Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Connecting a DVI/HDCP device

The DVI/HDCP1 input on your TV is designed to accept HDCP program material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861– compliant2 consumer electronic devices, such as a set-top box or DVD player with a DVI-D digital single-link output connection.3

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

Note: The DVI/HDCP input on this TV is not intended for connection to and should not be used with a PC (personal computer).

1DVI/HDCP = Digital Visual Interface/ High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection.

2EIA/CEA-861 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 source devices may not operate properly with the TV. You should confirm that the devices you want to use with the DVI/HDCP input will operate with that input

3Consult your consumer electronics dealer for availability.

You will need:

￿one pair of standard audio cables

￿one DVI-D digital single-link cable

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

￿To view the DVI/HDCP device: Select the DVI video input source.*

To ensure that the DVI/HDCP 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 DVI/HDCP device.

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

Connecting a camcorder

You will need:

￿one set of standard A/V cables

For better picture performance, if your camcorder has S-video, use an S-video cable (plus the audio cables) instead of the standard video cable. Do not connect both an S-video cable and a standard video cable to VIDEO 3 at the same time or the picture performance will be unacceptable.

￿To view the camcorder video:Select the VIDEO 3 video input source.*
