Connecting a DVD/Blu-Ray player/Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) via HDMI
HDMI enables you to view HD (High Denition) content. This connection can only be made if there is an HDMI Output
connector on the external device.
1. Connect an HDMI Cable
between the HDMI IN
(1, 2 or 3) jack on the
TV and the HDMI jack
on the DVD/Blu-Ray
player/Satellite receiver
(Set-Top Box).
What is HDMI?
• HDMI(High-Denition Multimedia Interface), is an interface that enables the
transmission of digital audio and video signals using a single cable.
• The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size and
has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed.
Each DVD/Blu-Ray player/Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) has a different back panel
conguration.
The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal color
when DVD players/Satellite receivers supporting HDMI versions older than 1.3 are
connected. When connecting an older HDMI cable and there is no sound, connect the
HDMI cable to the HDMI IN 2 jack and the audio cables to the DVI IN (HDMI2)
[R-AUDIO-L] jacks on the back of the TV. If this happens, contact the company that
provided the DVD player/Satellite receiver to conrm the HDMI version, then request an
upgrade.
HDMI cables that are not 1.3 may cause annoying icker or no screen display.
