Connecting and Using a Source Device
Using an HDMI cable or HDMI to DVI Cable (up to 1080p)
For better picture and audio quality, connect to a digital device using an HDMI cable.
An HDMI cable supports digital video and audio signals, and does not require an audio cable.
To connect the TV to a digital device that does not support HDMI output, use an HDMI/DVI and
audio cables.
The picture may not display normally (if at all) or the audio may not work if an external device that
uses an older version of HDMI mode is connected to the TV. If such a problem occurs, ask the
manufacturer of the external device about the HDMI version and, if out of date, request an upgrade.
Be sure to use an HDMI cable with a thickness of 14 mm or less.
Be sure to purchase a certified HDMI cable. Otherwise, the picture may not display or a connection
error may occur.
A basic high-speed HDMI cable or one with ethernet is recommended. This product does not
support the ethernet function via HDMI.
