Operating additional equipment
HDMI (DVI) connection
The HDMI connection (High Definiton Multimedia Interface) allows digital picture and sound transmission via a connecting cable, e.g. from DVD players. The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without data compression and therefore lose none of their quality. No analog/digital conversion is necessary in the connected equipment which also led to losses in quality.
DVI signals can be also be reproduced by the HDMI connection using a DVI/HDMI adapter cable. This is possible because HDMI is based on DVI and is downward compatible. That means that the digital video signals are transmitted via HDMI. In addition both use the same copy protection method HDCP.
Connect the set with an HDMI connection with an HDMI cable (type A,

The best possible formats for picture and sound are detected and set automatically.
No sound is transmitted when a DVI/HDMI adapter cable is used for transmission. You can feed in the appropriate analog sound via the audio input sockets AUDIO IN L/R on the TV set. The sound is played over the TV loudspeakers.
If you have connected a digital external audio amplifier, you can select the digitla audio signal in the connection wizard (TV menu - Connections
-New devices/changes) and assign it to the HDMI/DVI socket. You do the other settings for the audio amplifier as described for the digital amplifier on page 25. The digital audio signal of the DVI audio source is fed in at the AUDIO DIGITAL IN socket on the TV. The digital audio signal from the TV AUDIO DIGITAL OUT is fed to the amplifier.
VGA/XGA connection
You can connect a PC or a Set Top Box (STB) and therefore use the TV screen as an output device.
Connect the PC/STB with a VGA cable to the VGA/XGA socket on the TV. When connecting to a PC you set one of the following screen resolutions on your PC first. 800x600 60Hz (SVGA) and 1024x768 60Hz (XGA).
When a Set Top Box is connected you set the following screen resolutions according to the possibilities of the Set Top Box:
698x576i (PAL), 698x480i (NTSC)
720x480i, 720x 576i (SDTV - standard modes in STB) 1280x720p, 1920x1080i (HDTV modes)
Select the VGA/XGA connection in the AV selection.
