Using HDMI Input

The INPUT 4, INPUT 5, INPUT 6, INPUT 7 terminals are HDMI terminals to which digital video and audio signals can be input. To use the HDMI terminal, specify the types of video and audio signals to be received from the connected equipment. For the types of these signals, see the operation manual that came with the connected equipment.

Before starting the menu, press INPUT 4, INPUT 5, INPUT 6 or INPUT 7 on the remote control unit or press INPUT on the plasma display to select “INPUT 4”, “INPUT 5”, “INPUT 6” or “INPUT 7”.

For audio, the system supports the following:

Linear PCM (STEREO 2ch)

Sampling frequency: 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz

HDMI Control supported

The plasma display supports the HDMI Control functions. By connecting devices that support the HDMI Control functions to the plasma display, you can control the connected device(s) from the plasma display or remote control unit of the plasma display. See Using the HDMI Control on Chapter 13.

Deep Color supported

Deep Color means 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/YCbCr16 bit/20 bit/24 bit signals, the plasma display also supports RGB/YCbCr30 bit/36 bit signals. This enables finer, minute color reproduction when a device that supports Deep Color signals (HDMI1.3) is connected to the plasma display. When Deep Color signals are received, the color depth appears on the channel display.

Note

It may take a short while until the image is displayed, depending on the equipment connected.

When connecting a PC to the HDMI terminal, use the HDMI compliant PC or video card.

When connecting a PC to the HDMI terminal using a DVI output terminal, the plasma display may not display properly. If that is the case, consult with your PC manufacturer.

PC picture and/or sound may not be displayed or heard properly depending on the PC used.
