Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Connecting an HDMIor 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-861-861B–compliant[1]consumer electronic devices (such as a set-top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output).

The following signal formats can be displayed:

Note: To connect a PC to the HDMI input, see page 16.

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 ( ). You should use an HDMI cable shorter than 16.4 ft (5m) for 1080p input signals.

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

See “Setting the HDMIaudio mode” on page 29.

To connect a DVI device, you will need:

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).

See “Setting the HDMIaudio mode” on page 29.
