Introduction Connecting your TV/DVD Setting up your TV/DVD Connecting an HDMI™ or a DVI device The HDMI input on your TV receive digital audio and uncompressed digital video from an HDMI source device, or uncompressed digital video from a DVI (Digital Video Interface) source device. This input is designed to accept HDCP (High-Bandwidth DigitalContent Protection) program material in digital form from EIA/ CEA-861/861B-compliant[1] consumer electronic devices (such as a set-top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output). The HDMI input is designed for best performance with high definition video signals. They will accept and display 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i signals. NOTE: DO NOT CONNECT A PC USING THE HDMI INPUT. ALWAYS use the VGA port provided to connect a PC. To connect an HDMI device, you will need: • one HDMI cable (type A connector) 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 (5m). 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 42). 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 HDMI audio input setting to "DVI" to hear the analog audio (see page 42). 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 42). HDMI device VIDEO LAUDIOR IN HDMI OUT OUT [1] EIA/CEA-861/861B compliance covers the transmission of uncompressed digital video with highbandwidth 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 DVI device is reset properly, it is recommended that you follow these procedures: • When turning on your electronic components, turn on the TV/DVD first, and then the HDMI or DVI device. • When turning off your electronic components, turn off the HDMI or DVI device first, and then the TV/DVD. To connect a DVI device, you will need: • one HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable (HDMI type A connector) For proper operation, the length of an HDMI-to-DVI 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-DVI 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 42).
