HDMI connection
Connecting external devices
The HDMI connections (High Definition Multimedia
Interface) permit digital video and audio transmission
via a connection cable from a player/recorder. The
digital picture and sound data are transmitted without
data compression and therefore lose none of their
quality. Analogue/digital conversion is no longer
necessary in the connected devices, which also would
result in quality losses.
DVI/HDMI conversion
Using an DVI/HDMI adapter cable, the digital video
signals of a DVD can also be played via the compatible
HDMI connection. The sound must be fed in
additionally.
Both HDMI and DVI use the same HDCP copy
protection method.
NOTE
•
If a connected HDMI device is AQUOS LINK compatible, you
can take advantage of versatile functions. (Pages 20 - 22)
• Video noise may occur depending on the type of HDMI
cable used. Make sure to use certified HDMI cable.
• When playing the HDMI image, the best possible format for
the picture will be detected and set automatically.
Supported video signal:
576i, 576p, 480i, 480p, 1080i, 720p, 1080p
See page 36 for PC signal compatibility.
You will enjoy accurate colour reproduction and
high quality images through the EXT 8 terminal
