The HDMI[1] input on your TV receives uncompressed digital video and audio from an HDMI device or uncompressed video from a DVI[2] device.

This input is designed to accept HDCP[3] program material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861/861B– compliant[4] consumer electronic devices (such as a set- top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output[5]).

The HDMI input is designed for best performance with 1080i high-definition video signals, but will also accept and display 480i, 480p, and 720p signals.

Note: This TV is not intended for connection to and should not be used with a PC (personal computer).

To connect an HDMI device, you will need:

• one HDMI cable (type A connector)

For proper operation, the length of an HDMI cable should not exceed 16.4 ft (5m).

HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate analog audio cables are not required (see illustration below). Some CDVs (video CDs) do not output digital audio signals and may require separate analog audio cables. If you connect analog audio cables with this connection, the HDMI terminal on the TV will not receive the HDMI digital audio signal and you will hear analog audio only.

[1]HDMI = High-Definition Multimedia Interface.

[2]DVI = Digital Video Interface.

[3]HDCP = High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection.

[4]EIA/CEA-861/861B 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. You should confirm that the device you want to connect to the HDMI input will operate with the input by testing the device with the TV.

[5]Consult your consumer electronics dealer for availability.

To ensure that the HDMI or DVI device is reset properly, it is recommended that you follow these procedures:

When turning on your electronic components, turn on the TV first, and then the HDMI or DVI device.

When turning off your electronic components, turn off the HDMI or DVI device first, and then the TV.

To connect a DVI device, you will need:

one HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable (HDMI type A connector)

For proper operation, the length of an HDMI-to- DVI adapter cable should not exceed 9.8 ft (3m). The recommended length is 6.6 ft (2m).
