5.2 Use HDMI Inputs
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a communication method commonly used by digital and/or
high definition equipment. Your flat panel TV’s INPUT 4, INPUT 5, INPUT 6, INPUT 7 are HDMI terminals for
incoming digital video and audio signals. The flat panel TV supports HDMI Control functions so that wh en a piece
of equipment is connected to the panel, it can control the equipment. To use an HDMI terminal, specify the types
of video and audio signals being sent from the connected equipment. For the signal types, see the operating
manual(s) that came with the equipment.
One of the benefits of using your flat panel TV to control other equipment is the support of Deep Color. Deep Color
is the color depth that describes the number of bits used to represent the color of a single pixel in a bitmapped
image. Besides the conventional RGB/YCbCr16bit/20bit/24bit signals, the flat panel TV also supports RGB/
YCbCr30bit/36bit signals. This enables finer color reproduction when a device that supports Deep Color signals
(HDMI1.3 Deep Color) is connected to the panel. The color depth appears on the InfoBanner if a program
supports Deep Color.
The flat panel TV supports the following Video signals:

Note: It may take a short period for the image to appear on the other equipment, depending on the type of device.

The flat panel TV supports the following Audio signals:
• Linear PCM (STEREO 2ch)
• Sampling frequency: 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz
When connecting a PC to one of the panel’s HDMI inputs, use an HDMI-compliant PC or video card. Using DVI
output from the PC to the flat panel TV may cause the sound or picture to fail or seem distorted. If a DVI output is
your only option then contact the PC manufacturer for assistance.
