4 HDMI IN 7/8 HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) provides an uncompressed, all-digital
audio/video interface between this TV and any HDMI-equipped audio/video equipment, such
as a set-top box, Blu-ray Disc Player, DVD player, and A/V receiver. HDMI supports
enhanced, or high-definition video, plus two-channel digital audio.
If the equipment has a DVI jack and not an HDMI jack, connect the DVI jack to the HDMI IN
8 (with HDMI-to-DVI cable and/or adapter) jack (rear panel), and connect the audio jack to
the HDMI IN AUDIO 8 (rear panel). (DVI connector is for video signals only.)
✍ Be sure to use only an HDMI cable that bears the HDMI logo.
✍ Do not connect a PC to the TV’s HDMI input. Use the PC IN (RGB IN) input
instead when connecting a PC.
✍ HDMI connection is necessary to view 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p
formats. Note that this TV displays all format types of picture in a resolution of
1,920 dots × 1,080 lines.
