PT-AE4000

Full High-Definition Home Cinema Projector
PT-AE4000
Flexible Installation and Smart, Easy Operation
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 projector 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 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 possible to project a 120-inch picture from as close as 3.6 m (11´10.) to the screen or as far as 7.2 m (23´7.) away. In addition, the image can be shifted ±100% vertically, 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.
VIERA Link for Easy Operation

The PT-AE4000 supports VIERA Link. If your home theater system contains VIERA Link-ready equipment, projection can be started by using only the remote control unit of the PT-AE4000, regardless of whether the source is a Blu-ray Disc or a TV program stored on an HD recorder. This eliminates the need for hassling with several remote controls*.

* Cannot be used simultaneously with TV that supports VIERA Link. Some operations may not be available depending on the equipment. In this case, use its own remote control to operate the equipment.

Programmable 12V Trigger for Automated Theater Setup
Two 12V triggers are provided. Since the input and output can be set independently (menu selectable), they can link flexibly with powered screens, room light and powered curtains. When combined with the Intelligent Lens Memory, they let you create a truly classy home theater.
HDMI with x.v.Color™ Deep Color™

The PT-AE4000 has three HDMI input terminals for digital transmission without image degradation. 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 billion) and 12-bit (over 68.7 billion) color depths for smooth gradation between colors, while x.v.Color™ compliance reproduces natural, lifelike images*.

*Effective in Color 1 image mode.

Simple 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-AE4000 is installed on the ceiling.


A Stylish Lens-Centered Design
The PT-AE4000 features a symmetrical design with a centered lens and a high-grade finish that suggests quality. Also available is an optional cable cover (ET-PCE2000) that extends the projector’s symmetrical design concept and conceals the connection cables.

Supplied remote control with back-lit buttons


User Memory Customization

Up to sixteen sets of adjustment settings can be stored in memory with custom names that make them easy to remember.

On-screen Input Guidance

A graphic display on the screen shows which terminals have been selected for sources. An indicator blinks to alert you if you've selected a terminal that has no device connected to it.
Auto Input Search

When the projector is turned on, the input terminals are detected and an input signal is selected automatically. You can switch the system on/off.

NORMAL/ECO Lamp Power Selection

You can adjust the power of the lamp to save on electricity, prolong the lamp life and reduce the noise.
NORMAL : When higher luminance is required such as movies
ECO-Mode : When lower luminance is sufficient such as in a small room


Quiet Operation: 22dB

We reduced fan noise all the way down to 22 dB (in lamp Eco-Mode) by improving the efficiency of the cooling system. The PT-AE4000's whisper-quiet operation means there's nothing to keep you from enjoying all the beauty of the large-screen HD images.
