HDMI Functions

HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high- quality sound by connecting the TV and the equipment.

HDMI-compatible equipment (1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a set top box, a DVD player or a game equipment, can be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.

About connections, see “External Equipment” (p. 44).

Note

HDMI is the world’s first complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard. Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI1 / 3 Input” menu screen. (p. 25)

Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (2ch L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz HDMI2 terminal is for digital audio signal only.

Use with a PC is not guaranteed. Only HDMI video formats in the HDMI table (p. 48) are applicable. If the connected equipment has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to “16:9”. These HDMI connectors are “type A”.

These HDMI connectors are compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) copyright protection.

An equipment having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either “COMPONENT”, “S-VIDEO”, or “VIDEO” to receive analogue signals.

The HDMI input terminal can be used only with the following image signals:

480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. Match the output setting of the digital equipment. For details of the applicable HDMI signals, see p. 48.

DVI connection

If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI1 / 3 terminal via a DVI to HDMI adapter cable (2).

When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal (HDMI1: use AV2 IN AUDIO terminals / HDMI3: use AV3 IN AUDIO terminals).

DVI Position Settings

If the picture position is not fit to the screen during the DVI connection, adjust the position on “DVI Position Settings” in Setup Menu. The settings are memorized for each HDMI terminals and input signals.
