Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Connecting an HDMI™ or DVI device to the HDMI input

The HDMI input on your TV receives digital audio and uncompressed digital video from an HDMI source device, or uncompressed digital video from a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) source device.

This input is designed to accept HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital-Content Protection) program material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861-D–compliant[1]consumer electronic devices (such as a set-top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output).

The HDMI input can accept and display VGA, 480i (60Hz), 480p (60Hz), 720p (60Hz), and 1080i (60Hz) signal formats. For detailed signal specifications, see page 60.

Supported Audio format: Linear PCM, sampling rate 32/44.1/ 48 kHz

Note: To connect a PC to the HDMI input, see page 19.

To connect an HDMI device, you will need:

one HDMI cable (type A connector) per HDMI device

For proper operation, it is recommended that you use an

HDMI cable with the HDMI Logo ( ).

To display an 1080i/60Hz signal format, you will need a Category 2 cable. Conventional HDMI/DVI cable may not work properly.

HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate analog audio cables are not required (see illustration).

See “Setting the HDMI™ audio mode” (page 32).

[1]EIA/CEA-861-D compliance covers the transmission of uncompressed digital video with high-bandwidth digital content protection, which is being standardized for reception of high- definition video signals. Because this is an evolving technology, it is possible that some devices may not operate properly with the TV.
