How to connect the HDMI Input terminals
HDMI (High Definition Multi media Interface) is the first all-digital consumer electronics A/V interface that supports
uncompressed standard. The HDMI terminal supports both video and audio information.
An HDMI-compliant device*1 such as a Set Top Box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output terminal can be
connected to the HDMI input terminal.
Notes:
• This input terminal is not intended for use with computers.
• 720p/1080i signals will be re-formatted to view on your display.
•If the external devices have the aspect adjustment, set to 16:9.
•For applicable HDMI signals information see page 37.
• If the external device has DVI output only, use a DVI to HDMI adapter cable*2 to connect to the HDMI terminal.
• Connect the audio cables to the AUDIO IN terminals when using a DVI to HDMI adapter cable.
• Select the audio setting in HDMI input. See page 18.
Notes:
• This HDMI connector is Type A.
• If you connect equipment without a digital output terminal, connect to the COMPONENT, S VIDEO or VIDEO input
terminal on the TV so you can receive an analogue signal.
•The HDMI IN terminal can only be used with 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p or 1080i picture signals. Set the Digital
Set Top Box DIGITAL OUT terminal output setting to 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p or 1080i. For detailed information,
refer to the Digital Set Top Box instruction manual. If you cannot display the picture because your Digital Set Top
Box does not have a DIGITAL OUT terminal output setting, use the component input (or the S Video input or
Video input). In this case the picture will be displayed as an analogue signal.
