Connecting
an HDMI TMor DVl device
The HDMI (High-Definition
Multimedia Interface) input on
your TV receives digital audio and uncompressed
digital
video from an HDMI source device, or uncompressed
digital video from a DVl (Digital Visual Interface) source
device.
This input is designed to accept HDCP (High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection) program material in digital form
from EIA/CEA-861/861 B-compliant [1Iconsumer electronic
devices (such as a set-top box or DVD player with HDMI or
DVl output).
The HDMI input is designed for best performance with high
definition video signals. It will accept and display 480i,
480p, 720p and 1080i signals.
NEVER CONNECT THiS TV TO A PERSONAL
COMPUTER (PC). This TV is not intended for
use with a PC.
To connect
an HDMI device, you will need:
• one HDMI cable (type Aconnector)
For proper operation, it is recommended
that you use
as short an HDMI cable as possible.
You should not
encounter difficulty if you use an HDMI cable that is
shorter than 16.4 ft (Sm).
HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate
analog audio cables are not required (see illustration
below).
You must set the HDMI audio input setting
to
"HDMI" in the AUDIO menu (see page 38).
Some CDVs (Video CDs) may not output digital audio
signals. In that case, you may hear sound by connecting
analog audio cables. If you do use analog audio cables for
this reason, you will need to set the HDM/ audio input
setting to "DV/" to hear the analog audio (see page 38).
Note: If you connect an HDMI device and analog audio
cables and play media with digital audio output, to hear
digital audio you must set the HDMI audio input setting
to "HDMI" (page 38).

Back panel of TV
[1] EIA/CEA-861/861B
compliance covers the
transmission of uncompressed
digital video with high-
bandwidth digital content protection, which is being
standardized for reception of high-definition
video
signals. Because this is an evolving
technology,
it
is possible
that some devices
may not operate
properly
with the TV
To ensure that the HDMI or DW device is reset
properly, it is recommended
that you follow these
procedures:
• When turning on your electronic components, turn
on the TV first, and then the HDMI or DW device.
• When turning offyour
electronic components, turn
off the HDM! or DVI device first, and then the TV.
To connect
a DVl device, you will need:
one HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable
(HDMI type A connector)
For proper operation, the length of an HDMI-to-DW
adapter cable should not exceed 9.8 ft (3m). The
recommended
length is 6.6 ft (2m).
one pair of standard analog audio cables
An HDMI-to-DW adapter cable transfers only video.
Separate analog audio cables are required (see
illustration below).
You must set the HDMI audio input setting
to
"DVI" in the AUDIO menu (see page 38).
