HDMI 2 also allows the TV to display DVI or HDMI output from a PC. To view PC video on the TV, you must activate the PC option in NetCommand. You can do this during initial NetCommand setup (in the Device Setup screen), or at any time afterwards by using the NetCommand Add function.
If you want audio from a PC when using PC DVI output, you must connect the PC audio output to the TV INPUT/ DVI Analog Audio 2, located above the HDMI 2 input.
8. DTV Link™/IEEE 1394
These jacks allow the TV to connect to external IEEE 1394 digital products by means of a single cable. Two jacks are provided for this purpose, which allow for a high degree of flexibility for connecting your NetCommand controlled system. Detailed information regarding IEEE 1394 connection requirements are in Chapter 4.
9. CableCARD™ Slot
The CableCARD access card from your cable TV service provider is inserted into this slot. The top of the card should face in the direction indicated by CARD TOP .
CableCARD is a nationwide standard system that allows your local cable TV provider to supply you with an
access card customized to your account. This card allows the TV to receive, decode and unscramble the premium digital channels included in your cable TV subscription without the use of a cable box. See page 23 for additional CableCARD information and activation instructions.
If your cable company is not currently offering CableCARD access cards, you will need to use a cable box provided and authorized by your local cable company to view scrambled channels.
10. Digital Audio Output
This output sends Dolby® Digital or PCM digital audio to your digital A/V surround sound receiver. Analog audio from analog channels and devices is converted by the TV to PCM digital audio. In most cases, this should be the only audio connection between the TV and your A/V receiver. If you have MP3 audio sources, however, you need to connect the TV’s analog AUDIO OUTPUT (left and right) to your A/V receiver.
