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).
 fIf the communication method of the twist-pair-cable transmitter is set to long reach, the projector will connect with long-reach communication 
method when the item is set to [AUT

O]. To connect with the optional DIGITAL LINK Switcher (Model No.: ET
-
 YFB200G) with the long-reach

serial control signal via the LAN cable.
Example of a normal network connection
Computer Projector
LAN cable (straight) LAN cable (straight) Hub
Attention
 fWhen a LAN cable is directly connected to the projector , the network connection must be made indoors.
Note
 fA LAN cable is required to use the network function. fUse a straight or crossover LAN cable that is compatible with CA T5 or higher
. Either the straight or the crossover cable, or both cables 
can be used depending on the system configuration. Consult your network administrator . The projector will determine the type of the cable 
(straight or crossover) automatically.
 f Use a LAN cable of 100

  m (328'1") or shorter.

Attention
 f
When a LAN cable is directly connected to the projector , the network connection must be made indoors.
Note
 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"). 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. 
If this distance is 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.
 f For 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.
