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-D–
compliant[1] consumer electronic devices (such as a set-top box or DVD
player with HDMI or DVI output).
The HDMI input can accept and display VGA, SVGA, XGA, WXGA,
SXGA, 480i (60Hz), 480p (60Hz), 720p (60Hz), 1080i (60Hz), 1080p
(24Hz/30Hz/60Hz), and 4K video signal formats. For detailed signal
specications, see “HDMI™ signal formats” on page 185 and “4K
Video Support formats” on page 186.
The supported Audio formats are Linear PCM and Dolby® Digital,
sampling rate 32/44.1/ 48 kHz.
NOTE
To connect a PC to the HDMI™ input, see “Connect a computer to the TV’s
HDMI™ terminal” on page 44.
We cannot guarantee that all 4K video input through HDMI terminals will be
displayed.
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 ( ).
To display an 1080p/60Hz and 4K signal format, you will need a
High Speed HDMI cable. A conventional HDMI/DVI cable may
not work properly.
HDMI cables transfer both video and audio. Separate analog audio
cables are not required (see illustration).
