1 out of 5 stars Defective, as many others seem to be   August 26, 2008
I'll chime in that mine, too, shuts off randomly and won't allow me to do anything useful with it. I thought it was a great thing to play Guitar Hero on, since there was no lag and it had a good picture, but 3 months later and it just shuts off for fun.

If someone could post a nice repair guide for it I'd love to take a look. There is no way I'm sending it to Kansas like the other guy who made a comment.



1 out of 5 stars Panasonix AX-100U sucks + no support   July 15, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I had purchased this projector12 months back and am facing a problem as briefed below and possible solutions tried but the problem is still not fixed.

1) The projector powers off after 30-60 seconds on starting and goes on stand by (yellow light). It then shows a red light of power off

2) The projector does not start after this with the remote

3) It has to be powered off from the mains and then restarted

4) Earlier, this used to happen once and now it behaves abnormally and sometimes it has to be restarted even upto 8 times or sometimes even just 2 times

5) After this, the projector does not shut down and movies can be watched for even as long as 8-10 hours

The projector was given to a service centre who did not find any problems in the hardware (power ballast, fans, bulb etc is ok). They have suggested that the PCB mainboard should be changed which costs as much as a new projector.




1 out of 5 stars Bad Iris here   July 2, 2008

I am in the same boat as the others - bad iris. This product stinks and unfortunately I was taken.

Now I will have to be shipping it around at my expense.

This will be the last Panasonic product I buy.



1 out of 5 stars These are lemon projectors   May 1, 2008
Don't Buy!!!! Sent in for repair more than once. Now that the warrantee has expired the projector is dead. Google for tons of other problems that other people have had.


1 out of 5 stars Great picture until it goes black   April 24, 2008
Same problem that everybody else is reporting. I had one for about 3 months and it started blanking, so I returned it for another. This one has worked for about 6 months and it is now doing the same thing.

Basically you turn it on, and within 5 minutes, the picture goes black. If you pull the plug and restart it, it'll come up again. The problem seems to be getting worse, as for a while it would only require 1 restart, and now it has been requiring 2 or 3.

I did notice the 2nd one's test pattern is now yellow and blue, instead of white and black, which is apparently because of color streaks which would be all too visible on the original test pattern.

This seems pretty dirty of Panasonic. On the plus side, the image is fantastic when it works.
