• If your
display is not compatible with HDMI,
use a component cable (Page 23). Since

using a component cable, connect an
amplifier/active speaker. (Page 23)

Connect the Boundary Microphone to the MIC jack
on the back of the KX-VC500 using the proprietary

cable until it clicks. If the connector does not
click, try reconnecting the cable with the top and
bottom of the connector reversed.
General-purpose microphone

the back of the KX-VC500 using the stereo pin plug
cable (D) after amplifying the signal to line level
using a device such as a microphone amplifier.
• Connect the microphone correctly, as follows:
– Left channel ® L
– Right channel ® R
Note
• When connecting both the Boundary
Microphone and a general
-purpose
microphone,
both microphones can be used
simultaneously.
4. Connect to the network.
• Connect a router to the LAN jack on the back of
the KX-VC500 using a category 5 or greater
LAN cable (E).
Note
• Set the hub/router to Auto Negotiation

is necessary to change the system setting.
For details, contact your dealer.
• Do not connect to a hub/router set to Half
Duplex.
