Connecting An Hdmi™ Or A Dvi Device To The Hdmi Input - Toshiba 32HLX84 Owner's Manual

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
device.
This input is designed to accept HDCP
material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861/861B–
compliant [4] 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: NEVER CONNECT THIS TV TO
A PERSONAL COMPUTER (PC).
This TV is not intended for use with a PC.
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
16.4 ft (5m).
HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate
analog audio cables are not required (see illustration
below). Some CDVs (Video CDs) may not output
digital audio signals. In that case, you may hear
sound by connecting analog audio cables. However, if
you connect analog audio cables with this connection,
the HDMI terminal on the TV will not receive the
HDMI digital audio signal and you will hear analog
audio only.

EIA/CEA-861/861B compliance covers the transmission of
[3] program 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 TV.
To connect a DVI device, you will need:

HDMI OUT
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.
• 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).
