Connecting an HDMI™ or DVI device
The HDMI input on your television receives digital audio and uncompressed digital video from an HDMI
source device, or uncompressed digital video from a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) source device.
This input is designed to accept HDCP (High-Bandwidth
Digital-Content Protection) program material in digital
form from EIA/CEA-861-D–compliant
electronic devices (such as a set-top box or DVD player with
HDMI or DVI output). For acceptable video signal formats,
see page 37.
NOTE:
• Some early HDMI equipment may not work properly with
your latest HDMI TV, due to the adoption of a new
standard. Please unplug your HDMI cable first and then
try setting the following options (Deep Color, Lip Sync)
to "Off". Your early HDMI source should operate
properly with your television. See page 28.
• Supported Audio format: Linear PCM, sampling rate 32/
44.1/48kHz.
