When making connections, be sure to do the following:

• Turn off all equipment before making any connections.

• Use the proper cables for each connection.

• Insert the cable plugs properly; poor connection at the plugs may cause a malfunction or poor 

picture quality. When pulling out a cable, be sure to pull it out from the plug, not the cable 

itself.

• Refer to the operating instructions of the connected equipment.

CAUTION

Be sure to use straight-type LAN cable of up to 15 m labeled TYPE CM, and do not use an 

extension cord.

You can use a 3D Sync Transmitter separate from this unit, using an optional LAN cable (straight-

type). 

If the usage environment has interference of a continuous specific frequency, synchronization of 3D 

image signals and the 3D glasses may be lost. In this case, use a LAN cable labeled Category 7. 

When watching 3D images in an environment that has even more interference, use the internal 

transmitter.
