Connecting An Hdmi Or Dvi Device To The Hdmi Input - Toshiba 34HF84 Owner's Manual

Connecting an HDMI or DVI device to the HDMI input

The HDMI [1] input on your TV receives
uncompressed digital video and audio from an HDMI
device or uncompressed video from a DVI
This input is designed to accept HDCP
material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861/861B–
[4]
compliant consumer electronic devices (such as a set-
top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI
[5]
output ).
The HDMI input is designed for best performance
with 1080i high-definition video signals, but will also
accept and display 480i, 480p, and 720p signals.
Note: This TV is not intended for connection
to and should not be used with a PC (personal
computer).
To connect an HDMI device, you will need:
• one HDMI cable (type A connector)
For proper operation, the length of an HDMI cable
should not exceed 16.4 ft (5m).
HDMI cable transfers both video and audio.
Separate analog audio cables are not required (see
illustration below). Some CDVs (video CDs) do not
output digital audio signals and may require
separate analog audio cables. If you connect analog
audio cables with this connection, the HDMI
terminal on the TV will not receive the HDMI digital
audio signal and you will hear analog audio only.

program
uncompressed digital video with high-bandwidth digital
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. You should confirm that the device you
want to connect to the HDMI input will operate with the input
by testing the device with the TV.
