DVI also requires a separate audio connection (see below). ➣ Each DVD/Blu-Ray player or Cable Box/Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) has a different back panel configuration. ➣ The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal color when DVD/Blu-Ray players/Cable Boxes/Satellite receivers supporting HDMI versions older than 1.3 are connected. When connecting an older HDMI cable and there is no sound, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI IN 2 jack and the audio cables to the DVI IN (HDMI2) [R-AUDIO-L] jacks on the back of the TV. If this happens, contact the company that provided the DVD/Blu-Ray player/Cable Box/Satellite receiver to confirm the HDMI version, then request an upgrade. ➣ HDMI cables that are not 1.3 may cause annoying flicker or no screen display.
