Getting Start ed

By inputting a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection high-definition picture source to the HDMI IN terminal of this Projection Display, high-definition pictures can be displayed on the screen in their digital form. (This terminal is for use with HDMI equipped DVD players, Set top boxes and D-VHS machines.)

Notes:

• Select the HDMI input position by pressing the TV/VIDEO button. (P. 32)

• The HDMI IN terminal can only be used with 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i picture signals.

• If there is no audio, check if the source equipment has PCM output. If not, please use analog connections.

• Be sure HDMI is securely connected. If not, picture noise and/or incorrect picture display may result.

• With HDMI connection, depending on the signal, the picture may be displayed with unnatural colors (as if red and blue are reversed). Refer to “Color Corr.” on page 41.

Procedure

When digital audio is included in the HDMI connection, the compatible sampling frequencies are 48 kHz/44.1 kHz/ 32 kHz. Refer to “HDMI In” on page 43.
