HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high-
quality sound by connecting the TV and the equipment.
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 terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.
About connections, see “External Equipment” (p. 40).
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 HDMI1 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
(HDMI1 : use AV2 IN AUDIO terminal).
Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI1 Input” (or “HDMI Input” for TH-L32C12K) menu screen.
(p. 20)
Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (2ch L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz
HDMI2 terminal is for digital audio signal only and is not available for TH-L32C12K.
Use with a PC is not guaranteed. Only HDMI video formats indicated in the HDMI table (p. 46) are
applicable.
If the connected equipment 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.
An equipment having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either
“COMPONENT” or “VIDEO” to receive analogue signals.
The HDMI input terminal can be used with only the following image signals:
480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. Match the output setting of the digital equipment.
For details of the applicable HDMI signals, see p. 46.
