HDMI connection
•
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 or HDMI3 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.
•
Audio settings can be made on the "HDMI1 / 3 input" menu screen. (p. 18)
•
Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (2ch L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz
(∗1): The HDMI logo is displayed on an HDMI-compliant equipment. (∗2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.
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 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.

"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. 34.
•
DVI picture position is controlled by the source equipment (ie; STB, DVD player etc.). If you experience picture
position errors using DVI to HDMI adapter cable, please contact the source equipment manufacturer.
