CONNECTING AN EQUIPMENT SOURCE WITH HDMI
OR DVI CAPABILITY TO HDMI 1, HDMI 2 & HDMI 3
Connect the HDMI or DVI to HDMI connection cable from the 1.
output of the HDTV set top box or DVD player to the HDMI
input as shown near the Rear panel at right.
With DVI output devices, connect a DVI to HDMI cabel to the 2.
HDMI 3 input. Connect the audio out L and R cables to DVI
Audio Input or connect the audio cables from the Audio output
jack from the HDTV set top box or DVD player to an external
audio amplifier as shown to the right.
Press the INPUT button, then select HDMI 1 or 2 or 3 to view 3.
the program from the HDTV SET-TOP BOX or DVD player.
Completely insert the connection cord plugs when •
connecting to the rear panel jacks. The picture and
sound that is played back will be abnormal if the
connection is loose.
When using a DVI to HDMI cable, connect the Audio
•
Out L and R cables to an external audio amplifier.
The HDMI input on HDMI 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 contains
•
the copy protection system called High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection (HDCP). HDCP is a
cryptographic system that encrypts video signals
when using HDMI connections to prevent illegal
copying of video contents.
HDMI is not a “NETWORK” technology. It
•
establishes a one-way, point-to-point connection for
delivery of uncompressed video to a display.
The connected digital output device controls the
•
HDMI interface, so proper set-up of device user
settings determines final video appearance.
Only HDMI3 can support DVI audio input.
