About HDMI

HDMI is the next-generation all digital interface for consumer electronics. HDMI enables the secure distribution of uncompressed high-definition video and multi-channel audio in a single cable. Because digital television (DTV) signals remain in digital format, HDMI assures that pristine high-definition images retain the highest video quality from the source all the way to your television screen.

Use the HDMI input for your external devices such as Set-Top-Boxes or DVD players equipped with an HDMI output connection.

NOTES: 1. The HDMI input is not intended for use with personal computers.

2. Only DTV formats such as 1080i, 720p, 480i and 480p are available for HDMI input.

RS232C Input

For use with third party home Audio/Video control systems which are commercially available. Please see your dealer regarding these “non Hitachi” home control systems (see page 61 to activate this input).

TV AS CENTER (INPUTS 1-4)

These jacks are for stereo amplifiers with center signal output capability. This feature allows the TV speakers to be used as a center speaker. The TV must be set as a center channel by selecting “TV as Center” on the Internal Speakers Settings of the Audio Menu (see page 42).
