HDMI connection
HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high-quality sound by
connecting this Projection Display and the devices.
HDMI-compatible equipment (*1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a Set Top Box or a DVD player, can be
connected to the HDMI connector using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.
HDMI is the world’s first complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard.
If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI terminal via a DVI to HDMI adapter cable (*2).
When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal.
Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI 1 in”, “HDMI 2 in” or “HDMI 3 in” menu screen. (p. 39)
Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz
(*1): The HDMI logo is displayed on an HDMI-compliant device.
(*2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.
Notes
Use with a PC is not assumed.
All signals are reformatted before being displayed on the screen.
If the connected device has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to “16:9”.
This HDMI connector is “type A”.
These HDMI connectors are compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) copyright protection.
A device having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either “COMPONENT”, “S VIDEO”, or “VIDEO”
to receive analog signals.
The HDMI input terminal can be used with only the following image signals: 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. Match the output
setting of the digital device.

About HDMI
HDMI is the first all digital consumer electronics A/V interface that supports several uncompressed standards, enhanced
and high-definition video formats as well as all existing multichannel audio formats. One jack supports both video and
audio information. The HDMI/HDCP*

compliant consumer electronic
device, such as a Set Top Box or DVD player equipped with a HDMI output connection. By inputting a High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection (HDCP) high-definition picture source to the HDMI terminal of this unit, high-definition pictures
can be displayed on the screen in their digital form. The HDMI input terminal is not intended to be used with personal
computers. This unit is compatible with 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i formats. Select the output of the connected
device to match that of the unit.
