Chapter 2: Connecting your TV Connecting an HDMI® or DVI device to the HDMI input The HDMI input on your TV receives digital audio and uncompressed digital video from an HDMI source device, or uncompressed digital video from a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) source device. This input is designed to accept HDCP (HighBandwidth Digital-Content Protection) program material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861-D- compliant[1] consumer electronic devices (such as a set-top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output). The HDMI input can accept and display VGA, SVGA, XGA, WXGA, SXGA, 480i (60Hz), 480p (60Hz), 720p (60Hz), 1080i (60Hz), and 1080p (24Hz/60Hz) signal formats. For detailed signal specifications, see page 76. Supported Audio format: Linear PCM, sampling rate 32/44.1/ 48 kHz Note: •• To connect a PC to the HDMI input, see page 20. •• Some legacy HDMI sources may not work properly with your HDMI TV due to the adoption of new standards. Try setting the following options (INSTAPORT™ and RGB Range) to Off ( page 42). To connect an HDMI device, you will need: • HDMI cable (type A connector) per HDMI device −− For proper operation, it is recommended that you use an HDMI cable with the HDMI Logo ( ). −− To display an 1080i/60Hz signal format, you will need a High Speed HDMI cable.

[1] EIA/CEA-861-D compliance covers the transmission of uncompressed digital video with high-bandwidth 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. HDMI device HDMI cable 18
