Cinema 1 Mode Offers Hollywood Picture Quality
Panasonic worked with experts in Hollywoodthe movie capital of the worldto create the ideal image reproduction for viewing movies. This allows the PT-AX200 to deliver true Hollywood picture quality, with images that faithfully express the directors artistic intent.

Pure Color Filter

The Pure Color Filter was born from Panasonics pursuit of optical technology that delivers true Hollywood picture quality. The light spectrum is adjusted to produce a level of light that maximizes the performance of the LCD panels, which expands the color range and produces truer blacks.

Smooth Screen Technology

Developed exclusively by Panasonic, this effectively reduces the black lines between pixels that mar picture quality. The highdefinition picture of the PT-AX200 is remarkably smooth and film-like, while remaining amazingly sharp and detailed.

Dynamic Iris

Dynamic Iris has been refined to provide deeper, richer blacks needed for true image reproduction with stunning smoothness. This technology adjusts the lamp power, iris, and gamma curve according to data obtained from frame-by-frame histogram analysis of the image brightness level.
High-precision iris mechanism
Advanced Dynamic Sharpness Control
The new Advanced Dynamic Sharpness Control determines image areas that need to be sharpened at varying degrees by examining small changes in brightness levels within the image. This greatly reduces noise amplification and delivers clear and natural looking images.
A 1,000-lumen class projector
*1: For LCD projectors with native resolution of 720p, as of August 1, 2007. *2: The Light Harmonizer 2 is set to Auto at the factory. There is also a Manual mode if you want to finetune the picture yourself.

The 2x optical zoom lens provides a wide throw range that gives you outstanding setup flexibility, letting you enjoy large-screen viewing in different sized rooms. Position it on a table in front of you, suspend it from the ceiling, or place it on a bookshelf behind you.
Simple, Convenient Remote Control
The remote control is intuitively laid out for ease of use. The picture mode select buttons are divided into Theater Room and Living Room to separate the modes into those recommended for dark room viewing and bright room viewing respectively.

Ecology-Conscious Design

Panasonic strives to minimize environmental impact caused by its products through careful consideration of design, production, delivery, process and product life cycle. The PT-AX200 reflects the following ecological considerations. Lead-free solder is used to mount components on the printed circuit boards. No halogenated flame retardants are used in the cabinet. No polystyrene foam is used in the packing materials. Lead-free glass is used for the lens. The packing case and operating manual are made from recycled paper. Lamp power switching further reduces power consumption. Standby power consumption is a mere 0.08 watts in the standby mode.
*1: The projector uses a type of liquid crystal panel that typically consists of millions of pixels. This panel is built with very high-precision technology designed to provide one of the finest possible images. Occasionally, a few pixels may remain turned on (bright) or turned off (dark). Please note that this is an intrinsic characteristic of the manufacturing technology that affects all products using LCD technology. *2: The projector uses a high-voltage mercury lamp that contains high internal pressure. This lamp may break, emitting a large sound, or fail to illuminate, due to impact or extended use. The length of time that it takes for the lamp to break or fail to illuminate varies greatly depending on individual lamp characteristics and usage conditions. *3: Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with ISO 21118 international standards. *4: In AI mode, with dynamic iris on *5: Shift range is limited during simultaneous horizontal and vertical shifting. *6: Excluding protrusions
