Hdmi (Dvi) Connection; Vga/Xga Connection - Loewe Spheros R 37 Operating Instructions Manual

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 10/17 HD.
The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without data
compression and therefore lose none of their quality. In the equipment con-
nected, 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 transmit-
ted 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/modifications) 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.

VGA cable.
When connecting to a PC, first set one of the following screen resolutions on
your PC.
800x600 60Hz (SVGA)
104x768 60Hz (XGA).
When a Set Top Box is connected, set the following screen resolutions according

If the picture is not positioned correctly, you can move the picture horizontally
and vertically here so that it fills the whole screen. You can also set the phase
position so that the picture appears in the best possible quality.
Setting colour standard
Call up Image settings (TV menu – Picture). Select "Colour standard" using
34 and make your selection.
The colour standard for a connected PC is RGB.
In Set Top Boxes, you usually set Ycc as a colour standard. Other formats such
as Ypp or RGB can also be output. Please consult the operating instructions of
the device connected.
If the wrong standard is selected, you will recognise this by the wrong colours
in the display.
