Connecting an HDMI™ or DVI
device to the HDMI input
The HDMI input on your television receives digital
audio and uncompressed digital video from an
HDMI source device, or uncompressed digital video
from a DVI (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-D–compliant
devices (such as a set-top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI
output). For acceptable video signal formats, see page 47.

with your television. See page 36.
