HDMI Connection

HDMI ∗
1 (High Definition Multi media Interface) is the first all-digital consumer electronics A/V interface that
supports uncompressed standard. The HDMI terminal supports both video and audio information.
To the HDMI ∗ input terminal, you can connect an EIA/CEA-861/861B ∗
1
such as a Set Top Box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output terminal.
Input a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) high-definition picture source to this HDMI terminal,
so you can display high-definition pictures on this TV in digital form.
• An audio cable should be connected only when using an HDMI conversion
adapter to connect with a DVI cable.
• If the external device has DVI output only, use a DVI to HDMI adapter cable ∗
to connect to the HDMI terminal.
• Connect the audio cables to the AUDIO IN terminals for HDMI.
• Select the audio setting in HDMI In (see page 25).

Input or Video Input). In this case the picture will be displayed as an analog signal.
