HDCP = High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection.

EIA/CEA-861/861B compliance covers the transmission of
uncompressed digital video with high-bandwidth digital
content protection, which is being standardized for reception
of high-definition video signals. Because this is an evolving
technology, it is possible that some devices may not operate
properly with the TV.
Connecting an HDMI™ or a DVI device to the HDMI inputs
TV
HDMI device
You can connect an HDMI cable or an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable to
either HDMI1 or HDMI2 input on the TV.
See “Selecting the video input source” on page 50.
HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are
trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC.

• one HDMI
–
to
–
DVI adapter cable
(HDMI type A connector)
For proper operation, the length of the HDMI-to-DVI
adapter cable should not exceed 9.8 ft (3m). The
recommended length is 6.6 ft (2m).
• one pair of standard analog audio cables
An HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable transfers only video.
Separate analog audio cables are required (see
illustration below).

To ensure that the HDMI or DVI device is reset
properly, it is recommended that you follow
these procedures:
•When turning on your electronic components,
turn on the TV first, and then the HDMI or
DVI device.
•When turning off your electronic components,
turn off the HDMI or DVI device first, and
then the TV.
The HDMI
[1]
inputs on your TV receive digital audio
and uncompressed digital video from an HDMI
device or uncompressed digital video from a DVI
[2]
device.
These inputs are designed to accept HDCP

program
material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861/861B–
compliant
[4]
consumer electronic devices (such as a set-
top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output).
The HDMI inputs are designed for best performance
with 1080i high-definition video signals, but will also
accept and display 480i, 480p, and 720p signals.
To connect an HDMI device, you will need:
• one HDMI cable (type A connector)
For proper operation, it is recommended that you
use a short HDMI cable. You should not encounter
difficulty if you use an HDMI cable that is shorter than
16.4 ft (5m).
HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate
analog audio cables are not required (see illustration
below). Some CDVs (Video CDs) may not output
digital audio signals. In that case, you may hear
sound by connecting analog audio cables. However, if
you connect analog audio cables with this connection,
the HDMI terminal on the TV will not receive the
HDMI digital audio signal and you will hear analog
audio only.
