Hitachi P50A402, P42A202 DVI to Hdmi Input, Connecting AN External Audio Amplifier

Rear Panel Connections

CONNECTING AN EQUIPMENT SOURCE WITH HDMI OR DVI CAPABILITY TO HDMI 1, HDMI 2

1.Connect the HDMI or DVI to HDMI connection cable from the output of the HDTV set top box or DVD player to the HDMI input as shown on the Rear panel at right.

2.With DVI output, connect the audio cables from the AUDIO OUT jack of the HDTV set top box or DVD player to the Rear Panel INPUT 1 or 2 AUDIO jacks as shown right below.

3.Press the INPUT button, then select HDMI 1 or 2 to view the program from the HDTV SET-TOP BOX or DVD player.

NOTES • Completely insert the connection cord plugs when connecting to rear panel jacks. The picture and sound that is played back will be abnormal if the connection is loose.

•When using a DVI to HDMI cable, connect the Audio Out L and R cables at the same input (1, 2) as your

HDMI input (1, 2).

•The HDMI input on HDMI 1, 2 and 3 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 final video appearance.
