Intelligent Lens Memory with Auto
Detection
Up to six settings can be stored in the Lens
Memory, including zoom and focus positions
for projecting in the normal 16:9 or 4:3 image
ratio, and wide cinema projection settings.
These memories can be recalled manually or
can be set for automatic switching. The pro-
jector is able to detect 2.35:1 and 16:9 source
and retrieve the stored setting automatically.
This Lens Memory function lets you easily
enjoy images with different image ratios on
a wide 2.35:1 screen for an immersive movie
theatre-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 possible
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% vertically, and ±40%
horizontally. This gives you outstanding set-
up ﬂ exibility. If
you choose to
ceiling-mount
the projector,
you can zoom
and focus by
remote con-
trol.

VIERA Link for Easy Operation
The PT-AE4000E supports VIERA
Link. If your home theatre system
contains VIERA Link-ready equip-
ment, projection can be started by using only
the remote control unit of the PT-AE4000E,
regardless of whether the source is a Blu-ray
Disc or a TV program stored on an HD re-
corder. This eliminates the need for hassling
with several remote controls.*

Programmable 12V Trigger for
Automated Theatre Setup
Two 12V triggers are provided. Since the
input and output can be set independently
(menu selectable), they can link ﬂ exibly with
powered screens, room light and powered

curtains. When combined with the Intelli-
gent Lens Memory, they let you create a truly
classy home theatre.

HDMI with x.v.Colour™ Deep Colour™
The PT-AE4000E has three HDMI input ter-
minals for digital transmission without image
degradation. The HDMI input terminals also
support Deep Colour and the x.v.Colour™
colour space of the HDMI 1.3 standard. Deep
Colour provides 10-bit (over 1.07 billion) and
12-bit (over 68.7 billion) colour depths for
smooth gradation between colours, while
x.v.Colour™ compliance reproduces natural,
lifelike images.*

Simple Maintenance
For easy maintenance, you can replace the
ﬁ lter from the side and the lamp from the top
of the projector. The dust ﬁ lter and lamp are
easily replaced even after the PT-AE4000E is
installed on the ceiling.

PT-AE4000E’s rich features accommodate simple to

fully customized theatres. An ecology-conscious design

is another trait that lifts the PT-AE4000E to an even

higher level of quality.

over its life cycle.

Intelligent Power Management System
for Eco-Friendly Power Consumption

The PT-AE4000E realises an extremely
low standby power consumption of 0.08 W*

lowest in its class.*

In addition, the

PT-AE4000E’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 analysing over
3 billion different image patterns, to optimise
and eliminate excessive power consumption.
LSI chip integration further lowers the
PT-AE4000E’s main power consumption,
making it an eco-friendly projector.

Other Ecological Considerations

• An off-timer that reduces wasteful power
consumption. • RoHS compliance. • Lead-
free solder for mounting components to printed
circuit boards. • No vinyl chloride in interior
wiring. • No halogenated flame retardants in
the cabinet. • No styrofoam in packing materi-
als. • Lead-free glass for the lens.
