The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size, has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed, and supports multi-channel digital audio. ➢ Each DVD Player/Cable/Satellite Box (Set-Top Box) has a different back panel configuration. ➢ When connecting a DVD Player/Cable/Satellite Box (Set-Top Box), match the color of the connection terminal to the cable. ➢ When connecting via HDMI, you do not need to connect Audio Cables. You only need to connect Audio cables when connecting via HDMI/DVI. ➢ The TV may not output sound when DVD Players/Cable Boxes/Satellite receivers that support older HDMI versions than 1.3 are connected. If you connect an older version HDMI cable and do not hear sound, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI3/DVI IN jack and audio cables to DVI IN [R-AUDIO-L] jacks on TV's back panel. ➢ HDMI cables that are not 1.3 may cause annoying flicker or no screen display.
