[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.
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, SVGA, XGA, WXGA, SXGA, 480i (60 Hz),
480p (60 Hz), 720p (60 Hz), 1080i (60 Hz), and
1080p (24 Hz / 30 Hz / 60 Hz) signal formats. For
detailed signal specifications, see page 75. Supported
Audio format: Linear PCM, sampling rate 32/44.1/48
kHz.
Note: To connect a PC to the HDMI input, see
page 20.
To connect an HDMI device, you will need:
• One HDMI cable per HDMI device
− For proper operation, it is recommended that
you use an HDMI cable with the HDMI Logo
( )
− To display a 1080p/60 Hz signal format,
you will need a High Speed HDMI 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).
