HDMI Connection

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high quality sound by connecting the TV and the equipment.

HDMI-compatible equipment (*1) with a HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a set top box or a DVD player, can be connected to the HDMI terminal using a HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable. About connections see “External Equipment” on page 23.

Note

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 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 AUDIO IN terminals).

Audio setting can be made on the “HDMI1 Input” menu screen.

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

HDMI2 terminal is for digital audio signal only.

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”.

An equipment having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either “Component”, “S-VIDEO”, or “Video” to receive analogue signals.

The HDMI input terminal can be used with only following image signals : 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p and 1080i. Match the output setting of the digital equipment.

For details of the applicable HDMI signals, see page 27.

(*1) : The HDMI logo is displayed on an HDMI-compliant equipment.

(*2) : Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.
