HDMI connection

Connecting external devices

The HDMI connections (High Definition Multimedia

Interface) permit digital video and audio transmission

via a connection cable from a player/recorder. The

digital picture and sound data are transmitted without

data compression and therefore lose none of their

quality. Analogue/digital conversion is no longer

necessary in the connected devices, which also would

result in quality losses.

DVI/HDMI conversion

Using an DVI/HDMI adapter cable, the digital video

signals of a DVD can also be played via the compatible

HDMI connection. The sound must be fed in

additionally.

Both HDMI and DVI use the same HDCP copy

protection method.

NOTE

•

If a connected HDMI device is AQUOS LINK compatible, you

can take advantage of versatile functions. (Pages 20 - 22)

• Video noise may occur depending on the type of HDMI

cable used. Make sure to use certified HDMI cable.

• When playing the HDMI image, the best possible format for

the picture will be detected and set automatically.

Supported video signal:

576i, 576p, 480i, 480p, 1080i, 720p, 1080p

See page 36 for PC signal compatibility.

You will enjoy accurate colour reproduction and

high quality images through the EXT 8 terminal

when connecting a DVD recorder or other recording

equipment.
