Connecting an HDMI™ or a DVI device to the HDMI input
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 which is shorter
than 16.4ft (5m).
HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate
analog audio cables are not required (see illustration
below).
You must set the HDMI setting to HDMI in the
AUDIO menu (see page 41).
Some CDVs (Video CDs) may not output digital audio
signals. In that case, you may hear sound by connecting
analog audio cables. If you connect analog audio cables
with this connection (see “To connect a DVI device, you
will need” in right column).

An HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable transfers only video.
Separate analog audio cables are required (see
