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 input is designed to accept HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital-Content Protection) program material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861-861B–compliant[1]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 1080p signals but will also accept and display 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i signals.

Note: To connect a PC to the HDMI input, see page 21.

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 (HDMI™). You should use an HDMI cable shorter than 16.4 ft (5m) for 1080p input signals.

–HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate analog audio cables are not required (see illustration).

–See “Setting the HDMI™ audio mode” (- page 34).

[1]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.
