Connecting an HDMIª or a DVI device to the HDMI inputs

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

These inputs are designed to accept HDCP[3] program material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861/861BÐ compliant[4] consumer electronic devices (such as a set- top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output).

[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.

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

NOTE: NEVER CONNECT THIS TV TO A

PERSONAL COMPUTER (PC). THIS TV IS NOT

INTENDED FOR USE WITH A PC.

To connect an HDMI device, you will need:

¥ one HDMI cable (type A connector)

For proper operation, it is recommended that you use a short HDMI cable. You should not encounter difficulty if you use an HDMI cable that is shorter than 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) may not output digital audio signals. In that case, you may hear sound by connecting analog audio cables. However, 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.

The Toshiba 46HMX85, 62HMX85, and 52HMX85 are a trio of high-definition LCD televisions that have garnered attention for their impressive features and advanced technologies. Designed to enhance the viewing experience, these models incorporate cutting-edge components that cater to the needs of modern consumers.

The 46HMX85 boasts a 46-inch display, while the 62HMX85 features a larger 62-inch screen, and the 52HMX85 sits comfortably in the middle with its 52-inch display. All three models deliver a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, ensuring crisp and clear images with vibrant colors. This high level of resolution is particularly beneficial for watching movies, sports, and gaming, as it allows for a more immersive viewing experience.

One of the standout technologies in these models is Toshiba's proprietary AMR (Active Motion Rate) system, which enhances motion clarity and reduces blurriness during fast-paced scenes. This is especially useful for action movies and live sports broadcasts, where quick movements can often lead to a loss of detail. Additionally, the televisions come equipped with Dynamic Picture Mode, which optimizes brightness and contrast levels based on the ambient light in the room, delivering an ideal viewing experience no matter the time of day.

Connectivity options are abundant with the Toshiba HMX85 series. Each model features multiple HDMI ports, allowing users to connect a variety of devices, such as gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, and sound systems. USB ports are also available for easy access to multimedia files stored on external drives, enabling users to play music, view photos, and watch videos directly on the television.

Another notable characteristic is the built-in 10W speakers that provide decent audio quality, although audiophiles may wish to connect an external sound system for a richer audio experience. The televisions also support various sound enhancement technologies, ensuring that dialogue remains clear and sound immersion is enhanced.

In summary, the Toshiba 46HMX85, 62HMX85, and 52HMX85 are sophisticated LCD televisions that cater to a wide range of entertainment needs.
