Connecting an HDMI® device
The HDMI input on your television receives digital
audio and uncompressed digital video from an
HDMI 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 consumer electronic
devices (such as a set-top box or DVD player with HDMI
output). For acceptable video signal formats, see page 86.
NOTE:
Supported Audio format: Linear PCM, Dolby Digital
(AC-3), sampling rate 32/44.1/48kHz.
Connect an HDMI cable (type A connector) to the HDMI
terminal.
For proper operation, it is recommended that you use an
HDMI cable with the HDMI Logo (
).
• 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
may not work properly with this model.
• HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate
analogue audio cables are not required (see illustration).
To view the HDMI device video, press the
o
button to select
HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3 or HDMI 4 mode.
This feature enables the audio signal of the TV to
be sent to the AV amplifier via the HDMI cable. It
will not be necessary to connect a cable from the
audio output of the TV to the audio input of the AV
amplifier to reproduce the audio received from the
tuner of the TV through the AV amplifier.
