Connecting a Device with HDMI (Best)
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) technology is an uncompressed digital connec-
tion that carries both video and audio data by way of an integrated mini-plug cable. Since
HDMI technology is based on Digital Visual Interface (DVI), the jack on the back of your TV is
also compatible with devices that have a DVI output jack.
Using the example of a set-top box:
If your set-top box has an HDMI jack, connect an HDMI cable. Connect an HDMI cable to
the HDMI2/DVI INPUT jack or the HDMI1/DVI INPUT jack on the back of the TV and to the
HDMI Out jack on the back of the device.
-OR-
If your set-top box has a DVI jack, connect an HDMI cable and an HDMI/DVI adapter.
1. Connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI2/DVI INPUT jack or the HDMI1/DVI INPUT jack on
the back of the TV .
2. Attach an HDMI/DVI adapter to the end of the HDMI cable, then connect the adapter to
the DVI Out jack on the set-top box.
3. Since you’re using an HDMI/DVI adapter, you need to connect separate AUDIO cables to
the DVI AUDIO right and left jacks on the back of the TV and to the R and L AUDIO jacks
on the back of the device.
Don’t forget:
If necessary, connect
antenna or cable to get
a picture. Go to page
