Connecting; Before Connecting - Panasonic PT-MZ10K Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting

Before connecting

f Before connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for the external device to be connected.
f Turn off the power of all devices before connecting cables.
f Connect cables taking care of the following descriptions. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.
g When connecting a cable to a device connected to the projector or the projector itself, touch any nearby
metallic objects to eliminate static electricity from your body before performing work.
g Do not use unnecessarily long cables to connect a device to the projector or to the projector body. The longer
the cable, the more susceptible to noise it becomes. Since using a cable while it is wound makes it act like an
antenna, it is more susceptible to noise.
g When connecting cables, connect GND first, then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting device in a
straight manner.
f Acquire any connection cable necessary to connect the external device to the system that is neither supplied
with the device nor available as an option.
f If video signals from video equipment contain too much jitter, the images on the screen may wobble. In this
case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.
f If synchronization signals output from computers or video equipment are disrupted due to changes in the video
output setting or other reasons, colors of projected images may be temporarily disrupted.
f The projector accepts YC
digital signals.
f Some computer models cannot be connected to the projector.
f Use a cable compensator when you connect devices to the projector using long cables. Otherwise the projector
may not project the image properly.
f For details of the types of video signals that can be used with the projector, refer to "List of compatible signals"
(x page 232).
