A Stylish Lens-Centred Design
The PT-AE1000E features a symmetrical
design with a centred lens and a high-
grade finish that suggests quality. Also
available is an optional cable cover
(ET-PCE1000) that gives the projector a
square shape while neatly concealing the
connection cables.
2x Optical Power Zoom and Power Focus
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 3.6 metres to the screen or as
far as 7.2 metres away. This gives you
outstanding setup flexibility. If you choose
to ceiling-mount the projector, you can
zoom and focus by remote control.
Wide Lens Shift Range
The PT-AE1000E lens has a much wider
shift range than previous models.
Horizontally, it can shift the image in a
range equal to about 40% of the screen
width. Vertically it can shift the image up to
about 100% of the screen height. If you
ceiling-mount the projector, the expanded
vertical shift range lets you position the
unit closer to the ceiling. Compared to pole
mounting, a ceiling mount can give the
room a more attractive look. To shift the
lens, simply turn the dials which are
secured in place by worm gears. The dial
has minimal play and allows precise
adjustment, and once the lens is adjusted,
it stays that way.
Quiet Operation
We reduced fan noise all the way down to
22 dB (in Economy lamp mode) by
improving the efficiency of the cooling
system. The PT-AE1000E’s whisper-quiet
operation means there’s nothing to keep
you from enjoying all the beauty of the
large-screen HD images.
Learning Remote Control
The PT-AE1000E comes
with a universal “learning”
remote control unit that
you can use to control your
DVD player, AV amplifier,
motorised projector screen
or other components. A
backlit LCD panel makes
the remote easy to find
and use even when you’ve
turned the lights low for a
home theatre effect.
On-Screen Input Guidance
A graphic display on the screen shows
which terminal has been selected. An
indicator blinks to alert you if you’ve
selected a terminal that has no device
connected to it.
Variety of Input Ports
The PT-AE1000E has one component input
and one SCART input. In addition to video,
S-video and computer (RGB) terminals, the
projector is equipped with two HDMI ports
and an RS232C serial port.
Easy Maintenance
For easier maintenance, you can replace
the filter from the side and the lamp from
the top. The dust filter and lamp are easily
replaced even after the PT-AE1000E is
installed on the ceiling.
