Hello muhammadProjector's lamp life is said to be, not with the lens life. Lens is made up of glass. But lamp will go weak. the life of lame will depend on how much time the projectior have used. Normal life of Panasonic projector bulb spans between [1800 to 2000] continous use. It means, if we take the low life span of the bulb as 1800 Hours [1800/24=75 Continous days]. If we use it for 4 hours a day, the bulb may last for [1800/4=450 days ie 1 Year and 85 days] OK.

Your projector might have a problem with the cooling system. When that happens projectors shut off automatically due to overheating.
Check whether the fans are working. If they do, and if it is somewhat old, open the cover and clean the 'air filters' that might have bee blocked due to dust.
Hope you will be able to correct resolve the issue.
Best of luck!

is the air filter cleaned up properly. are all the fans switching on correctly. are there any blockages to the air flow that would cause overheating

hi,
you didn't mentioned any thing about the indications. is there is any indication on the projector. if projector have some problem it will show the indication for the same using its self diagnosing system.

just do one thing check the power cable and the power at the socket to which you have connected the projector. if these are ok and the projector have no indications on its panel, then the smps power supply in side the projector have some problem. if so it is difficult repair the smps by the user. need good knowledge of electronics servicing, because there is harmful high voltage points.

Is there is any indication on its panel, then if you discribe the same will provide you the exact solution .
Also try to check the inserted new lamp , lamp cover is it properly closed etc.

if the projector starts try to reset the lamp hour
1. Go to its menu select option2
2. From the option 2 menu select lamp runtime
3. Press and hold the enter button for approximately 3 seconds
4. After resting just power off your projector and turn it on again.

Also check one more thing

The "CONTROL KEY" may be set to "OFF". In order to set the "CONTROL KEY" to "ON"
without using the remote control unit, keep holding down the ENTER button on the projector and press the MENU button for more than 2 seconds.

ok

Hi I am Vortash the problem sounds like a corruption of the remote processor , that is providing the Lamp has not blown , unfourtunatly these systems are very user unfriendly and the average repair ( apart from replacing the bulb and even that causes problems with the lamp hour monitor sometimes ? ) can not be effected by the owner .. It is probably best for you to take it to a service department and have a free estimate ,get them to check the bulb is working .. If it is you may find it cheaper to get a replacement unit off ebay that requires a bulb than the cost of repair . I actually trade in these units .. I purchase one of ebay that is not working but has a good bulb .. when it arrives I throw the unit away and keep the bulb .. the units are ten a penny the bulbs are the gold .. ? an average bulb can cost 2 to 300 pounds but a projector can be purchased for under £50 .. so you see they are actually a throw away commodity .. sorry I couldnt be of more help regards Vortash

A TV is meant as a video display device, not a source. As such, it might have an audio output to run to something like a home theater amplifier, but it would be a truly rare TV that has a video output as well.

What you should do is connect another device such as a VCR that can act as a TV tuner. You can run the VCR's video and audio outputs to the projector, tune in the channel you want to watch with the VCR's tuner, and you're all set. If you're on a digital cable system and have a converter box, you can use the outputs from the converter box instead of bothering with the VCR.

Press 'menu' and 'enter' buttons at the same time.

Hi there

There is normally a sequence of buttons on the Projector that needs to be pressed ! What make and model do you have ?

Adjust the screen area of the computer’s display settings to match the projector’s native resolution. Refer to your projector documentation for the optimum or native-resolution setting for your projector model. If you can't find this information or are uncertain, most projectors support a maximum of 800 x 600 pixels.
• With certain laptops, you might need to disable the laptop display to obtain the best image, especially when the native resolution of the laptop exceeds the native resolution of the projector.
• Font smoothing will automatically generate a cleaner font outline, both on your laptop and on the projector. To apply font smoothing, do the following:
1.
In Control Panel, open Display.
2.
On the Appearance tab, click the Effects button.
3.
In the Effects dialog box, select the Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts check box, and then select Standard or ClearType in the list.


If the projected image is dimmer than it was on the laptop, check your projector documentation for information regarding lamp timers. If the lamp life has expired, replace the lamp for maximum brightness.
If the projected image is not rectangular, try one or both of the following:
• Make sure that the projector is perpendicular to the viewing screen.
• Raise or lower the projector.
If the projected image displays vertical lines, "bleeding," or spots, try one or more of the following:
• Adjust the brightness of the image.
• Check the projector lens to see whether it needs cleaning.
• Adjust the sync and tracking on the projector.

Your lamp is going out, replace it and then reset your lamp timer through menu.

Your lamp ballast could be bad. If you have had it unplugged for a while, plug it in for about an hour before turning on, then reset your lamp timer.
