Analog stereo audio cables and a DVI-to-HDMI cable or
DVI/HDMI adapter and HDMI cable are required. These
are not included with the TV. They may be available at
your local electronics retailer.
1. Connect the DVI-to-HDMI cable (recommended) or
HDMI cable with DVI/HDMI adapter from the DVI
device’s back panel to the TV back panel.
NOTE: If you are using a DVI/HDMI adapter, it is impor-
tant to connect the adapter to the DVI device for
best performance.
2. Connect a set of audio cables from
AUDIO OUT
on the DVI device back panel to the
HDMI/DVI
AUDIO
on the TV back panel. Connect the red
cable to the
RIGHT
jack and the white cable to the
LEFT
jack.
NOTE: The HDMI connection supports copy protection
(HDCP).
Some devices require connecting to an analog
input first, in order to view on-screen menus and
to select DVI as the ouput. Please review your
equipment instructions for DVI connectivity and
compatibility.

Required: HDMI-to-HDMI cable. This is not included with

required. There are two HDMI inputs on the TV back
panel.

HDMI inputs are certified for proper
interoperability with other products certified by Sim-

IMPORTANT
To connect a personal computer to the TV,
see chapter 7, “Using the TV with a Personal
Computer.”
The HDMI input processes signals as standard
motion video and is not designed to process
computer resolutions.
IMPORTANT
For sound from your devices, note that the
HDMI inputs can receive digital stereo audio
signals only. To use digital surround sound for
an HDMI or DVI device, connect that device’s
digital audio output directly to your A/V
receiver. See the Owner’s Guides for those
devices for instructions.
