To ensure that the HDMI or DVI device is reset
properly, it is recommended that you follow
these procedures:
•When turning on your electronic components,
turn on the TV first, andthen the H DMI or
DVI device.
•When turning off your electronic components,
turn off the HDMI or DVI device first, and
then theT V.
The HDMI[1] input on your TV receives digital audio
and uncompressed digital video from an HDMI
device or uncompressed digital video from a DVI[2]
device.
This input is designed to accept HDCP[3] program
material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861/861B–
compliant[4] consumer electronic devices (such as a set-
top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output).
The HDMI input is designed for best performance
with 1080i high-definition video signals, but will also
accept and display 480i, 480p, and 720p signals.
To connect an HDMI device, you will need:
• one HDMI cable (type A connector)
For proper operation, it is recommended that you
usea short H DMI cable.
HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate
analog audio cables are not required (see illustration
below). Some CDVs (Video CDs) may not output
digital audio signals. In that case, you may hear
sound by connecting analog audio cables. However, if
you connect analog audio cables with this connection,
the HDMI terminal on the TV will not receive the
HDMI digital audio signal and you will hear analog
audio only.
