CONNECTING AN DEVICE WITH HDMI OR DVI CAPABILITY TO HDMI 1 & HDMI 2
Connect the HDMI or DVI to HDMI connection cable from the 1.
output of the HDTV set top box or DVD player to the HDMI
input as shown near the Rear panel at right.
With DVI output devices, connect a DVI to HDMI cabel to the 2.
HDMI 2 input. Connect the audio out L and R cables to DVI
Audio Input or connect the audio cables from the Audio output
jack from the HDTV set top box or DVD player to an external
audio amplier as shown to the right.
Press the INPUT button, then select HDMI 1 or 2 to view the 3.
program from the HDTV set top box or DVD player.
Completely insert the connection cord plugs when •
connecting to the rear panel jacks. If you do not, the
picture and/or sound may be abnormal.
When using a DVI to HDMI cable, connect the Audio •
Out L and R cables to an external audio amplier.
The HDMI input on HDMI 1, 2, 3 and 4 contains •
the copy protection system called High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection (HDCP). HDCP is a
cryptographic system that encrypts video signals
when using HDMI connections to prevent illegal
copying of video contents.
HDMI is not a “NETWORK” technology. It establishes •
a one-way, point-to-point connection for delivery of
uncompressed video to a display.
The connected digital output device controls the •
HDMI interface, so proper set-up of device user
settings determines nal video appearance.
Only HDMI 2 can support DVI audio input.•
NOTES
CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL AUDIO AMPLIFIER
To monitor the audio level of the LCD TV to an external audio
amplier, connect the system as shown on the right. The DIGITAL
OUT and AUDIO OUT from the Rear Panel is a xed output. The
Volume of the amplier is controlled by the amplier, not by the
LCD Television.
The DIGITAL OUT jack outputs all audio sources to device with
Optical IN capability.
Connect an optical cable from the DIGITAL OUT to the 1.
OPTICAL IN of a separate Stereo System Amplier as shown
on the Rear Panel on the right.
Connect an RCA stereo cable from the AUDIO OUT to the 2.
Audio input of a separate Stereo System Amplier as shown
on the Rear Panel on the right.
Completely insert the connection cord plugs when connecting to rear panel jacks. If you do not, the picture and/or sound •
may be abnormal.
