(*) HDMI Inputs are for connecting a device that has an HDMI socket.
Your LCD Television is capable of displaying High Definition pictures from devices such as a High Definition Satellite Receiver or
DVD layer. These devices must be connected via the HDMI sockets or Component Socket. These sockets can accept either 720p
or 1080i signals. Also, only HDMI modes accept 1080p signals. No sound connection is needed for an HDMI to HDMI connection.
Note: When it is desired to watch HDMI-1, HDMI-2 source with a DVI to HDMI cable, in order to enable audio, there are some
options that can be used:
- When you want to connect DVI and HDMI 1, the audio signal line must be connected to audio input in the component terminal (Y b r).
- When you want to connect DVI and HDMI 2, the audio signal line must be connected to C audio input.
