bruce Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 If I were being pedantic, I'd say it's neither - it's not carrying audio signals, so the terms "mono" and "stereo" are not appropriate. You need a 2-core screened connection, connected to 3.5mm TRS jacks. Max cable length 15m. Probably better to use an overall screened cable, rather than side-by-side "shotgun" cable, as commonly used for unbalanced stereo audio. Some might call this a "stereo" cable.

Umm yes, sorry I didn't realise I needed to be politically correct. And yes your right it's not carrying audio. TS or TRS I should have said.... Anyway thanks for answering. I did look it up in the manual and couldn't find it. I have always used TRS via an XLR to run down looms etc. The reason for asking was that I have a bag of TS 3.5mm Jacks and wondered if the projector remote used all 3 pins. Interesting you say 15M max, I have used it on longer runs, I guess having a good cable between helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHYoung Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 got no idea where 15m comes from, ours work fine over 100m on normal 3pin XLR data cables {with jumps} and yes its a 3 wire or stereo connection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think a good set of batteries helps also. thanks for the replies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 got no idea where 15m comes from, From the manual for the D6000 series. See page 15 of ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/pub/Panasonic/business/projectors/manuals/D6Series_operatinginstructions.pdf No doubt it'll work over longer distances, but that's the manufacturer's recommendation.

I was looking in the D10000 and 5700 manuals....it's not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
