HDMI (DVI) connection

The HDMI connection (High Deﬁ nition Multimedia Interface)

allows digital picture and sound transmission via a connecting

cable, e.g. from Loewe DVD Recorder Centros 2102/2172 HD.

The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without

data compression and therefore lose none of their quality. In the equipment

connected, no analogue/digital conversion is necessary, which might also have

lead to losses in quality.

DVI signals can be also be reproduced by the HDMI connection using a

DVI/HDMI adapter cable. This is possible because HDMI is based on DVI

and is downwardly compatible. That means that the digital video signals are

transmitted via HDMI - no audio signals are transmitted, though. In addition,

both use the same copy protection method HDCP.

Connect the set with an HDMI connection using an HDMI cable (type A, 19-pin)

to the HDMI socket of the TV set. Log in the HDMI connection in the connection

wizard (TV menu - Connections - New devices/modiﬁ cations).

Select the HDMI connection in the AV selection.

Call AV selection

Select HDMI/DVI socket and use ...

to call.

Start playback on the device connected with HDMI connection.

The set automatically recognises and sets the best possible format for the video.

If transmission occurs via a DVI/HDMI adapter cable, then you can feed in the

appropriate analogue audio via the audio input sockets AUDIO IN L/R on the TV

set. The sound is reproduced via the TV speakers.

If you have connected a digital external audio ampliﬁ er, you can select the

digital audio signal in the connection wizard (TV menu - Connections - New

devices/modiﬁ cations) and assign it to the HDMI/DVI socket. You can make

the other settings for the audio ampliﬁ er as described for digital ampliﬁ ers on

page 36. The digital audio signal of the DVI audio source is fed in at the AUDIO

DIGITAL IN socket on the TV. Feed the digital audio signal from the TV AUDIO

DIGITAL OUT to the external ampliﬁ er.

Set geometry: as described for the VGA/XGA connection.

VGA cable.

When connecting to a PC, ﬁ rst set one of the following screen resolutions on

your PC.

800x600 60Hz (SVGA)

1024x768 60Hz (XGA).

When a Set Top Box is connected, set the following screen resolutions according

to the options of the Set Top Box:

720x576i (PAL), 720x480i (NTSC), 720x480p (60 Hz)

720x480i, 720x 576i (SDTV – standard modi for STB) 720x576p (50 Hz)

1280x720p, 1920x1080i (HDTV modi)

Select the VGA/XGA connection in the AV selection.

Set geometry

Call the TV menu using the MENU button, select "Geometry" using  and

set:

If the picture is not positioned correctly, you can move the picture horizontally

and vertically here so that it ﬁ lls the whole screen. You can also set the phase

position so that the picture appears in the best possible quality.

Setting colour standard

Call the Picture menu using the button. Select "Colour standard" using

 and make your selection.

The colour standard for a connected PC is RGB.

In Set Top Boxes, you usually set Ycc as a colour standard. Other formats such

as Ypp or RGB can also be output. Please consult the operating instructions of

the device connected.

If the wrong standard is selected, you will recognise this by the wrong colours

in the display.
