Connections HDMI Connection HDMI∗1 (High Definition Multi media Interface) is the first all-digital consumer electronics A/V interface that supports uncompressed standard. The HDMI terminal supports both video and audio information. To the HDMI∗1 input terminal, you can connect an EIA/CEA-861/861B∗2 compliant consumer electronic device, such as a Set Top Box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output terminal. Input a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) high-definition picture source to this HDMI terminal, so you can display high-definition pictures on this TV in digital form. • An audio cable should be connected only when using an HDMI conversion adapter to connect with a DVI cable. • If the external device has DVI output only, use a DVI to HDMI adapter cable∗3 to connect to the HDMI terminal. • Connect the audio cables to the AUDIO IN terminals for HDMI. • Select the audio setting in HDMI In (see page 25).
