Chapter 2: Connecting ]p)ur TV
Connecting an HOMI" or a DVI device to the HOMI input
The HDMh^^ input on your TV receives digital audio and
uncompressed digital video from an HDMI device or
uncompressed digital video from a
device.
This input is designed to accept HDCP^^^ program material in
digital form from EIA/CEA-861/86IB-compliantconsumer
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 720p
signals but it will also accept and display 1080i, 480i, and 480p
signals.
HDMI = High-Definition Multimedia Interface.
[ 2 ] 0VI = Digital Video interface.
[3] HDCP = High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection.
EIA/CEA-861/861B compliance covers the transmission of
uncompressed digitai video with high-bandwidth digitai 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.
Note: NEVER CONNECT THIS TV TO A
PERSONAL COMPUTER [PC). THIS TV IS NOT
INTENDED FOR USE WITH A PC.
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 as
short an HDMI cable as possible. You should not
encounter difficulty if you use an HDMI cable shorter
than 16.4ft. (5rn).
HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate analog
audio cables are not required [see illustration below). Some
CDVs (video CDs] may not output digital audio signals, in
that case, you may hear sound by connecting analog audio
cables.
See “Setting the HDMI audio mode” on page 43.
