Connecting the signal source to the input module for analog RGB signals
If using the input module for analog RGB signals in order to connect the projector to a personal computer, you will
also need to use a separate interface (D-SUB /BNC) cable.

The table below lists the different types of analog RGB signals that can be input.
If a signal which differs greatly from any of the types listed below is input, the picture image may not be
displayed correctly, or black background may displayed.

Connecting the signal source to the input module for video signals
1.Connecting a video signal source
• Switching between LINE input and Y/C input is carried out by toggling the INPUT button.
(Example)  If the ET-MD95VM2 is inserted in slot 1 the selection will change as follows each time the INPUT 1
button on the remote control unit (or the INPUT button on the projector operating panel) is pressed.
LINE input → Y/C input

• If connecting a VCR, be sure to use one which has a built-in TBC.
• If applying a signal with nonstandard burst signal, the picture may become unstable. 
In this case, connect a time base corrector between this module and its signal source.

Connecting the signal source to the input module for TMDS signals
• This input module is for use with personal computers which are equipped with a TMDS output connector.
• The connector is a MDR 26-pin connector.
• The cable used should not be longer than 7 m / 22.96 feet( Recommend length : 5 m / 16.4 feet).
If a cable which is longer than 7 m (22.96 feet) is used, signal conditioning amplifier should also be used.
• Before connecting the cable, check to make sure that the projector and PC are turned off. If cable
connection is attempted with the projector and/or PC turned on, the PC may be damaged.
• Concerning a connecting cable used for this module, because its characteristic impedance can affect the
picture performance, consult a Panasonic sales company.

• Use an input module which correctly matches the input signal type.
• The SYSTEM SELECTOR button can be used to toggle between different formats when using input
modules that can handle two different signals with different specifications. The current signal format can be
checked by looking at the on-screen display.

• Use an input module which correctly matches the input signal type.
• Input modules that accommodate the 4 video signal formats described above can be switched from one to
another with the SYSTEM SELECTOR button that cycles through those signal formats. The selected input
signal is indicated by an OSD message that automatically goes off.
• The SYSTEM SELECTOR should normally be set in the AUTO position.
• The automatic scan format identification logic may malfunction if signal connections other than those
described above are employed or an unstable video signal is applied. In such an event, use the SYSTEM
SELECTOR button to select the scan format that matches the video signal format applied.
• To ensure correct video signal transmission, use 3C2W or better than 3C2W cables for video interconnections 
(e.g., 3C2W, 3CFB, 4CFB, 5C2W, 5CFTX, 7CFB, etc.).

• Use an input module which correctly matches the input signal type.
• Input modules that accommodate 8 video signal formats (14 scan formats) (SMPTE292M) can be switched
from one to another with the SYSTEM SELECTOR switch that cycles through those signal formats. 
The selected input signal is indicated by an OSD message that automatically goes off.
• The SYSTEM SELECTOR should normally be set in the AUTO position.
• The automatic scan format identification logic may malfunction if signal connections other than those
described above are employed or an unstable video signal is applied. In such an event, use the SYSTEM
SELECTOR button to select the scan format that matches the video signal format applied.
• To ensure correct video signal transmission, use 5CFB or better than 5CFB cables for video interconnections

Selecting the input signal
• The following remote control unit buttons and the INPUT button on the projector operating panel can be used to
switch between different input sources.
• The input source can be changed in the order INPUT 1  INPUT 2  INPUT 3 each time the INPUT button on the
projector operating panel is pressed.
• When using the video signal input module ( ET-MD95VM2), the input source will toggle between LINE
and Y/C input each time the above input selection buttons are pressed.
(Example) If the ET-MD95VM2 has been installed to slot 1.
When INPUT 1 of remote control (or INPUT button the projector operating panel) is pressed, LINE
input will be selected, and when it is pressed once more, Y/C input will be selected.
Selecting the system format
• When the SYSTEM SELECTOR button on the remote control unit or the projector operating panel is pressed, the
signal format will change as shown below depending on which input module is installed.
