The HDMI
[1]
input on your TV receives uncompressed
digital video and audio from an HDMI device or
uncompressed video from a DVI
[2]
device.
This input is designed to accept HDCP
[3]
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
[5]
).
The HDMI input is designed for best performance with
1080i high-definition video signals, but will also accept
and display 480i, 480p, and 720p signals.
Note: This TV is not intended for connection
to and should not be used with a PC (personal
computer).

HDMI, the HDMI logo, and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are

To connect a DVI device, you will need:
• one HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable
(HDMI type A connector)
For proper operation, the length of an 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 connect an HDMI device, you will need:
• one HDMI cable (type A connector)
For proper operation, the length of an HDMI cable
should not exceed 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) do not output digital
audio signals and may require separate analog audio
cables. 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.

HDMI = High-Definition Multimedia Interface.

DVI = Digital Video Interface.

HDCP = High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection.
[4]
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. You should confirm that the device you
want to connect to the HDMI input will operate with the input
by testing the device with the TV.

Consult your consumer electronics dealer for availability.
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.
