About connections

7.2.1 What you need to know
Connect your device with the highest possible
quality connection.
Look for the highest quality connection on your
device. Use that connection to your TV.
HDMI - Highest quality
An HDMI connection has the best picture and
sound quality. One cable combines video and audio
signals. Use HDMI for HD ( High Definition) TV
signals. HDMI with EasyLink offers easy operating
of your connected devices when these have the
HDMI CEC standard. See section 7.2.2 EasyLink
A device connected with HDMI to the TV can only
send out audio and video signals to your TV. The
device cannot receive or record audio and video
from your TV.
HDMI cable (max. 5m)
à Tip
DVI to HDMI – Higher quality
Use a DVI to HDMI adaptor if your device has only
a DVI connection.
Connect an Audio L/R cable to Audio In L/R (DVI
to HDMI) for sound.
Assign this Audio In to the HDMI 1, 2 or 3 where
the device is connected. See section 7.5.2 Audio
setup (if present).
r Note
HDMI supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Contents Protection). HDCP is a copy protection
signal that comes with HD content (DVD disc or
Blu-ray Disc).
