Connecting an HDMI™ or DVI
device to the HDMI input
The HDMI input on your television receives digital
audio and uncompressed digital video from an
HDMI source device, or uncompressed digital video
from a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) source device.
This input is designed to accept HDCP (High-Bandwidth
Digital-Content Protection) programme material in digital
form from EIA/CEA-861-D–compliant
[1]
consumer electronic
devices (such as a set-top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI
output). For acceptable video signal formats, see page 39.
NOTE:
• Some early HDMI equipment may not work properly with
your latest HDMI TV, due to the adoption of a new standard.
Please unplug your HDMI cable first and then try setting
Lip
Sync
to “
Off
”. Your early HDMI source should operate
properly with your television. See page 33.
• Supported Audio format: Linear PCM, sampling rate 32/
44.1/48kHz.
Connect an HDMI cable (type A connector) to the HDMI
terminal.
For proper operation, it is recommended that you use an HDMI
cable with the HDMI Logo (
).
• If your HDMI connection is capable of 1080p and/or your
television is capable of refresh rates greater than 60Hz, you
will need a Category 2 cable. Conventional HDMI/DVI cable
may not work properly with this mode.
• HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate
analogue audio cables are not required (see illustration).
• See “HDMI1 Audio” on page 33.
To view the HDMI device video, press the
o
button to select
HDMI1 or HDMI2 mode.
Connect an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable (HDMI type A
connector) to the HDMI1 terminal and audio cables to the
HDMI1 (AUDIO) socket (see illustration).
• The recommended HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable length is 6.6
ft (2m).
• An HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable transfers video only.
Separate analogue audio cables are required.
• See “HDMI1 Audio” on page 33.
NOTE:
To ensure that the HDMI or DVI device is reset properly, it is
recommended that you follow these procedures:
• When turning on your electronic components, turn on the
television first, and then the HDMI or DVI device.
• When turning off your electronic components, turn off the
HDMI or DVI device first, and then the television.

[1] EIA/CEA-861-D compliance covers the transmission of uncompressed
digital video with high-bandwidth digital content protection, which is
being standardized for reception of high-definition video signals. Because
this is an evolving technology, it is possible that some devices may not
operate properly with the television.
