Chapter 2Getting Started — Connecting
32 - 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 and the external devices.
f Use a commercial HDMI/DVI conversion cable with a ferrite core.
f Ask a qualied 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 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 manufacturer, do not place another twisted-pair-
cable transmitter (receiver) between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter of other manufacturer 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 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 installing multiple cables, run them side by side along the shortest distance possible without bundling them together.
f After laying the cables, conrm that the value of [SIGNAL QUALITY] in the [NETWORK] menu [DIGITAL LINK STATUS] is displayed in
green (indicates normal quality). (x page 99)
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 For twisted-pair-cable transmitter of other manufacturers of which the operation has been veried with the DIGITAL LINK compatible
projector, refer to Panasonic website (http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/). Note that the verication for devices of other manufacturers
has been made for the items set by Panasonic Corporation, and not all the operations have been veried. For operation or performance
problems caused by the devices of other manufacturers, contact the respective manufacturers.
Connecting example: IR transmitter
VESA standard 3D eyewear
VESA standard IR transmitter
Note
f When viewing 3D images using VESA standard 3D eyewear, connect the commercially available VESA standard IR transmitter and set the
[3D SETTINGS] menu [3D MODE] to [3D SYNC] or [DLP Link + 3D SYNC].
f When using 3D eyewear that supports DLP Link, an IR transmitter is not required.
When using 3D eyewear that supports DLP Link, set the [3D SETTINGS] menu [3D MODE] to [DLP Link] or [DLP Link + 3D SYNC].
