HDMI Device

Figure 11
An HDMI-to- HDMI cable is required. This is not included with
the TV. It may be available at your local electronics retailer.

You can connect two HDMI devices to the TV back panel

through the HDMI connections. HDMI devices provide

video and audio through this cable, so each device

requires only one HDMI cable, no other connection is

required.

DVI Device

Figure 12
A DVI-to-HDMI cable or DVI/HDMI adaptor and HDMI cable
and audio cables are required. These are not included with the
TV. They may be available at your local electronics retailer.

1. Connect the DVI-to-HDMI cable (recommended) (or

DVI/HDMI adaptor with an HDMI cable) from the DVI

device’s back panel to the HDMI 1 or 2 connection on

the TV back panel.

NOTE: If you are using a DVI/HDMI adaptor, it is

important to connect the adaptor to the DVI side for

best performance.

2. Connect a set of audio cables from AUDIO OUT on

the DVI device back panel to the DVI Analog Audio

INPUT 1 or 2 on the TV back panel. The red cable

connects to the R (right) channel, and the white cable

connects to the L (left) channel.

NOTE: The HDMI connection supports copy protection

(HDCP). Some devices require connecting to

an analog input first, in order to view on-screen

menus and select HDMI/DVI as the ouput. Please

review your equipment instructions for HDMI/DVI

connectivity and compatibility.
