Note
 fThe maximum transmission distance when connected with the long-reach communication method is 150   m (492'2"). In this case, the signal 
that the projector can receive is only up to 1080/60p (1   920   x   1   080 dots, dot clock frequency 148.5   MHz).
 fWhen the communication method of the twist-pair-cable transmitter is set to long reach, the projector will connect with long-reach 
communication method when [DIGIT

 fFor the LAN cable between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector , use a cable that meets the following criteria:
 gConforming to CA

T5e or higher standards
 gShielded type (including connectors)
 gStraight-through
 gSingle wire
 fThe maximum transmission distance between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector is 100

  m (328'1") for the signal with 
resolution of 1
  920   x   1   200 dots or less. It is possible to transmit up to 150   m (492'2") if the twisted-pair-cable transmitter supports the 
long-reach communication method. However, the signal that the projector can receive is only up to 1080/60p (1
  920   x   1   080 dots, dot 
clock frequency 148.5
  MHz) for the long-reach communication method. For the signal with the resolution exceeding 1   920   x   1   200 dots, 
the maximum transmission distance will be 50
  m (164'1"). If these distances are exceeded, image may be disrupted or a malfunction may 
occur in LAN communication.
 f When laying cables between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector , confirm that cable characteristics are compatible with 
CA

T5e 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 .
 fDo not pull cables forcefully

. Also, do not bend or fold cables unnecessarily.
 fT

o 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.
 fWhen laying multiple cables, run them side by side along the shortest distance possible without bundling them together .
 fAfter 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. (x
  page   162)
 fFor twisted-pair-cable transmitters of other manufacturers of which the operation has been verified with the projector , visit the Panasonic 
website (http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/). Note that the verification for devices of other manufacturers has been made for the items set 
by Panasonic Corporation, and not all the operations have been verified. For operation or performance problems caused by the devices of 
other manufacturers, contact the respective manufacturers.
