Connecting the PD520 to

➤

Connect your video sources to the PD520 as shown and described in the

Source Components

 

sections that follow.

HDMI Connections: The PD520 has two HDMI inputs for connecting a BD/HD-DVD/DVD player, DTV decoder, personal computer or any other device with an HDMI or DVI output. Connect such devices as shown in Figure 3-1.

Tip

Use the HDMI inputs whenever possible. This ensures the

highest video quality because the signal is carried in the

 

 

digital domain throughout the entire signal path, from source

 

component output into the display.

Note

This PD520 supports the VESA Display Data Channel (DDC)

standard. This standard provides “Plug and Play” capability;

 

 

the display and a VESA DDC-compatible computer

 

communicate their setting requirements, allowing for quick

 

and easy setup.

 

In order for Plug and Play to work correctly, you must turn on

 

the display before you turn on the connected computer.
