Connecting an HDMI™ or DVI device to the HDMI input

The HDMI input on your TV 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-D–compliant[1]consumer electronic devices (such as a set-top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output).

The HDMI input can accept and display VGA, 480i (60Hz), 480p (60Hz), 720p (60Hz), 1080i (60Hz), and 1080p (24Hz/ 60Hz) signal formats. For detailed signal specifications, see page 75.

Supported Audio format: Linear PCM, sampling rate 32/44.1/ 48 kHz

Note: To connect a PC to the HDMI input, see page 22.

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 an

HDMI cable with the HDMI Logo ( ).

–To display an 1080p/60Hz signal format, you will need a Category 2 cable. Conventional HDMI/DVI cable may not work properly.

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

–See “Setting the HDMI™ audio mode” (- page 43).

[1]EIA/CEA-861-D 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 TV.
