Procedure

1 Connect the HDMI output on the DVD Recorder or Set Top Box, etc., to the HDMI input on the back of the unit.

If you cannot display the picture because your Digital Set Top Box does not have a Digital Out terminal setting, use the Component Video Input (or the S-Video Input or Video Input). In this case, the picture will be displayed as an analog signal.

2 Press TV/VIDEO to select HDMI input.

By inputting a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection high-definition picture source to the HDMI IN terminal of this Projection Display, high-definition pictures can be displayed on the screen in their digital form. (This terminal is for use with HDMI equipped DVD players, Set top boxes and D-VHS machines.)

Notes:

Select the HDMI input position by pressing the TV/VIDEO button. (p. 32)

The HDMI IN terminal can only be used with 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i picture signals.

If there is no audio, check if the source equipment has PCM output. If not, please use analog connections.

Be sure HDMI is securely connected. If not, picture noise and/or incorrect picture display may result.

With HDMI connection, depending on the signal, the picture may be displayed with unnatural colors (as if red and blue are reversed). Refer to “Color corr.” on page 39.

If the external device has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI terminal via a DVI to HDMI adaptor cable*1.

When the DVI to HDMI adaptor cable*1 is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal.

*1 Enquire at your local digital device retailer shop.

Getting Started

About HDMI

HDMI is the first all digital consumer electronics A/V interface that supports several uncompressed standards, enhanced and high definition video formats as well as all existing multi-channel audio formats. One jack supports both video and audio information. The HDMI/HDCP*1 input can be connected to an EIA/CEA 861/861B*2 compliant consumer electronic device, such as a set top box or DVD player equipped with a HDMI output connection. By inputting a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) high definition picture source to the HDMI terminal of this unit, high definition pictures can be displayed on the screen in their digital form. The HDMI input terminal is not intended to be used with personal computers. This unit is compatible with 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i formats. Select the output of the connected device to match that of the unit.

Notes:

*1 HDMI/HDCP = High Definition Multimedia Interface / High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection.

*2 EIA/CEA-861/861B Profiles compliance covers profiles for transmission of uncompressed digital video including high bandwidth digital content protection.
