Chapter 1. Television Overview
17
TV Back Panel, continued
being shown on screen. Signals from digital channels
and FireWire (IEEE 1394) devices are converted to analog
signals. There is no video signal when copy restrictions
are in effect. Audio alone is output when a Component
input or the HDMI input is selected for recording.
7. HDMI™ 1 and 2
The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports
uncompressed standard and high-definition digital video
formats and PCM digital audio format.
Use these inputs to connect to EIA/CEA-861 compliant
devices such as a high-definition receiver or DVD player.
These inputs support 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i video
formats.
These inputs can also be used as a DVI connection with
separate analog audio inputs. An optional HDMI-to-DVI
adaptor or cable is necessary to make this connection
and may be available from your local electronics retailer.
When using the optional HDMI-to-DVI adapter, the DVI
analog audio inputs on your TV allow you to receive left
and right audio from your DVI device.
This input is HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Copy
Protection) compliant.
HDMI 2
HDMI 2 also allows the TV to display DVI or HDMI output
from a PC. To view PC video on the TV, you must activate
the PC option in NetCommand. You can do this during
initial NetCommand setup by selecting the PC option
in the Device Setup screen. To do this at any time
afterwards, use the NetCommand Add function.
To listen to audio from a PC when using PC DVI output,
you must connect the PC audio output to the TV’s DVI
Analog Audio 2, located above the HDMI 2 input.
8. DTV Link™/IEEE 139
These jacks allow the TV to connect to external IEEE 1394
digital products by means of a single cable. Two jacks
are provided for this purpose, which allow for a high
degree of flexibility for connecting your NetCommand
controlled system. Detailed information regarding
IEEE 1394 connection requirements is in Chapter 2,
“Connecting.”
9. CableCARD™ Slot
The CableCARD access card from your cable TV service
provider is inserted into this slot. The top of the card
should face in the direction indicated by CARD TOP .
CableCARD is a nationwide standard system that allows
your local cable TV provider to supply you with an
access card customized to your account. This card
allows the TV to receive, decode and unscramble the
premium digital channels included in your cable TV
subscription without the use of a cable box. See page
23 for additional CableCARD information and activation
instructions.
If your cable company is not currently offering
CableCARD access cards, you will need to use a
cable box provided and authorized by your local cable
company to view scrambled channels.
10. Digital Audio Output
This output sends Dolby® Digital or PCM digital audio to
your digital A/V surround sound receiver. Analog audio
from analog channels and devices is converted by the
TV to PCM digital audio. In most cases, this should be
the only audio connection between the TV and your A/V
receiver. If you have MP3 audio from memory cards,
however, you need to connect the TV’s analog AUDIO
OUTPUT (left and right) to your A/V receiver.
