Lens Memory Enhances Projection
Versatility
The zoom and focus settings for project-
ing in the normal 16:9 or 4:3 image ratio,
and for wide cinema projection, can be
stored in the Lens Memory for simple
access through the remote control. This
Lens Memory function lets you easily enjoy
images with different image ratios on a
wide 2.35:1 screen for an immersive movie
theater-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 pos-
sible 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% vertical-
ly, and ±40% horizontally. This gives you
outstanding setup flexibility. If you choose
to ceiling-mount the projector, you can
zoom and focus by remote control.
Versatile Input Interfaces
The PT-AE3000U has three HDMI input
terminals for digital transmission without
image degradation, and two component
input terminals. 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 bil-
lion) and 12-bit (over 68.7 billion) color
depths for smooth gradation between col-
ors, while x.v.Color
™ compliance repro-
duces natural, lifelike images.* 5
Easy Maintenance
For easy maintenance, you can replace the
filter from the side and the lamp from the
top of the projector. The dust filter and
lamp are easily replaced even after the
PT-AE3000U is installed on the ceiling.

over its life cycle.
Intelligent Power Management System
for Eco-Friendly Power Consumption
The PT-AE3000U realizes an extremely low
standby power consumption of 0.08 W
* 6 ,
lowest in its class. * 7 In addition, the
PT-AE3000U'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-AE3000U’s main power consumption,
making it an eco-friendly projector.
Reduced Environmental Impact
The inner volume of the PT-AE3000U carton
box has been reduced by approximately 10%.
While lessening the amount of packaging
materials used, this also raises transporta-
tion efficiency, which saves fuel and lowers
the impact on the environment.
Ecology-Conscious Engineering and Design
Other Ecological Considerations
• An off-timer that reduces wasteful power con-
sumption. • RoHS compliance. • Lead-free sol-
der for mounting components to printed circuit
boards. • No vinyl chloride in interior wiring.
• No halogenated flame retardants in the cabinet.
• No styrofoam in packing materials. • Lead-free
glass for the lens.
