Connecting an HDMI™ or a DVI device to the HDMI input
[1]
The HDMI
input on your TV receives digital audio and
uncompressed digital video from an HDMI device or
uncompressed digital video from a DVI
This input is designed to accept HDCP
in digital form from EIA/CEA-861/861B– compliant
consumer 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
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 personal computer.
To connect an HDMI device, you will need:
• one HDMI cable (type A connector)
For proper operation, it is recommended that you use
a short HDMI cable. You should not encounter
difficulty if you use an HDMI cable that is shorter than
16.4ft (5m).
HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate
analog audio cables are not required (see illustration
below).
Note: you can connect the HDMI cable to either HDMI
jacks on the TV (HDMI1 or HDMI2).
You must set the HDMI audio input setting to HDMI
in the AUDIO menu (see page 44).
Some CDVs (Video CDs) may not output digital audio
signals. In that case, you may hear sound by connecting
analog audio cables. If you do use analog audio cables for
this reason, you will need to set the HDMI audio input
setting to "DVI" to hear the analog audio (see page 44).
Note: If you connect an HDMI device and analog audio
cables (as described in the previous paragraph), and
then you play media with digital audio output, to hear
digital audio you must set the HDMI audio input setting
to "HDMI" (page 44).

Because this is an evolving technology, it is possible
that some devices may not operate properly with the
TV.
To ensure that the HDMI or DVI device is reset
properly, it is recommended that you follow these
procedures:
• When turning on your electronic components, turn
on the TV first, and then the HDMI or DVI device.
• When turning off your electronic components, turn
off the HDMI or DVI device first,and then the TV.
To connect a DVI device, you will need:
• one HDMI–to–DVI adapter cable
(HDMI type A connector)
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).
• one pair of standard analog audio cables
An HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable transfers only video.
Separate analog audio cables are required (see
illustration below).
Note: you can connect the HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable
and analog audio cables to either HDMI jacks on the TV
(HDMI1 or HDMI2).
You must set the HDMI audio input setting to DVI in
the AUDIO menu (see page 44).
