Connecting example using DIGITAL LINK
Twisted-pair-cable transmitters based on the communication standard HDBaseT
TM
such as the optional DIGITAL
LINK output supported device (Model No.: ET-YFB100G, ET-YFB200G) use twisted pair cables to transmit input
images, Ethernet, and serial control signals, and the projector can input those digital signals to the <DIGITAL
LINK/LAN> terminal.

transmitter. Check the operating instructions of the device to be connected.
Attention
f
Always use one of the following when connecting a VCR.
g
Use a VCR with built-in time base corrector (TBC).
g
Use a time base corrector (TBC) between the projector and the VCR.
f
The image may be disrupted when nonstandard burst signal is connected. In such a case, connect the time base corrector (TBC) between
the projector and the external devices.
f
Ask a qualified technician or your dealer to install the cable wiring between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector. Image may
be disrupted if cable transmission characteristics cannot be obtained due to inadequate installation.
f
For the LAN cable between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, use a cable that meets the following criteria:
g
Conforming to CAT5e or higher standards
g
Shielded type (including connectors)
g
Straight-through
g
Single wire
g
Diameter of the cable core is same or larger than AWG24 (AWG24, AWG23, etc.)
f
When laying cables between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, confirm that cable characteristics are compatible with
CAT5e or higher using tools such as a cable tester or cable analyzer.
When a relay connector is used, include it in the measurement.
f
Do not use a hub between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector.
f
When connecting to the projector using a twisted-pair-cable transmitter (receiver) of other manufacturers, do not place another twisted-pair-
cable transmitter between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter of other manufacturers and the projector. This may cause image to be disrupted.
f
The <DIGITAL LINK/LAN> terminal and <LAN> terminal are connected inside of the projector. If both the <DIGITAL LINK/LAN> terminal and
<LAN> terminal are used, configure the system so that these terminals are not directly connected or connected through peripheral devices
such as a hub or a twisted-pair-cable transmitter to the same network.
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 the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector away from other cables, particularly power cables.
f
When laying multiple cables, run them side by side along the shortest distance possible without bundling them together.
f
After laying the cables, go to the [NETWORK] menu
→
[DIGITAL LINK STATUS] and confirm that the value of [SIGNAL QUALITY] is
displayed in green which indicates normal quality. (

Note
f
Switching of the setting in the [DISPLAY OPTION] menu
→
[DIGITAL LINK IN]
→
[EDID SELECT] may be required depending on the
connected external device when DIGITAL LINK signal is input.
f
For the HDMI cable, use an HDMI High Speed cable that conforms to the HDMI standards. If a cable that does not conform to the HDMI
standards is used, images may be interrupted or may not be projected.
