Connecting example: Using DIGITAL LINK
(Not available for PT-VMZ40)
Twisted-pair-cable transmitter based on the communication standard HDBaseT
TM
such as the optional DIGITAL
LINK output supported device (Model No.: ET-YFB100G, ET-YFB200G) uses the twisted pair cable to transmit
input images, audio, Ethernet, and serial control signal, and the projector can input such digital signal to the
<DIGITAL LINK/LAN> terminal.

HDMI cable
(commercially available)
Blu-ray disc player
VCR
(with built-in TBC)
*1 Control target is the projector or the twisted-pair-cable transmitter. The control itself may not be possible depending on the twisted-pair-
cable transmitter. Check the operating instructions of the device to be connected.
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
Ask a qualified technician or your dealer to install the cable wiring for a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector. The image 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
g
Diameter of the cable core is same or larger than AWG24 (AWG24, AWG23, etc.)
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 between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter of other manufacturer and the projector. This may cause image and sound to be
disrupted.
f
The <DIGITAL LINK/LAN> terminal and the <LAN> terminal are connected inside the projector. When using both the <DIGITAL LINK/
LAN> terminal and the <LAN> terminal, configure the system to prevent them from being connected to the same network directly or via the
peripheral devices such as a hub or twisted-pair-cable transmitter.
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, confirm that the value of [SIGNAL QUALITY] in the [NETWORK] menu
→
[DIGITAL LINK STATUS] is displayed in
green (indicates normal quality). (
