CONNECTING EXTERNAL VIDEO SOURCES

CONNECTING A COMPONENT SOURCE WITH HDMI or DVI CAPABILITY TO INPUT 1 or INPUT 2

Connect the HDMI or DVI to HDMI connection cable from the output of the HDTV set top box or DVD player to the HDMI
input as shown on the AVC Center below.

With DVI output, connect the cable from the AUDIO OUT R of the HDTV set top box or DVD player to the INPUT (AUDIO/R)
jack.

With DVI output, connect the cable from the AUDIO OUT L of the HDTV set top box or DVD player to the INPUT (AUDIO/L)
jack.

Press the INPUTS button, then select INPUTS 1 or 2 to view the program from the HDTV set top box or DVD player. The VIDEO
OSD label disappears automatically after approximately four seconds.

Select ANT A or B from the INPUTS menu to return to the previous channel.

NOTES:

1. Completely insert the connection cord plugs when connecting to rear panel jacks. The picture and sound that is

played back will be abnormal if the connection is loose.

2. The HDMI input on INPUT 1 or 2 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.

3. HDMI is not a “NETWORK” technology. It establishes a one-way point-to-point connection for delivery of

uncompressed video to a display.

4. The connected digital output device controls the HDMI interface so proper set-up of device user settings determines

final video appearance.
