Operating additional equipment
Connecting devices to the HDMI (DVI) connections and playback
The HDMI connections (High Definition Multimedia In- terface) permit digital video and audio transmission via a connection cable from a player, e.g. from the Loewe
ViewVision DVD recorder.
The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without data compres- sion and therefore lose none of their quality.
Using a DVI/HDMI adapter cable, the digital video signals of a DVI player can also be played via the compatible HDMI connection. The sound must be fed in additionally.
HDMI and DVI both use the same copy protection method HDCP.
Connecting the device
Connect the device by an HDMI cable (type A, 19 pole) to the HDMI1/DVI or HDMI2/DVI socket of the TV set.
If a DVI/HDMI adapter cable is used, the appropriate sound can be fed in via the audio input socket AUDIO IN1 (analogue) or AUDIO DIGITAL IN (digital) on the TV set. See also page 47.
It is not necessary to log in HDMI devices in the connection wizard.

Digital Link HD in appropriately equipped HDMI devices
As long as HDMI is selected as a memory location, all remote control commands which the connected HDMI unit can handle are passed on to it. Volume, Sound on/off, Sound adaptation and Picture format affect the operation of the TV set. The HDMI unit can therefore be installed in a concealed position and still be operated.
Switch back to TV mode to the station last viewed with the TV button. Switch Digital Link HD on/off temporarily: Press the TV button for a little longer (approx. 1 second).
TV remote switch on via HDMI
In the TV menu under Connections → Miscellaneous → Remote TV switch on via HDMI you can define that the TV set switches on automatically from standby when a connected HDMI device displays a menu or a disk is inserted.
