Getting Start ed
By inputting a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection high-definition picture source to the HDMI IN terminals of
this Projection Display, high-definition pictures can be displayed on the screen in their digital form. (This terminal is
for use in the future when High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection DVD players and D-VHS are put on the market.)
Notes:
• Select the HDMI input position by pressing the TV/VIDEO button. (P. 32)
• The HDMI IN terminals can only be used with 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i picture signals.
• If there is no audio, check if the source equipment has PCM output. If not, please use analog connections.
• Be sure HDMI is securely connected. If not, picture noise and/or incorrect picture display may result.
• With HDMI connection, depending on the signal, the picture may be displayed with unnatural colors (as if red and blue are
reversed). Refer to “Color Corr.” on page 41.
• If the external device has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI terminal via a DVI to HDMI adaptor cable*

.
• When the DVI to HDMI adaptor cable*

is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal.
