When using the multiple projectors
When you use the multiple projectors together, you can operate all the projectors simultaneously or each projector
individually using a single remote control, if a unique ID number is assigned to each projector.
When using the projectors by setting the ID numbers, set the ID number of the projector body after initial settings
have been completed. Then, set the ID number of the remote control. For initial settings, refer to “When the initial
setting screen is displayed” (x page 61).
The factory default ID number of the projector (projector body and remote control) is set to [ALL], so you can use it
as it is. Set the ID numbers of the projector body and remote control as necessary.
For details on setting the ID number of the remote control, refer to “Setting ID number of the remote control”
(x page 81).
Note
ff Set the ID number of the projector body from the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [PROJECTOR ID].

Attention
ff The dimension of L4 is not the distance between the back surface of the projector and the wall, but the distance between the back surface of
the projector and the screen surface. Install the projector with 500 mm (19-11/16") or larger space between the back surface of the projector
and the wall or any object so that the ventilation is not obstructed.
When installing the projector in a confined space, provide air conditioning or ventilation separately. Exhaust heat may accumulate when the
ventilation is not enough, triggering the protection circuit of the projector.

ff If the operating environment temperature is low and warm-up takes more than five minutes, the projector will judge that a problem has
occurred and the power will automatically be set to standby mode. In such case, increase the operating environment temperature to 0 °C
(32 °F) or higher, turn off the main power, and then turn on the power again.
ff It will take longer to start the projection when the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [STANDBY MODE] is set to [ECO] compared to the time
when it is set to [NORMAL].
ff Projection will start in approximately one second when the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [QUICK STARTUP] is set to [ON] and if the
power is turned on within a specified time after going into the standby mode.
The specified time is the time set in the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [QUICK STARTUP] → [VALID PERIOD].
ff When the power is turned on or an input signal is switched, you may hear a high-frequency driving sound. This is not a malfunction.
ff If the power was turned off at the previous use by pressing the <OFF> side of the <MAIN POWER> switch or by using the breaker directly
while projecting, the power indicator <ON (G)/STANDBY (R)> lights up green and an image is projected after a while when the power is
turned on by pressing the <ON> side of the <MAIN POWER> switch or by turning the breaker on with the power plug connected to the
outlet. This applies only when the [PROJECTOR SETUP] menu → [INITIAL STARTUP] is set to [LAST MEMORY].

Chapter 5 Operations — Network connection
Computer
Projector
Switching hub
Twisted-pair-cable transmitter
Attention
ff When a LAN cable is directly connected to the projector, the network connection must be made indoors.
Note
ff For the LAN cable between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, use a cable that meets the following criteria:
gg Conforming to CAT5e or higher standards
gg Shielded type (including connectors)
gg Straight-through
gg Single wire
gg Diameter of the cable core is same or larger than AWG24 (AWG24, AWG23, etc.)
ff The 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. For the signal with the resolution exceeding 1 920 x 1 200 dots, the maximum transmission distance
is 50 m (164'1"). 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 these distances are exceeded, image may be disrupted or a malfunction may occur in LAN
communication.
ff When laying cables between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, confirm that cable characteristics are compatible with
CAT5e or higher using tools such as a cable tester or cable analyzer.
When a relay connector is used, include it in the measurement.
ff Do not use a switching hub between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector.
ff To transmit the Ethernet and serial control signals using the <DIGITAL LINK/LAN> terminal, set the [NETWORK] menu → [ETHERNET
TYPE] to [DIGITAL LINK] or [LAN & DIGITAL LINK].
ff To transmit the Ethernet signal using the <LAN> terminal, set the [NETWORK] menu → [ETHERNET TYPE] to [LAN] or [LAN & DIGITAL
LINK].
ff The <DIGITAL LINK/LAN> terminal and the <LAN> terminal are connected inside of the projector when the [NETWORK] menu → [ETHERNET
TYPE] is set to [LAN & DIGITAL LINK]. Do not directly connect the <DIGITAL LINK/LAN> terminal and the <LAN> terminal using a LAN
cable. Construct the system so that it is not connected to the same network via the peripherals such as the switching hub or the twisted-pair-
cable transmitter.
ff Do not pull cables forcefully. Also, do not bend or fold cables unnecessarily.
ff To 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.
ff Lay the cables between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector away from other cables, particularly power cables.
ff When laying multiple cables, run them side by side along the shortest distance possible without bundling them together.
ff After laying the cables, go to the [NETWORK] menu → [DIGITAL LINK] → [DIGITAL LINK STATUS] and confirm that the value of [SIGNAL
QUALITY] is displayed in green which indicates normal quality.
ff For twisted-pair-cable transmitters of other manufacturers of which the operation has been verified with the projector, visit the website (https://
panasonic.net/cns/projector/). Note that the verification for devices of other manufacturers has been made for the items set by Panasonic
Connect Co., Ltd., and not all the operations have been verified. For operation or performance problems caused by the devices of other
manufacturers, contact the respective manufacturers.

Attention
ff If a command is sent after the light source starts lighting, there may be a delay in response or the command may not be executed. Try
sending or receiving any command after 60 seconds.
ff When transmitting multiple commands, be sure to wait until 0.5 seconds has elapsed after receiving the response from the projector before
sending the next command. When transmitting a command which does not need a parameter, a colon (:) is not necessary.
Note
ff If a command cannot be executed, the “ER401” response is sent from the projector to the computer.
ff If an invalid parameter is sent, the “ER402” response is sent from the projector to the computer.
ff ID transmission in RS‑232C supports ZZ (ALL) and 01 to 64, as well as 0A to 0Z groups.
ff If a command is sent with an ID designated, a response will be sent to the computer only in the following cases.
gg It matches the projector ID
gg ID is designated as ALL and [RESPONSE(ID ALL)] is set to [ON]
gg ID is designated as GROUP and [RESPONSE(ID GROUP)] is set to [ON]
ff STX and ETX are character codes. STX shown in hexadecimal is 02, and ETX shown in hexadecimal is 03.
3) Set [RESPONSE(ID ALL)] to [OFF] for all other projectors set in Step 2).
3) Set [RESPONSE(ID GROUP)] to [OFF] for all other projectors set in Step 2).
Note
ff Response is not made correctly if [RESPONSE(ID ALL)] is set to [ON] in two or more projectors.
ff When setting multiple groups, set [RESPONSE(ID GROUP)] to [ON] in only one projector in each group.
Response is not made correctly if [RESPONSE(ID GROUP)] is set to [ON] in two or more projectors of the same group.
ff When using the contrast synchronization function and the shutter synchronization function, control by RS‑232C is not possible since multiple
projectors are daisy chain connected in a loop.
