*1 When the standby mode is set to eco, network functions such as power on over the LAN network will not operate, and the serial output termi-
nal cannot be used. Also, only certain commands can be received for external control using the serial terminal.
*2 Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with ISO 21118 international standards.
*3 WUXGA resolution is supported only when the signals are compliant with VESA CVT-RB (Coordinated Video Timing-Reduced Blanking).
*4 With legs at shortest position.

• The value for L (distance to screen) varies slightly within ±5% depending on the zoom lens characteristics.
• At the shortest projection distance, the zoom lens characteristics may cause slight image distortion.
• When vertical keystone correction is used, the image is corrected in the direction that reduces its projected size.
NOTE: When the ET-D75LE5 is mounted, the optical lens shift function cannot be used.

CAUTION
• It may not be possible to send or receive commands for about 10 to 60 seconds when the lamp is first turned on. If this
occurs, wait for 60 seconds, then try sending or receiving again.
• When sending multiple commands, be sure to wait for at least 0.5 second after receiving a response from the projector before
sending the next command.
• Additional time is sometimes required for response due to processing inside the projector. Set the time-out period for com-
mand response to 10 seconds or more.
• When using two or more units:
1) Set different IDs for each unit.
2) Designate only one unit as RESPONSE (ID ALL) ON and the rest as RESPONSE (ID ALL) OFF.
3) Each group should have only one RESPONSE (ID GROUP) ON and the rest should be RESPONSE (ID GROUP) OFF.

3-Chip DLP ™ Projector PT-DZ8700U

Notes on projector placement and operation

The projector uses a high-wattage lamp that becomes very hot during operation. Please observe the
following precautions.

1. Never place objects on top of the projector while it is operating.

2. Make sure there is an unobstructed space of 500 mm (19-11/16˝) or more around the projector’s
exhaust openings.
3. Do not stack projector units directly on top of one another. If two units must be stacked for back-
up use in ordinary projection, use a method as shown below and provide ample space between the
units to ensure that exhaust heat does not accumulate near the intake opening or around the units.
Dual stacked projection is not recommended.
4. Make sure that nothing blocks the projector’s air intake and exhaust openings. Also, install the pro-
jector so that cool or hot air from other air conditioning equipment does not flow directly toward the
projector’s air intake or exhaust openings.
5. Do not install the projector in an enclosed space. If it is necessary to install it in an enclosed
space, add a separate ventilation system. If ventilation is insufficient, hot air will accumulate at the
intake opening. This may cause the projector’s protective circuit to interrupt projector operation, or
may shorten the replacement cycle for the Auto Cleaning Filter (ACF) Unit.
6. If the projector is installed in an enclosed space, ensure that the temperature of the air surrounding
the projector is between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F). Also make sure that the projector’s intake and
exhaust openings are not blocked. Even though the air surrounding the projector is 40°C (104°F) or
less, if hot exhaust air accumulates inside the space, it may cause the projector’s protective circuit
to interrupt projector operation, or may shorten the replacement cycle for the ACF Unit. Pay particu-
lar attention to the surrounding temperature conditions when planning the installation.
7. If the projector is not to be set on the floor using adjuster legs, install it by using the five ceiling-
mount screw holes (screw diameter: M6, length of each screw hole in the projector: 8 mm (5/16˝)).
Provide a space of 5 to 10 mm (3/16˝ to 13/32˝) between the projector and the mounting surface by
inserting metal spacers.
500 mm (19-11/16 ˝ ) 500 mm (19-11/16 ˝ )

Operating the projector continuously

1. If the projector is to be operated continuously 24 hours a day, use the dual-lamp optical system’s alter-
nating lamp operation (lamp relay) function. The projector cannot be operated continuously 24 hours a
day in dual-lamp mode. Allow a minimum of two hours per day of non-operation time for each lamp if
the projector is to be operated continuously for more than 22 hours.
2. The lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter if the projector is operated repeatedly for short
periods.

Replacing the filter unit

The projector is equipped with the Auto Cleaning Filter (ACF) function, which automatically winds the
air filter to set a new filter element in place according to operating conditions. The filter unit replace-
ment cycle is approximately 10,000 hours*. Please purchase the ET-ACF310 filter unit for replacement
use.

* The replacement cycle given here is a guideline. It may differ depending on the usage environment.

Weights and dimensions shown are approximate. Specifications and appearance are subject to change without notice.
