Operating additional equipment

HDMI (DVI) connection

The HDMI connection (High Deﬁ niton Multimedia Interface) allows digital
picture and sound transmission via a connecting cable, e.g. from DVD
players. The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without data
compression and therefore lose none of their quality. No analog/digital
conversion is necessary in the connected equipment which also led to losses
in quality.
DVI signals can be also be reproduced by the HDMI connection using a
DVI/HDMI adapter cable. This is possible because HDMI is based on DVI
and is downward compatible. That means that the digital video signals
are transmitted via HDMI. In addition both use the same copy protection
method HDCP.

Connect the set with an HDMI connection with an HDMI cable (type A,
19-pin) to the HDMI socket of the TV set. Log in the HDMI connection in the
connection wizard (TV menu – Connections – New devices/modiﬁ cations).

Select the HDMI connection in the AV selection.

Start playback on the connected device with HDMI connection.
The best possible formats for picture and sound are detected and set
automatically.

No sound is transmitted when a DVI/HDMI adapter cable is used for
transmission. You can feed in the appropriate analog sound via the audio
input sockets AUDIO IN L/R on the TV set. The sound is played over the TV
loudspeakers.

If you have connected a digital external audio ampliﬁ er, you can select
the digitla audio signal in the connection wizard (TV menu - Connections
- New devices/changes) and assign it to the HDMI/DVI socket. You do the
other settings for the audio ampliﬁ er as described for the digital ampliﬁ er
on page 25. The digital audio signal of the DVI audio source is fed in at the
AUDIO DIGITAL IN socket on the TV. The digital audio signal from the TV
AUDIO DIGITAL OUT is fed to the ampliﬁ er.
