The HDMI input on your TV receives digital audio and uncompressed digital video from an HDMI device, or uncompressed digital video from a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) 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). Supported signal formats: VGA, SVGA, XGA, WXGA, SXGA, 480i (60Hz), 480p (60Hz), 720p (60Hz), 1080i (60Hz), and 1080p (24Hz/60Hz). For signal specifications, see p. 76.

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

Note:

•For connecting a PC to the HDMI input, see p. 20.

•Some legacy HDMI sources may not work properly with your HDMI TV due to the adoption of new standards. Try disabling the options in HDMI Settings. (- p. 41).

To connect an HDMI device, you will need:

•One HDMI cable per HDMI device

–Recommendation: For proper operation, use an

HDMI cable with the HDMI Logo ( ).

–To display an 1080p/60 Hz signal format, you need a High Speed HDMI cable. A conventional HDMI/DVI cable may not work properly.

–An HDMI cable transfers video and audio. Separate analog audio cables are not required.

To view the HDMI device video:

Press INPUT and B or b to select HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3, or HDMI 4.

Note: For programming the TV remote control to operate other devices, see p. 79.

To connect a DVI device, you will need:

•HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable

–For proper operation, the length of the HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable must not exceed 9.8 ft (3 m). Recomended length: 6.6 ft (2 m).

•3.5mm Stereo to RCA Y-Cable

–An HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable transfers video only. Separate analog audio cables are required.

Note: To ensure that the HDMI or DVI device is reset properly:

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

•When turning off 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 high-definition video signals. Because this is an evolving technology, it is possible that some devices may not operate properly with the TV.
