About connections, see “External Equipment” (p. 38).

•HDMI is the world’s first complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard.

•If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI1 / 3 terminal via a DVI to HDMI adapter cable (∗2).

•When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal (HDMI1: use AV2 IN AUDIO terminals / HDMI3: use AV4 IN AUDIO terminals).

•Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI1 / 3 Input” menu screen. (p. 22)

•Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (2ch L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz

•Use with a PC is not assumed.

•If the connected equipment has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to “16:9”.

•These HDMI connectors are “type A”.

•These HDMI connectors are compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) copyright protection.
