DTVLink DTVLink uses a connection and jack better known to some as IEEE-
1394 or FireWire®. It is a compressed digital video input/output offering an
IEEE 1394-type connection that meets the CEA specifications. This connection is
a high-speed way of interconnecting 1394 compliant consumer electronic
components. If your 1394 component has the DTVLink logo on it, it should
work with this TV. Use either or both connectors to connect compatible
DTVLink components but don't loop the components together. When
connecting several components, use a hub or component-to-component
method. Be sure to connect the fastest of the DTVLink components closer to
the connection point of the TV and the slower components furthest away.
Details on page 18.
Notes: Audio and video information is carried on a single wire.
The TV outputs audio/video through the DTVLink jack only to a
component that enforces video copy protection.
CableCARD Allows you to use a digital cable television card to receive digital
cable services, including premium and HDTV cable channels, without the need
for a set-top box. Go to page 20 for information on using the CableCARD slot.
HDMI/DVI INPUT (High-Definition Multimedia Interface/Digital Visual
Interface) Provides an uncompressed digital interface that carries both video
and audio data by way of an integrated mini-plug cable. Since HDMI is based
on Digital Visual Interface (DVI) the jack on the back of your TV is compatible
with DVI components.
Note: If you connect a component with a DVI jack to the HDMI/DVI
input, you'll need an HDMI to DVI adapter. Also, connect the left and
right audio cables to an input that is not in use. An example is shown on
page 19. Then go to the Audio Connections menu and select DVI Audio
Input to choose the input you're using to receive audio.
CABLE INPUT Used to connect a coaxial cable to receive the signal from
cable or cable box.
ANTENNA INPUT Used to connect a coaxial cable to receive the signal from
an off-air antenna.
