Operating additional equipment

HDMI (DVI) connection

The HDMI connection (High Definition Multimedia Interface) allows
digital picture and sound transmission via a connecting cable, e.g.
from Loewe DVD Recorder Centros 2102/2172 HD. The digital
picture and sound data are transmitted without data compression
and therefore lose none of their quality. In the equipment connected, no analogue/
digital conversion is necessary, which might also have lead to losses in quality.
DVI signals can be also be reproduced by the HDMI connection using a DVI/HDMI
adapter cable. This is possible because HDMI is based on DVI and is downwardly
compatible. That means that the digital video signals are transmitted via HDMI
- no audio signals are transmitted, though. In addition, both use the same copy
protection method HDCP.
Connect the set with an HDMI connection using an HDMI cable (type A, 19-pin)
to the HDMI socket of the TV set. Log in the HDMI connection in the connection
wizard (TV menu - Connections - New devices/modifications).
Select the HDMI connection in the AV selection.

Start playback on the device connected with HDMI connection.
The set automatically recognises and sets the best possible format for the video.
If transmission occurs via a DVI/HDMI adapter cable, then you can feed in the
appropriate analogue audio via the audio input sockets AUDIO IN L/R on the TV set.
The sound is reproduced via the TV speakers.
If you have connected a digital external audio amplifier, you can select the digital
audio signal in the connection wizard (TV menu - Connections - New devices/mo-
difications) and assign it to the HDMI/DVI socket. You can make the other settings
for the audio amplifier as described for digital amplifiers on page 36. The digital
audio signal of the DVI audio source is fed in at the AUDIO DIGITAL IN socket on
the TV. Feed the digital audio signal from the TV AUDIO DIGITAL OUT to the external
amplifier.
Set geometry: as described for VGA/XGA connection.
