This TV is able to connect with HDMI devices. But it is possible that some HDMI devices may not operate
properly with this TV.
Connecting an HDMI
™
or a DVI device
to the HDMI input
The HDMI input on your TV receives digital audio
and uncompressed digital video from an HDMI
source device or uncompressed digital video from
a DVI device.
This input is designed to accept HDCP (High-
Bandwidth Digital-Content Protection) program
material in digital form from EIA/CEA-861/861B
–
compliant 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 video signals, but will also accept and
display 480i, 480p, and 720p signals.
EIA/CEA-861/861B compliance covers the transmission of
uncompressed digital video with high-bandwidth digital
content protection, the technology of 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.
Note:
The HDMI jack is not intended for connection to
and should not be used with a personal computer. For
PC connection, see
page 17

For proper operation, it is recommended that you use
as short an HDMI cable as possible. You should not
encounter difficulty if you use an HDMI cable shorter
