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 TV is able to connect with HDMI devices. But it is possible that same HDMI devices may not operate properly with this TV.

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 1 input can accept and display VGA, SVGA, XGA, 480i (60Hz), 480p (60Hz), 720p (60Hz), and 1080i (60Hz) signal formats. For detailed signal specifications, see page 49.

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).

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).

one pair of standard analog audio cables per DVI device

An HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable transfers video only. Separate analog audio cables are required (see illustration).

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.

[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 highdefinition video signals. Because this is an evolving technology, it is possible that some devices may not operate properly with the TV.
