CONNECTING A COMPONENT SOURCE WITH HDMI OR
DVI CAPABILITY TO HDMI 1, HDMI 2 OR HDMI FRONT
1. Connect the HDMI or DVI to HDMI connection
cable from the output of the HDTV set top box
or DVD player to the HDMI
input as shown
on the Rear panel below.
2. With DVI output, connect the cable from the
AUDIO OUT R of the HDTV set top box or DVD
player to the INPUT (AUDIO/R) jack as shown on
the Rear Panel below.
3. With DVI output, connect the cable from the
AUDIO OUT L of the HDTV set top box or DVD
player to the INPUT (AUDIO/L) jack as shown
on the Rear Panel below.
4. Press the INPUTS button, then select HDMI 1, 2
or FRONT to view the program from the HDTV
SET TOP BOX or DVD player.
5. Select CABLE or AIR from the INPUTS menu to
return to the last channel viewed.
NOTE: 1. Completely insert the connection cord
plugs when connecting to rear panel jacks.
The picture and sound that is played back
will be abnormal if the connection is loose.
2. The HDMI input on HDMI 1 , 2 and FRONT
contains the copy protection system called
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP). HDCP is a cryptographic system
that encrypts video signals when using
HDMI connections to prevent illegal
copying of video contents.
3. HDMI is not a “NETWORK” technology. It
establishes a one-way point-to-point
connection for delivery of uncompressed
video to a display.
4. The connected digital output device
controls the HDMI interface so proper set-up
of device user settings determines final
video appearance.
5. When using a DVI to HDMI cable, connect the
Audio Out L and R cables at the same INPUT
(1 , 2 or Front) as your HDMI INPUT(1 , 2 or Front).
(For FRONT INPUT see page 15 for reference).
