a problem occurs during use
If a problem occurs (such as no picture), or if smoke or an abnormal odor starts to come out from the
projector, immediately pull the power cord plug out from the wall outlet.
• If you continue to use the projector in this condition, fire or electric shocks could result. After checking that the
smoke has stopped coming out, contact an Authorized Service Center so that the necessary repairs can be
mode. Repairing the projector yourself is extremely dangerous, and it should never be done.
If water or foreign objects get inside the projector, if the projector dropped, or if the cabinet becomes
damaged, disconnect the power cord plug immediately.
• A short circuit may occur, which could cause fire. Contact an Authorized Service Center for any repairs that need
to be made.
Caution!
• Do not reach for the openings beside the optical lens, during horizontal or vertical movements of the lens
there is a injury hazard.

Precautions on handling
CAUTION
Setting-up
The following points should always be observed when setting up this projector.
A dedicated power supply must be used.
• Ask the place of purchase to carry out any electrical work which may be required to provide a 14 A, 200 V - 240 V
AC (single phase) power supply for the projector alone to use.
Avoid setting up in places which are subject to vibration or shocks.
• If the projector is set up in a location with strong vibration, such as near a motor, or if it is installed inside a
vehicle or on board a ship, the projector may be subjected to vibration or shocks which can damage the internal
parts and cause malfunctions or accidents. Accordingly, set up the projector in a place which is free from such
vibrations and shocks.
Do not place the projector near high-voltage power lines or motors.
• If the projector is set up near high-voltage power lines or motors, it may be subjected to electrical interference.
The projection distance will vary depending on the projection lens (sold separately)
which is used.
• Select a projection lens which is suitable for the amount of space available at the setting-up location.
If installing the projector to the ceiling, be sure to have a qualified technician carry out
the work.
• If suspending the projector from the ceiling, you will need to obtain the ceiling mount bracket which is sold
separately. Also be sure to have the work performed by a qualified technician.
Do not move the projector after it has been installed and adjusted.
• After installation and adjustment of the projector have been completed, do not change the distance from the
projector to the screen, and do not move the position of the projector, otherwise the colors may become
unbalanced and readjustment may be necessary. Be particularly careful of this when the projector is installed
using the floor method.
Allow enough space around the projector for maintenance to be carried out.
• Leave at least 80 cm(2.6 feet) of free space on all sides of the projector to allow enough room for adjustments
and maintenance to be carried out.
