™
input
The HDMI
™
input on your TV receives digital audio and uncompressed
digital video from an HDMI
™
source device, or uncompressed digital
video from a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) source device.
This input is designed to accept HDCP (High- Bandwidth Digital-Content
Protection) program material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861-D–
compliant[1] consumer electronic devices (such as a set-top box or DVD
player with HDMI
™
or DVI output).
The HDMI
™
input can accept and display VGA, SVGA, XGA, WXGA,
SXGA, 480i (60Hz), 480p (60Hz), 720p (60Hz), 1080i (60Hz), 1080p
(24Hz/30Hz/60Hz), and 4K video signal formats. For detailed signal
specications, see “HDMI™ signal formats” on page 185 and “4K
Video Support formats” on page 186.
The supported Audio formats are Linear PCM and Dolby
®
Digital,
sampling rate 32/44.1/ 48 kHz.
NOTE
To connect a PC to the HDMI™ input, see “Connect a computer to the TV’s
HDMI™ terminal” on page 44.
We cannot guarantee that all 4K video input through HDMI terminals will be
displayed.
To connect an HDMI
™
device, you will need one HDMI
™
cable (type A
connector) per HDMI
™
device:
❖
For proper operation, it is recommended that you use an HDMI
™
cable with the HDMI
™

To display an 1080p/60Hz and 4K signal format, you will need a
High Speed HDMI
™

not work properly.

HDMI
™
cables transfer both video and audio. Separate analog audio
cables are not required (see illustration).
