Chapter 2 Getting Started ā Connecting52 - ENGLISHConnecting example: Twisted-pair-cable transmitterTwisted-pair-cable transmitters such as the optional Digital Interface Box (Model No.: ET-YFB100G) use twisted-pair-cables to transmit inputimages, Ethernet, and serial control signals, and the projector can input those digital signals to the terminal.Blu-ray disc playerHDMI cable(commercially available)Control computerProjector connecting terminals Example of twisted-pair-cable transmitterComputerComputer cable(commercially available)VCRHub(with built-in TBC)Attentionf 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 VCRf If nonstandard burst signals are connected, the image may be distorted. In such case, connect the time base corrector (TBC) between theprojector and the external devices.f To assure continued performance and FCC compliance, use only high quality HDMI/DVI conversion cable with two ferrite cores.f Ask a qualified technician or your dealer to install the cable wiring for a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector. Image may bedisrupted 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 higherg Shielded type (including connectors)g Straight-throughg Single wiref When laying cables between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, check that cable characteristics are compatible with CAT5eor 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 image to bedisrupted.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 projectorwithout 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, confirm that the value of [SIGNAL QUALITY] in the [NETWORK] menu ā [DIGITAL LINK STATUS] is displayed ingreen (indicates normal quality). (x page 135)Notef For an HDMI cable, use an HDMI High Speed cable that conforms to HDMI standards. If a cable that does not conform to HDMI standardsis used, image 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 isexceeded, image may be disrupted and may cause a malfunction in LAN communication. Please note that we do not support the use of theprojector outside the maximum transmission distance.f For twisted-pair-cable transmitter of other manufacturers of which the operation has been verified with the DIGITAL LINK compatibleprojector, refer to Panasonic website (http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/). Note that the verification for devices of other manufacturershas been made for the items set by Panasonic Corporation, and not all the operations have been verified. For operation or performanceproblems caused by the devices of other manufacturers, contact the respective manufacturers.
