CONNECTING AN EQUIPMENT SOURCE 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 on the Rear panel right below gure.
With DVI output, connect the audio cables from the AUDIO 2.
OUT jack of the HDTV set top box or DVD player to the Rear
Panel INPUT 1 or 2 AUDIO jacks as shown on 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 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 nal video appearance.

CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL AUDIO AMPLIFIER
To monitor the audio level of the Plasma TV to an external
audio amplier, connect the system as shown on the right. The

with Optical IN capability.

1.
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. The picture and sound that is played
•
back will be abnormal if the connection is loose.
