Connecting an HDMI™ device to the HDMI input
The HDMI [1] input on your unit receives digital audio and uncompressed digital video from an HDMI device or uncompressed
digital video from a DVI [2] device.
This input is designed to accept HDCP
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 high
definition video signals. It will accept and display 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i signals.
[1] HDMI = High-Definition Multimedia Interface.
[2] DVI = Digital Video Interface.
[3] HDCP = High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection.
[4] EIA/CEA-861/861B compliance covers the transmission of 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 unit.
HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate analog audio cables are not required (see illustration below.)
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 that is shorter than 16.4 ft (5m.)
You must set the HDMI audio input setting to "HDMI" in the AUDIO menu
HDMI device
Connecting a DVI device to the HDMI input
An HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable transfers only video.
Separate analog audio cables are required (see illustration below.)
For proper operation, the length of an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable should not exceed 9.8 ft (3m.) The recommended length is
6.6 ft (2m.)
You must set the HDMI audio input setting to "DVI" in the AUDIO menu
