input as shown near the side panel at right.
2. With DVI output devices, connect a DVI to HDMI cabel to the

NOTES
when connecting to the rear panel jacks. If
you do not, the picture and/or sound may be
abnormal.
• When using a DVI to HDMI cable, connect
the Audio Out L and R cables to an external
audio amplifier.
• The HDMI input on HDMI 1, 2, 3 and 4
contains the copy protection system called
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP). HDCP is a cryptographic system
that encrypts video signals when using
HDMI connections to prevent illegal copying
of video contents.
• HDMI is not a "NETWORK" technology.
It establishes a one-way, point-to-point
connection for delivery of uncompressed
video to a display.
• The connected digital output device controls
the HDMI interface, so proper set-up of
device user settings determines final video
appearance.
• Only HDMI 1 can support DVI audio input.
CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL AUDIO AMPLIFIER
To monitor the audio level of the LCD TV to an external audio
amplifier, connect the system as shown on the right. The DIGITAL
OUT and AUDIO OUT from the Side Panel is a fixed output. The
Volume of the amplifier is controlled by the amplifier, not by the
LCD Television.
The DIGITAL OUT jack outputs all audio sources to device with
Optical IN capability.
1. Connect an optical cable from the DIGITAL OUT to the
OPTICAL IN of a separate Stereo System Amplifier as shown
on the Side Panel on the right.
2. Connect an RCA stereo cable from the AUDIO OUT to the
Audio input of a separate Stereo System Amplifier as shown
on the Side Panel on the right.
• Completely insert the connection cord plugs when connecting to rear panel jacks. If you do not, the picture and/or sound
NOTES
may be abnormal.
• Cable plugs are often color-coded. Match colors of plugs and jacks, i.e. connect red to red, white to white, etc.
