Connecting an HDMI® or DVI
device to the HDMI input
The HDMI input on your television receives digital
audio and uncompressed digital video from an
HDMI source device or uncompressed digital
video from a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) source
device.
This input is designed to accept HDCP (High-Bandwidth
Digital-Content Protection) programme material in digital
form from EIA/CEA-861-D–compliant
[1]
consumer electronic
devices (such as a set-top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI
output). For acceptable video signal formats, see page 97.
NOTE:
• Some early HDMI equipment may not work properly with
your latest HDMI TV, due to the adoption of a new standard.
Please unplug your HDMI cable first and then try setting the
INSTAPORT™

Enable Content Type
options to “

”.
Your early HDMI source should operate properly with your
television. See page 83.

• If your HDMI connection is capable of 1080p and/or your
television is capable of refresh rates greater than 50Hz, you
will need a Category 2 cable. Conventional HDMI/DVI cable
