Projector connecting terminals
*1 The control target will be the projector or the twisted-pair-cable transmitter. The control itself may not be possible depending on the
twisted-paircable transmitter. Check the operating instructions of the device to be connected.
Attention
f Always use one of the following when connecting a VCR.
g A VCR with built-in time base corrector (TBC)
g A time base corrector (TBC) between the projector and the VCR
f If nonstandard burst signals are connected, the image may be distorted. In such a case, connect the time base corrector (TBC) between the
projector and the external devices.
f Ask a qualified technician or your dealer to install the cable wiring for a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector. Image and sound
may be disrupted if cable transmission characteristics cannot be obtained due to inadequate installation.
f For the LAN cable between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, use a cable that meets the following criteria:
g Compatible with CAT5e or higher
g Shielded type (including connectors)
g Straight-through
g Single wire
f When laying cables between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, check that cable characteristics are compatible with CAT5e
or higher using tools such as a cable tester or cable analyzer.
When a relay connector is used, include it in the measurement.
f Do not use a hub between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector.
f When connecting to the projector using a twisted-pair-cable transmitter (receiver) of other manufacturer, do not place another twisted-pair-
cable transmitter between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter of other manufacturer and the projector. This may cause image and sound to be
disrupted.
f Do not pull cables forcefully. In addition, do not bend or fold cables unnecessarily.
f To reduce the effects of noise as much as possible, stretch out the cables between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector
without any loops.
f Lay the cables between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector away from other cables, particularly power cables.
f When laying multiple cables, run them side by side along the shortest distance possible without bundling them together.
f After laying the cables, confirm that the value of [SIGNAL QUALITY] in the [NETWORK] menu → [DIGITAL LINK STATUS] is displayed in
green to indicate normal quality. ( x page 107)
Note
f For an HDMI cable, use an HDMI High Speed cable that conforms to HDMI standards. If a cable that does not conform to HDMI standards
is used, images may be interrupted or may not be displayed.
f The projector does not support VIERA Link (HDMI).
f The maximum transmission distance between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector is 100 m (328'1"). It is possible to transmit
up to 150 m (492'2") if the twisted-pair-cable transmitter supports the long-reach communication method. If this distance is exceeded, image
may be disrupted or a malfunction may occur in LAN communication. Please note that we do not support the use of the projector outside the
maximum transmission distance. When connecting with the long reach, there may be a limitation to the video signal that can be transmitted
or the distance depending on the specification of the twisted-pair-cable transmitter.
f For twisted-pair-cable transmitters of other manufacturers of which the operation has been verified with the projector, refer to the Panasonic
website (http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/). Note that the verification for devices of other manufacturers has been made for the items set
by Panasonic Corporation, and not all the operations have been verified. For operation or performance problems caused by the devices of
other manufacturers, contact the respective manufacturers.
