Connecting Your Dvd Player; Using Hdmi™ (Digital Hd) - Vizio P50HDM User Manual

2.2 - Connecting Your DVD Player

You have several options for connecting your DVD player to your new P50 HDM plasma monitor
– HDMI™ (Digital HD), Component (Analog HD), S-Video (AV), and Composite (AV) inputs.
Based on your home theater configuration, you can decide which option is the right one for you.
2.2.1 - Using HDMI™ (Digital HD)
DVD players that have a digital interface such as HDMI™ (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
should be connected to the HDMI™ input of the VIZIO P50 HDM plasma monitor for optimal
results.
Note: To maintain the display quality, use a VIZIO certified HDMI™ cable that is 10 meters or
less. See www.vizioce.com
Installation:
1. Turn off the power to the plasma monitor and DVD player.
2. Connect a HDMI™ cable to the HDMI™ output of your DVD player and the other end to
the HDMI™ input (white color band) in the rear of your plasma monitor.
3. Turn on the power to the plasma monitor and your DVD player.
4. Select Digital HD1 using the INPUT button on the side of the plasma monitor, or the
"Digital HD" or "Input" button on the remote control.
Note:
a) If you need to connect a DVI device to your P50HDM monitor, we recommend using an
HDMI™-DVI cable (contact VIZIO for these cables). We suggest you don't use an
HDMI™/DVI adapter since it may physically block the adjacent audio inputs.
b) The HDMI™ input on your plasma monitor supports High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection (HDCP). HDCP encrypts the transmission between the video source and the
digital display for added security and protection.
c) If you are already using the Digital HD1 input for another component, or you do not
want to use the Digital HD1 input for the DVD player, you can connect the DVD player
to the Digital HD2 connections coded by the white color band.
d) Refer to your DVD player user manual for more information about the video output
requirements of the product.
