Chapter 2: Connecting your Monitor

Connecting an HDMI™ or DVI device to the HDMI input

The HDMI input on your monitor receives digital audio and uncompressed digital video from an HDMI source device, or uncompressed digital video from a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) source device.

This input is designed to accept HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital-Content Protection) program material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861-861B–compliant[1]consumer electronic devices (such as a set-top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output).

The HDMI input is designed for best performance with 1080i signals but will also accept and display 480i, 480p and 720p signals.

NOTE: DO NOT CONNECT A PC USING THE HDMI PORT. Always use the monitor’s PC IN (VGA) port to connect a PC.

•The HDMI port is not designed to support input from a PC.

•Only monitor models that include a PC IN (VGA) port are suitable for connection to a PC.

HDMI device connection

To connect an HDMI device, you will need:

•one HDMI cable (type A connector) per HDMI device

–For proper operation, it is recommended that you use as short an HDMI cable as possible. You should not encounter difficulty if you use an HDMI cable shorter than 16.4 ft (5m).

–HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate analog audio cables are not required (see illustration).

–See “Setting the HDMI™ audio mode” on page 24.

•one HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable (HDMI type A connector) per DVI device

–For proper operation, the length of an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable should not exceed 9.8 ft (3m). The recommended length is 6.6 ft (2m).

•one pair of standard analog audio cables per DVI device

–An HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable transfers video only. Separate analog audio cables are required (see illustration).

Note: To ensure that the HDMI or DVI device is reset properly, it is recommended that you follow these procedures:

•When turning on your electronic components, turn on the monitor first, and then the HDMI or DVI device.

•When turning off your electronic components, turn off the HDMI or DVI device first, and then the monitor.

[1]EIA/CEA-861-861B compliance covers the transmission of uncompressed digital video with high-bandwidth digital content protection, which is being standardized for reception of high- definition video signals. Because this is an evolving technology, it is possible that some devices may not operate properly with the monitor.
