Technical Information
HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high-quality
sound by connecting the TV unit and the devices.
HDMI-compatible equipment (*1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a set top box or a DVD player, can be
connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.
•
HDMI is the world's first complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard.
•
If the external device has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI terminal via a DVI to HDMI adapter cable (*2).
•
When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal.
•
Audio settings can be made on the "HDMI1 in", "HDMI2 in" or "HDMI3 in" menu screen. (p. 28)
Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz
Caution
•
Use with a PC is not assumed.
•
All signal is reformatted before being displayed on the screen.
•
If the connected device has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to "16:9".
•
This HDMI connector is "type A".
•
A device having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either "COMPONENT", "S
VIDEO", or "VIDEO" to receive analog signals.
•
The HDMI input terminal can be used with only the following image signals: 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p.
Match the output setting of the digital device.
•
