Notes for connecting this unit and the HDBaseT transmitter
 Ask a professional or Sony dealer to perform wiring. If wiring is not correct, the transmission 
characteristics of the cable will not be achieved, and image or sound may break up or you 
may experience unstable performance.
 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 the image or the sound to break up, or cause a 
multifunction in LAN communication. Do not use the HDBaseT transmitter beyond the 
transmittable distance.
 Inquire about operation or function problems caused by other manufacturer’s devices with 
the relevant manufacturer.
Connecting to network equipment
For connecting to network equipment via the HDBaseT terminal to control the projector.
 When using network features, be sure to check if “LAN Setting” is set to “via HDBaseT” 
(page 34).
 Connect this unit and the HDBaseT transmitter directly without a hub or router.
