Author Topic: Panasonic PT102Y CRT Projector Question (Image Inverting) Paul Cassidy Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 549 From: Auckland, New Zealand Registered: Aug 2001 posted 06-12-2003 09:26 AM                        Our Local Church has been given a Panasonic CRT projector and this was originally set up for Ceiling mount , but they require it to be Table Top , Question is ...(as there is no manual) how do you set up the unit for this ??? I have looked inside and can only see a couple of possible connections that can be changed , but I don't want to blow the thing up ....has anyone worked on this type of projector and knows how to invert or flip the image . http://202.135.231.4/photoserver/49/1064149_full.jpg  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-12-2003 11:50 AM                     I don't know. But I have this suspicion that all you have to do is turn around the connections to the CRT. (Plug them in backwards.) Then of course you have to re-converge the whole damn thing. Note: I have never worked on a Panasonic CRT projector. I have only worked on one Sony projector. This is just an opinion or a guess. Somebody tell me if I’m right or wrong.  |  IP: Logged Paul Cassidy Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 549 From: Auckland, New Zealand Registered: Aug 2001 posted 06-12-2003 03:17 PM                        That,swhat I thought as well ,but the plugs only go one way , other projectors have plugs & swithces that you just connect in the opposite locations and there is normally a Floor Ceiling mount selector as well ,but this thing has only got six plugs that can be switched ,then others can be done on the service Remote ,but it does not look like it ever had a Remote as I can see no IR reciever  |  IP: Logged Paul Cassidy Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 549 From: Auckland, New Zealand Registered: Aug 2001 posted 06-13-2003 10:58 AM                        I think I may have found the answer , as there is a connector for the Horizontal (Red & Blue) and Vertical (Yellow & Brown ) all I need to do is reverse the Vertical connectors and it should be OK  |  IP: Logged Paul Cassidy Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 549 From: Auckland, New Zealand Registered: Aug 2001 posted 06-14-2003 10:17 PM                        Was able to invert the Image vertically by swapping the Brown and Yelloew , but was not able to correct the Floor Ceiling bias ,will keep hunting fir the switch or plug to change this ,as there is not enough adjustment to compensate for this (it looks like a pyramid at the moment)  |  IP: Logged
