HDMI is the leading new standard for Digital High Definition video and audio
interconnection. Eg. with a Digital Set top box, with HDMI-equipped devices
like a PC, DVD-R, AV receiver...

Note: the HDMI connector is compatible with DVI-devices and a HDMI to DVI
conversion cable is included. (Then also connect the audio cables.)

The 

HDMI IN

connector allows 

- the following TV and monitor display modes:

EDTV

640/720 x 480p
720 x 576p

HDTV 1280 x 720p 

1920 x1080i
1152i

VGA

640 x 480

60 Hz

SVGA

800 x 600

60 Hz

&

Connect the digital HDMI output of your HD device (e.g. PC, DVD player,
Set Top  Box..) 

1

to the 

HDMI

connector of your TV.

é

In case a HD-DVI device (and if audio is present) is connected also connect
the audio cable 

2

to the 

AUDIO

outputs of your HD device and to the 

R

(right) and 

L

(left) 

HDMI (AV3)

inputs of the panel of the TV.

Notes:
- Proper working is only guaranteed with HDMI compliant consumer products.
- Digital devices from different manufacturers have the possibility of differing output

standards which may cause difficulties for the television to properly display;

- If the set is cold, there may be a small “flicker” when the set is turned on. This is

normal, there is nothing wrong with the set.

To enhance the sound reproduction of your TV you can connect an externally
powered subwoofer (between 20 and 250 Hz).

&

Connect the audio cable of the external subwoofer to the 

SUBWOOFER

socket at the bottom of your TV.

é

Select 

Subwoofer

in the Settings, General menu, p. 7.

Adjust the frequency of the external subwoofer to 100-120 Hz (according
to your personal preference) if present on the subwoofer.

Adjust the volume level of the external subwoofer, presumed this control is
present on the subwoofer.
See also the instruction manual of the external subwoofer.
