HDMI connection
HDMI (high-defi nition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-defi nition 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. 32).
Note
HDMI is the world’s fi rst 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 (
•
When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal (HDMI1: use
•
AUDIO IN terminals / HDMI3: use AV4 IN AUDIO terminals).
Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI1 / 3 Input” menu screen. (p. 20)
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”,
•
“S-VIDEO”, 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. 38.
