ቧ HDMI1 (High Definition Multimedia Interface) (INPUT 1)
About HDMI
HDMI is the next-generation all digital interface for consumer electronics. HDMI enables the secure distribution of uncompressed
high-definition video and multi-channel audio in a single cable. Because digital television (DTV) signals remain in digital format,
HDMI assures that pristine high-definition images retain the highest video quality from the source all the way to your television
screen.
HDMI 2 (INPUT 2)
Extra HDMI input.
Use the HDMI input for your external devices such as Set-Top-Boxes or DVD players equipped with an HDMI output connection.
HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC.
ቨ Optical Out (Digital Audio)
This jack provides Digital Audio Output for your audio device that is Dolby
®
Digital and PCM compatible, such as an audio amplifier.
ቩ Upgrade Card
This card slot is for future software upgrades. Hitachi will notify you if a software upgrade is required for your TV. In order to receive
written notification, please complete and return your warranty card.
ቪ RS232C Input
For use with third party home Audio/Video control systems which are commercially available. Please see your dealer regarding
these “non Hitachi” home control systems (see page 76 to activate this input).
ቫ TV AS CENTER (INPUTS 1-4)
These jacks are for stereo amplifiers with center signal output capability. This feature allows the TV speakers to be used as a center
speaker. The TV must be set as a center channel by selecting “TV as Center” on the Internal Speakers Settings of the Audio Menu
(see page 49).
ቭ IR Blaster
This jack provides IR output to your external components (VCR, Cable box, DVD player, etc.). With this connection, your external
components can automatically be controlled by the A/V network feature. This connection will allow you to control the external
components with your LCD Rear PTV’s remote control in TV mode.
ቮ IEEE1394
These jacks provide a digital interface for your external digital devices, such as a Digital VCR (D-VHS or Set-Top-Box) by means of
a single cable (see page 22). When using IEEE1394 connections, you enable video and audio digital data exchange between a
compatible device. This connection also enables you to control basic equipment functions (such as VCR play, rewind, fast forward,
stop, etc.) from your TV On-Screen Display.
NOTES: 1. The HDMI input is not intended for use with personal computers.
2. Only DTV formats such as 1080i, 720p, 480i and 480p are available for HDMI input.
