HDMI = High-Definition Multimedia Interface.

DVI = Digital Video Interface.

HDCP = High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection.

EIA/CEA-861/861B compliance covers the transmission of
uncompressed digital video with high-bandwidth digital
content protection, which is being standardized for reception
of high-definition video signals. Because this is an evolving
technology, it is possible that some devices may not operate
properly with the TV.
Connecting an HDMI or a DVI device to the HDMI input
HDMI, the HDMI logo, and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are
trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing, LLC.
To ensure that the HDMI or DVI device is reset
properly, it is recommended that you follow
these procedures:
• When turning on your electronic components,
turn on the TV first
, and then the HDMI or
DVI device.
• When turning off your electronic components,
turn off the HDMI or DVI device first
, and
then the TV.
To connect a DVI device, you will need:
• one HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable
(HDMI type A connector)
For proper operation, the length of an HDMI-to-
DVI adapter cable should not exceed 9.8 ft (3m).
The recommended length is 6.6 ft (2m).
• one pair of standard analog audio cables
An HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable transfers only video.
Separate analog audio cables are required (see
illustration below).

The HDMI
[1]
input on your TV receives digital audio
and uncompressed digital video and audio from an
HDMI device or uncompressed digital video from a
DVI
[2]
device.
This input is designed to accept HDCP
[3]
program
material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861/861B–
compliant
[4]
consumer electronic devices (such as a set-
top box or DVD player with HDMI or DVI output).
The HDMI input is designed for best performance
with 1080i high-definition video signals, but will also
accept and display 480i, 480p, and 720p signals.
Note: This TV is not intended for connection
to and should not be used with a personal
computer.
To connect an HDMI device, you will need:
• one HDMI cable (type A connector)
For proper operation, it is recommended that you use
a short HDMI cable. You should not encounter
difficulty if you use an HDMI cable shorter than 16.4
ft (5m).
HDMI cable transfers both video and audio.
Separate analog audio cables are not required (see
illustration below). Some CDVs (video CDs) may
not output digital audio signals. In that case, you
may hear sound by connecting analog audio cables.
However, if you connect analog audio cables with
this connection, the HDMI terminal on the TV will
not receive the HDMI digital audio signal and you
will hear analog audio only.
