Image or sound may not be available for the first few seconds when the playback starts.

 

Image or sound may not be available for the first few seconds when Input mode is switched.

 

Volume function will be displayed when adjusting the volume of the equipment.

 

If you connect equipment that has “HDAVI Control 2 or later” function to the TV with an HDMI cable, the sound from DIGITAL 

AUDIO OUT terminal can be output as multi channel surround.

 

“HDAVI Control 5” is the newest standard (current as of December, 2009) for the HDAVI Control compatible equipment.

  This standard is compatible with the conventional HDAVI equipment.

HDMI connection

HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high-quality sound by 

connecting the TV unit and the devices.

HDMI-compatible equipment (*1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a set-top box or a DVD player, can be connected 

to the HDMI connector using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.

 

HDMI is the world’s first complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard.

 

If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI terminal via a DVI to HDMI adapter cable (*2).

 

When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal.

 

Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI 1 in” or “HDMI 2 in” menu screen. (p. 26)

Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (L.PCM):  48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz

 

(*1):  The HDMI logo is displayed on an HDMI-compliant device. 

 

(*2):  Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.

Caution

 

Use with a PC is not assumed.

 

All signals are reformatted before being displayed on the screen.

 

If the connected device has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to “16:9”.

 

These HDMI connectors are “type A”.

 

These HDMI connectors are compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) copyright protection.

 

A device having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either “COMPONENT” or “VIDEO” to 

receive analog signals.

 

The HDMI input terminal can be used with only the following image signals:  480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p.

Match the output setting of the digital device.

 

For details of the applicable HDMI signals, see p. 46.

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminals

You can enjoy your Home theater by connecting a Dolby Digital (5.1 channel) decoder and “Multi Channel” amplifier to the 

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminals. 

Caution

 

Depending on your DVD player and DVD-Audio software the copyright protection function may operate and disable optical 

output.

 

When an ATSC channel is selected, the output from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack will be Dolby Digital. When an NTSC 

channel is selected, the output will be PCM.
