Connections and Preparations
Connecting the Projector
Notes
Turn off all devices before making any connections.
Use the proper cables for each connection.

Connecting to a Network Equipment
Using a LAN terminal
LAN cable (straight type) (not supplied)
LAN terminal
Computer
Hub, router, etc
Note
When using network features via the LAN terminal, be sure to check if “LAN Setting” is set to “LAN Port” (page 30).
Connecting to a HDBaseT™ Device
The HDBaseT transmitter is used when connecting the projector to a computer, video device, or network equipment.
Notes for connecting this unit to the HDBaseT transmitter
Ask a professional or Sony dealer to perform wiring. If wiring has been insufficiently performed, it affects the transmission characteristics of the cable, and causes broken or unstable images.
Connect the cable directly to the HDBaseT transmitter without going through a hub or router.
Use cables that meet the following conditions.
-CAT5e or higher
-Shielded type (covering connectors)
-Straight wire connection
-Single wire
When installing the cables, use a cable tester, cable analyzer, or similar device to check if the cables meet the CAT5e or higher requirement. If there is a transit connector between this unit and the HDBaseT transmitter, include it when measuring.
To reduce the affect of noise, install and use the cable in a manner where it is not rolled up and it is as straight as possible.
Install the cable away from the other cables (especially the power cable).
When installing multiple cables, do not bind them and keep the running parallel distance as short as possible.
The transmittable distance of the cable is 100 m (approx. 328 feet) maximum. If it exceeds 100 m (approx. 328 feet), it may cause broken images or a malfunction in LAN communication. Do not use the HDBaseT transmitter beyond the maximum transmittable distance of the cable.
For operation or function problems caused by devices of other manufacturers, contact the relevant manufacturer.
