HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-definition digital
images and high-quality sound by connecting the TV unit and HD devices.
HDMI-compatible equipment (*1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a
Cable or Satellite box or a DVD player, can be connected to the HDMI connector using
an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.

HDMI is the world's first complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a
non-compression standard.
If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI 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 HDMI in menu screen. Applicable audio signal
sampling frequencies (L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz

(*1): The HDMI logo is displayed on an HDMI-compliant device.
(*2): Inquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.
