Connecting devices to the HDMI (DVI)
connections and playback
The HDMI connections (High Definition Multimedia In-
terface) permit digital video and audio transmission via
a connection cable from a player, e.g. from the Loewe
ViewVision DVD recorder.
The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without data compres-
sion and therefore lose none of their quality.
Your TV set automatically shows 24p movies (see glossary page 60)
output by a player connected via HDMI, e.g. Loewe BluTech Vision, in
the original 24p format. Film quality improvement (DMM) must be set
to
on
here (see page 21).
Using a DVI/HDMI adapter cable, the digital video signals of a DVI player
can also be played via the compatible HDMI connection. The sound must
be fed in additionally.
HDMI and DVI both use the same copy protection method HDCP.
Connecting the device
Connect the device by an HDMI cable (type A, 19 pole) to the
HDMI1/DVI
or
HDMI2/DVI
socket of the TV set.
If a DVI/HDMI adapter cable is used, the appropriate sound can be fed
in via the audio input socket
AUDIO IN1
(analogue) or
AUDIO DIGITAL IN
(digital) on the TV set. See also page 43.
It is not necessary to log in HDMI devices in the connection wizard.

Digital Link HD in appropriately equipped HDMI devices
As long as HDMI is selected as a memory location, all remote control
commands which the connected HDMI unit can handle are passed on to
it. The HDMI unit can therefore be installed in a concealed position and
still be operated. Volume, Sound on/off, Sound adaptation and Picture
format affect the operation of the TV set.
