The HDMI
[1]
input on your TV receives digital audio and
uncompressed digital video from an HDMI device or
uncompressed digital 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).
The HDMI input is designed for best performance with 720p
signals but will also accept and display 1080i, 480i, and 480p
signals.

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.
Note: 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.
To connect a DVI device, you will need:
• one HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable (HDMI type A
connector) per DVI device
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 per DVI
device
An HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable transfers video only.
Separate analog audio cables are required (see
illustration below).
See “Setting the HDMI audio mode” on page 55.

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 as
short an HDMI cable as possible.
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.
