HDMI Connections: The PD520 has two HDMI inputs for connecting a BD/HD-DVD/DVD player, DTV decoder, personal computer or any other device with an HDMI or DVI output. Connect such devices as shown in Figure 3-1.

Tip	Use the HDMI inputs whenever possible. This ensures the
	highest video quality because the signal is carried in the
	digital domain throughout the entire signal path, from source
	component output into the display.
Note	This PD520 supports the VESA Display Data Channel (DDC)
	standard. This standard provides “Plug and Play” capability;
	the display and a VESA DDC-compatible computer
	communicate their setting requirements, allowing for quick
	and easy setup.
	In order for Plug and Play to work correctly, you must turn on
	the display before you turn on the connected computer.
