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.

Intelligent Power Management System
for Eco-Friendly Power Consumption
The PT-AE4000E realises an extremely
low standby power consumption of 0.08 W*
6
,
lowest in its class.*
7
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. • Lead-free glass for the lens.
