The HDMI [1] input on your TV receives digital audio
and uncompressed digital video 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).
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).
To connect an HDMI device, you will need:
• one HDMI cable (type A connector)
For proper operation, it is recommended that you use
a shorter 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). Some CDVs (Video CDs) may not output
digital audio signals. In that case, you may hear a
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.

[1] HDMI = High-Definition Multimedia Interface.
[2] DVI = Digital Video Interface.
[3] 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.

For proper operation, the length of an HDMI-to-DVI
adapter cable should not exceed 9.8 ft (3m). The

• 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).
