Connecting an HDMI or DVI device to the
HDMI input
The HDMI input on the television receives digital audio and uncompressed digital video from an HDMI
source device, or uncompressed digital video from a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) 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 [1] consumer electronic
devices (such as a set-top box or DVD player with HDMI or
DVI output). For acceptable signal formats, see page 11.
NOTE: Some early HDMI equipment may not work properly
with the latest HDMI TV, due to the adoption of a new
standard. Please unplug the HDMI cable first and then try
setting the options in HDMI Settings to Off. See page 51.
Supported Audio format: Linear PCM, sampling rate
32/44.1/48kHz.
Connect an HDMI cable (type A connector) to the HDMI
terminal. For proper operation, it is recommended that an
HDMI cable with the HDMI Logo ( ) is used.
If the HDMI connection is capable of 1080p and/or the
television is capable of refresh rates greater than 60Hz, a
Category 2 cable will be required. Conventional HDMI/DVI
cable may not work properly with this mode.
HDMI cable transfers both video and audio. Separate
analogue audio cables are not required. See “HDMI1
Audio” on page 51.

digital video with high-bandwidth digital content protection, which is being
standardised 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 television.
