•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 HDMI 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.

•Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI 1 in” or “HDMI 2 in” menu screen. (p. 28) Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz
