To all who purchased this projector, shutting down after 5 minutes is a known and fixable issue. If its out of warranty you can do the fix yourself. You can either replace the iris (which will require the manual, you can find that online for about $12), or get some household 3in1 oil, remove the bulb, the iris is on the other side of the light prism.. you can they put a few drops of oil onto the iris bearing (pivot point). You can see what I mean by trying to move the iris arms, its where the upper arm attaches and pivots. After putting a few drops of oil on go ahead and move the iris arms a few times, then let it sit overnight upside down (this allows a drop to move down to the lower iris arm). after the overnight check the arm again if its moving free you should be set. otherwise go to panasonic online parts and order the iris, its $85 and its from the newer AX200u, and get the manual, its involved but doable by anyone with some pc-repair experience.. cheers!
