Chapter 2 Getting Started — Connecting
30 - ENGLISH
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 case, connect the time base corrector (TBC) between the
projector.
f
Use a commercial HDMI/DVI conversion cable with a ferrite core.
f
Ask a qualied technician or your dealer to install the cable wiring for a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector connection. Image
and sound may be disrupted if cable transmission characteristics can not be obtained due to inadequate installation.
f
For the LAN cable between a 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 a 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 using a relay connector midway, include it in the measurement.
f
Do not use a hub between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector.
f
When connecting to the projector using a twisted-pair-cable transmitter (receiver) of other company, do not place another twisted-pair-
cable transmitter in between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter of other company and the projector. This may cause sound and image to be
disrupted.
f
Do not pull cables forcefully. Also, do not bend or fold cables unnecessarily.
f
To reduce noise, stretch out the cables between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector without any loops as much as possible
before setting them up and using them.
f
Lay the cables between a twisted-pair cable transmitter and the projector away from other cables, particularly power cables.
f
When installing multiple cables, run them side by side along the shortest distance possible without bundling them together.
f
After laying the cables, conrm that the [SIGNAL QUALITY] value is displayed in green to indicate normal quality using the [NETWORK]
menu
→
[DIGITAL LINK STATUS]. (

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"). If this distance is
exceeded, image and sound may be disrupted and may cause a malfunction in LAN communication. Please note that we do not support the
use of the projector outside the maximum transmission distance.
f
With some exceptions, operation with twisted-pair-cable transmitters of other companies is not guaranteed. For support of devices of other
companies, refer to Panasonic website (http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/).
