Operation with external devices
Note:
Which television socket(s) you connect your external devices to
depends on the sockets the external device is equipped with
and the signals which are available.
Remember that with many external devices, the resolution of the
video signal must be adjusted to the input sockets of the televi-
sion (see the operating manual of the external device). You can
find out which values you need to set by referring to the guide-
lines in the section about connection options.
Note:
Do not connect any other equipment while the device is
switched on. Switch off the other devices as well before con-
necting them. Only plug the device into the mains socket after
you have connected the external devices.
High definition – HD ready
Your television can playback high-definition television signals (HDTV).
You can connect the input sources (HDTV set-top box or High Definition
DVD player) to the »
HDMI
« or »
DVI-I
« socket (digital HDTV signal).
This ensures that you can view digital HDTV programmes, even if they
are copy-protected (HDCP High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
