Connecting the Device
High-Defi nition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) technology is an uncompressed digital connection
that carries both video and audio data by way of an integrated mini-plug cable. Since HDMI
technology is based on Digital Visual Interface (DVI), the jack on the back of your TV is also
compatible with devices that have a DVI output jack.

Using the example of a set-top box:
• If your set-top box has an HDMI jack, connect an HDMI cable.
Connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI/DVI Input jack on the back of the TV and to
the HDMI Out jack on the back of the device.
• If your set-top box has a DVI jack, connect an HDMI cable and an
HDMI/DVI adapter.
A. Connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI/DVI Input jack on the back of the TV.
B. Attach an HDMI/DVI adapter to the end of the HDMI cable, then connect the
adapter to the DVI Out jack on the set-top box.
C. Since you're using an HDMI/DVI adapter, you need to connect Audio left and right
cables to the HDMI/DVI R and L AUDIO jacks on the back of the TV and to the R
and L jacks on the back of the device.
