HDMI IN 1(DVI)

✎

, 2, 3, 4 / PC/DVI AUDIO IN

When using an HDMI/DVI cable connection, you must use the

HDMI IN 1(DVI) jack for video. A DVD, Blu-ray

player, HD cable box, HD STB satellite receiver, cable box, or STB satellite receiver may require a DVI-HDMI (DVI

to HDMI) cable or DVI-HDMI (DVI to HDMI) adapter. The PC/DVI AUDIO IN jack is required for audio

If an external device such as a DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) supporting

HDMI versions older than 1.3 is connected, the TV may operate abnormally (e.g. no screen display / no sound /

annoying ﬂicker / abnormal Color).

If there is no sound after connecting an HDMI cable, check the HDMI version of the external device. If you

suspect the version is older than 1.3, contact the provider of the device to conﬁrm the HDMI version and request

an upgrade.

It is recommended you purchase an HDMI-certiﬁed cable. Otherwise, the screen may appear blank or a connection

error may occur.

When a Digital Audio System is connected to the

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL) jack, decrease the volume

of both the TV and the system.

5.1 CH (channel) audio is available when the TV is connected to an external device supporting 5.1 CH.

When the receiver (home theater) is set to on, you can hear sound output from the TV’s optical jack. When the

a digital component such as a DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB (Set-Top-Box) satellite receiver and is

connected to the TV via HDMI, only 2 CH audio will be heard from the home theater receiver. If you want to

hear 5.1 CH audio, connect the digital audio out jack from your DVD / Blu-ray player / cable box / STB satellite

receiver directly to an amplifier or home theater.
