Connecting a DVD/Blu-Ray player or Cable Box/Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) via HDMI
This connection can only be made if there is an HDMI Output connector on the external device.
1. Connect an HDMI Cable
between the HDMI IN
(1, 2, 3 or 4) jack on
the TV and the HDMI
jack on the DVD/Blu-
Ray player or Cable
Box/Satellite receiver
(Set-Top Box).
What is HDMI?
• HDMI(High-Definition Multimedia Interface), is an interface that enables the
transmission of digital audio and video signals using a single cable.
• The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size and
has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed. DVI
also requires a separate audio connection (see below).
Each DVD/Blu-Ray player or Cable Box/Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) has a different
back panel configuration.
The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal color when
DVD/Blu-Ray players/Cable Boxes/Satellite receivers supporting HDMI versions older
than 1.3 are connected. When connecting an older HDMI cable and there is no sound,
connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI IN 2 jack and the audio cables to the DVI IN
(HDMI2) [R-AUDIO-L] jacks on the back of the TV. If this happens, contact the company
that provided the DVD/Blu-Ray player/Cable Box/Satellite receiver to confirm the HDMI
version, then request an upgrade.
HDMI cables that are not 1.3 may cause annoying flicker or no screen display.
