Connecting an HDMI or DVI device to the

HDMI input

The HDMI input on the television 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) programme 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). For acceptable signal formats, see page 11.

NOTE: Some early HDMI equipment may not work properly with the latest HDMI TV, due to the adoption of a new standard. Please unplug the HDMI cable first and then try setting the options in HDMI Settings to Off. See page 51.

Supported Audio format: Linear PCM, sampling rate 32/44.1/48kHz.

Connecting an HDMI Ddevice

Connect an HDMI cable (type A connector) to the HDMI terminal. For proper operation, it is recommended that an

HDMI cable with the HDMI Logo ( ) is used.

If the HDMI connection is capable of 1080p and/or the television is capable of refresh rates greater than 60Hz, a Category 2 cable will be required. Conventional HDMI/DVI cable may not work properly with this mode.

HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate analogue audio cables are not required. See “HDMI1 Audio” on page 51.

NOTE: To ensure that the HDMI or DVI device is reset properly, it is recommended that these procedures are followed:

When switching on electronic components, switch on the television first and then the HDMI or DVI device. To switch off, first switch off the HDMI or DVI device and then the television.

[1]EIA/CEA-861-D compliance covers the transmission of uncompressed digital video with high-bandwidth digital content protection, which is being standardised 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 television.
