(
1): The HDMI logo is displayed on HDMI-compliant equipment.
(
2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.
HDMI (high-de nition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-de nition digital images and high-quality sound
by connecting the TV unit and the equipment.
HDMI-compatible equipment (
1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a set top box or a DVD player, can
be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.
About connections, see "External Equipment" (p. 34).
Note
HDMI is the world's rst complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard.
If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI1 terminal via a DVI to HDMI adapter cable (
2).
When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal.
Audio settings can be made on the "HDMI1 input" menu screen. (p. 19)
Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (2ch L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz
HDMI2 terminal is for digital audio signal only.
Use with a PC is not assumed.
If the connected equipment has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to "16:9".
These HDMI connectors are "type A".
An equipment having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either "Component",
"S-VIDEO", or "Video" to receive analogue signals.
The HDMI input terminal can be used with only the following image signals:
480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p and 1080i. Match the output setting of the digital equipment.
For details of the applicable HDMI signals, see p. 37.

Note
The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is greater than the standard "16:9",
black bands may appear at the top and bottom of the screen.
If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR,
adjust the tracking of the VCR. (See the VCR manual.)
Aspect mode can be memorized for SD (Standard de nition) and HD (High de nition) signals separately.
To select the ratio manually: (Only "16:9" or "4:3" in PC mode)
The optimum size and aspect can be chosen, and you can enjoy ner images. (p. 13)
Auto aspect: Auto aspect determines the best aspect ratio to use to ll your screen. It does this using a four step
process to determine if the picture being viewed is a widescreen picture.
If Auto aspect detects a widescreen signal it switches into the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen mode. If Auto
aspect does not detect a widescreen signal then this advanced TV set enhances the picture for optimum viewing
pleasure.
The text shown on the screen indicates how Auto aspect determined which ratio to use:
"WIDE" appears in the top left of the screen if a widescreen identi cation signal (WSS) is found or a signal found
through a SCART terminal. Auto aspect switches to the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen ratio. This function
will also work in any aspect mode. "Auto aspect" appears in the top left of the screen if black stripes above and
below the picture are detected. Auto aspect chooses the best ratio and expands the picture to ll the screen. This
process can take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the picture.
