Be sure to use a High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet. Premium High Speed HDMI Cable
with Ethernet that supports 18 Gbps is required for 4K/60p 4:4:4, 4:2:2, and 4K/60p 4:2:0
10 bit, etc. For details about the high bandwidth video format, refer to “Supported video
formats” in “About HDMI connections.”
We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable. If you connect an HDMI-DVI
conversion cable to a DVI-D device, the sound and/or image may be lost. Connect separate
audio cables or digital connecting cables, then reassign the input jacks if the sound is not
output correctly.
When connecting optical digital cables, insert the plugs straight until they click into place.
Do not bend or tie optical digital cables.
Hint
All of the digital audio jacks are compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz and 96 kHz sampling
frequencies.
If you want to connect several digital devices, but cannot find an unused input
In this case, reassign the input jacks.
