HDMI (high-defi nition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-defi nition 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 or a DVD player, can be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.

•HDMI is the world's fi rst complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard.

•If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI1 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.

•Audio settings can be made on the "HDMI1 input" menu screen. (p. 16)
