Control Reference Guide: I/O Connectors
7.
HDMI OUT port
Connect a monitor or TV using an HDMI cable.
Note:
• This unit does not support VIERA link. Be careful because
connecting it to a VIERA link compatible device with an
HDMI cable may cause VIERA link to malfunction on that de-
vice.
• Use a double-shielded cable to connect to this port.
8.
REMOTE connector
Connect an external controller to control the unit from the
external device.
Note:
Use a double-shielded cable to connect to this connector.
9.
KEYBOARD port (USB 2.0 Type A)
Connect an external USB keyboard to enter metadata and
other data.

10.
USB 2.0 device port
(
➝
“USB Device Mode” page 64)
Note:
Use a double-shielded cable to connect to this port.
11.
AC IN connector
Use the supplied AC cable to connect to a power outlet.
Note:
When both an AC power supply and external DC power sup-
ply are connected, priority is given to supplying power from
the AC power supply.
12.
DC IN connector
Connect a 12 V DC power supply.
When the voltage drops to approximately 10.6 V, the unit
is shutdown automatically. (When the “EXT DC IN SE-
LECT” (
➝
page 98) menu item is set to “DC PWR SUP-
PLY”)
Afterwards, the power is not restored automatically even if
the power supply voltage recovers. Press the [
] but-
ton to turn the power on.
Note:
For the DC cable, use a shielded cable that is shorter than 2
m (78-3/4 inches). Using a DC cable of 2 m (78-3/4 inches) or
longer may result in noise appearing on the screen.
13.
AES / EBU IN / OUT connectors
These connectors are for inputting and outputting digital
audio signals that comply with the AES/EBU standard.
Note:
• The digital audio signals that are input need to be synchro-
nized with the video input signals. If they are not synchro-
nized, the audio output signals will be affected by noise.
• Use double-shielded cables to connect to these connec-
tors.
14.
LAN port
This port enables a 1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T
network connection.

“Using the Unit Connected to a Network” page 56)
Note:
• Use a shielded cable to connect to this port.
• The orange lamp lights when a LAN link is established. The
green lamp flashes while data is being transferred.

When using an external DC power supply, be sure to check
the external DC power supply ratings and use one that is
suitable for the unit.
Check the pin assignment of the DC output connector
of the external DC power supply and the DC IN connec-
tor on the unit, and connect the connectors with the cor-
rect polarity. Incorrect connection of the +12 V power
supply to the GND connector may cause a fire or injury.
