CONNECTING AN EQUIPMENT SOURCE WITH HDMI
OR DVI CAPABILITY TO HDMI 1, HDMI 2
Connect the HDMI or DVI to HDMI connection cable from the 1.
output of the HDTV set top box or DVD player to the HDMI
input as shown on the Rear panel at right.
With DVI output, connect the audio cables from the AUDIO 2.
OUT jack of the HDTV set top box or DVD player to the Rear
Panel INPUT 1 or 2 AUDIO jacks as shown right below.
Press the INPUT button, then select HDMI 1 or 2 to view the 3.
program from the HDTV SET-TOP BOX or DVD player.
Completely insert the connection cord plugs when
connecting to rear panel jacks. The picture and
sound that is played back will be abnormal if the
connection is loose.
When using a DVI to HDMI cable, connect the Audio
Out L and R cables at the same input (1, 2) as your
HDMI input (1, 2).
The HDMI input on HDMI 1, 2 and 3 contains the
copy protection system called High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection (HDCP). HDCP is a
cryptographic system that encrypts video signals
when using HDMI connections to prevent illegal
copying of video contents.
HDMI is not a “NETWORK” technology. It establishes
a one-way point-to-point connection for delivery of
uncompressed video to a display.
The connected digital output device controls the
HDMI interface so proper set-up of device user
settings determines nal video appearance.

CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL AUDIO AMPLIFIER
To monitor the audio level of the Plasma TV to an external
audio amplier, connect the system as shown on the right. The
“OPTICAL OUT” from the Rear Panel is a xed output. The Volume
of the amplier is controlled by the amplier, not by the Plasma
Television.
The OPTICAL OUT terminal outputs all audio sources to equipment
with Optical IN capability.
Connect an optical cable from the Optical out to the Optical
1.
input of a separate Stereo System Amplier as shown on the
Rear Panel on the right.
Completely insert the connection cord plugs when connecting to rear panel jacks. The picture and sound that is played
back will be abnormal if the connection is loose.
Cable plugs are often color-coded. Match colors of plugs and terminals, i.e. connect red to red, white to white, etc.
To return to the last channel viewed, select CABLE or AIR from the INPUTS menu.
