DTV Decoder Connection<When connecting a DTV decoder which has a copy-protect Digital-Out terminal>
By inputting a High-band with Digital Content Protection high-definition picture source to the Digital-In terminal of
this television, high-definition pictures can be displayed on the screen in their digital form. (This terminal is for use
in the future when High-band with Digital Content Protection DTV decoders and DVD players and D-VHS are put
on the market.)
1) Connect the DTV digital RGB output terminal to the INPUT-5 digital input terminal of the television, and then
tighten the 2 screws.
2) Connect the DTV decoder left audio output to the INPUT-5 left audio input.
3) Connect the DTV decoder right audio output to the INPUT-5 right audio input.
• The Digital-In terminal can only be used with 1080i and 480p picture signals. Set the DTV decode Digital-Out
terminal output setting to 1080i or 480p. For detailed information, refer to the DTV decoder instruction manual.
If you can not display the picture because your DTV decoder does not have a Digital-Out terminal output set-
ting, use the component Video Input (or the S-Video Input or Video Input). (Refer to page 15) In this case the
picture will be displayed as an analog signal.
• The Digital-In terminal is not compatible with the picture signal of a personal computer.
• Use a DVI 25-pin cable (commercially available) in order to digitally connect the television with a DTV
decoder.
• If the connection shown above is used, the DTV signal will be available on Digital-In on the INPUT MENU.
(refer to page 54).
If 480p signals (640x480 or 720x480) are displayed on the screen, the horizontal balance may be slightly shifted.
In cases such as this, the horizontal balance can be adjusted by accessing “DIGITAL-IN” in the INITIAL SETUP
Menu. (Refer to page 37.)
