Connecting an HDMITM or a DVI device to the HDMI input

Introduction

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

This input is 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).

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: 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 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.

[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.

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).

¥ one pair of standard analog audio cables

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