Installing / Connecting
●
Ask the dealer or a qualified technician to carry out the cable wiring work for DIGITAL LINK connections.
Insufficient wiring work may cause the inability to apply the cable transmission characteristics and cropped
or fuzzy images and sounds.
●
The transmission distance between the twisted pair cable transmitter and the device is up to 100 meters.
Exceeding this distance can cause cropped images or sounds, as well as LAN communication errors.
●
Do not use a hub between the twisted pair cable transmitter and the Display.
●
When connecting to the Display using the twisted pair cable transmitter (receiver) of other maker, do not
use another twisted pair cable transmitter between the twisted pair cable transmitter of other maker and
this device. The images and sounds may be interrupted or become unstable.
●
If possible, lay the cable so that it is extended and not coiled in order to minimize both external and internal noise.
●
Lay out cables of the twist pair cable transmitter and this product away from other cables, especially from
the power supply cable.
●
When laying multiple cables, keep them as close together as possible running parallelly and not bundled.
●
After laying the cable(s), make sure that the signal quality in “DIGITAL LINK status” is -12 dB or below.
Twisted pair cables
●
Use a LAN cable between the twisted pair cable transmitter and the device that conforms to the following
conditions.
●
It meets or exceeds CAT5e standards
●
It is a straight cable
●
It is a shielded cable (with a connector)
●
It is a solid cable
●
When laying the cable(s), use an instrument such as a cable tester or cable analyzer and check whether the cable
characteristics are CAT5e or above. When using a relay connector along the path, also include this in the measurements.
●
Do not pull cables hard. Also avoid forcefully bending or folding them.
Other
●
This device is compatible with Panasonic devices that support DIGITAL LINK output (ET-YFB100G,
ET-YFB200G). For the twisted pair cable transmitter of other manufacturers, see the web site:

● Panasonic has tested other manufacturers’ devices according to our check items. This will not guarantee
all the operations. For operation and performance defects caused by other manufacturers’ devices, contact
each manufacturer.
Precautions for use while connecting with a twisted pair cable transmitter
Example of Network Connection (DIGITAL LINK)
A twisted pair cable transmitter, such as the Panasonic device that supports DIGITAL LINK output (ET-YFB100G,
ET-YFB200G) uses twisted pair cables to transmit inputted video and audio signals, and these digital signals can
be input to the Display via the DIGITAL LINK terminal.
