HDMI (DVI) connection
The HDMI connection (High Defi niton Multimedia Interface) allows digital
picture and sound transmission via a connecting cable, e.g. from DVD
players. The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without data
compression and therefore lose none of their quality. No analog/digital
conversion is necessary in the connected equipment which also led to losses
in quality.
DVI signals can be also be reproduced by the HDMI connection using a
DVI/HDMI adapter cable. This is possible because HDMI is based on DVI
and is downward compatible. That means that the digital video signals
are transmitted via HDMI. In addition both use the same copy protection
method HDCP.
Connect the set with an HDMI connection with an HDMI cable (type A,
19-pin) to the HDMI socket of the TV set. Log in the HDMI connection in the
connection wizard (“TV menu” – “Connections” – “New devices/modifi ca-
tions”).
Select the HDMI connection in the AV selection.

No sound is transmitted when a DVI/HDMI adapter cable is used for
transmission. You can feed in the appropriate analog sound via the audio
input sockets AUDIO IN L/R on the TV set. The sound is played over the TV
loudspeakers.
If you have connected a digital external audio amplifi er, you can select
the digitla audio signal in the connection wizard (TV menu - Connections
- New devices/changes) and assign it to the HDMI/DVI socket. You do the
other settings for the audio amplifi er as described for the digital amplifi er
on page 26. The digital audio signal of the DVI audio source is fed in at the
AUDIO DIGITAL IN socket on the TV. The digital audio signal from the TV
AUDIO DIGITAL OUT is fed to the amplifi er.
VGA/XGA connection
You can connect a PC or a Set Top Box (STB) and therefore use the TV
screen as an output device.
Connect the PC/STB with a VGA cable to the VGA/XGA socket on the TV.
When connecting to a PC you set one of the following screen resolutions on
your PC fi rst. 800x600 60Hz (SVGA) and 1024x768 60Hz (XGA).
When a Set Top Box is connected you set the following screen resolutions
according to the possibilities of the Set Top Box:
SDTV - standard modes in STB: 720x576i PAL (50 Hz),
720x 480i NTSC (60 Hz)
HDTV modes: 1280x720p, 1920x1080i
ProScan: 720x576p (50 Hz), 720x480p (60 Hz)
