HDMI c onnec t i on not i c e
HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-definition digital
images and high-quality sound by connecting the TV unit and HD devices.
HDMI-compatible equipment (*1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a
Cable or Satellite box or a DVD player, can be connected to the HDMI connector using
an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.
HDMI is the world's first complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a
non-compression standard.
If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI 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 HDMI i n menu screen. Applicable audio signal
sampling frequencies (L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz
(*1): The HDMI logo is displayed on an HDMI-compliant device.
(*2): Inquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.

The HDMI terminals on this TV were not specifically designed for use with a PC.
If the connected device has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to
"16:9".
The HDMI connectors are "type A".
The HDMI connectors are compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) copyright protection.
Devices with no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of
either "COMPONENT IN", or "VIDEO IN" to receive analog signals.
The HDMI input terminal can be used only with the following video signals: 480i,
480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. Ensure that the device being connected to the TV
can produce one of these video signals.

gently using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.
If the surface is particularly dirty, after cleaning up the dust, soak a soft, lint-free
cloth in diluted mild liquid dish soap (1 part mild liquid dish soap diluted by 100
times the amount of water) and then wring the cloth to remove excess liquid. Use
this cloth to wipe the surface of the display panel, then wipe it evenly with a dry
cloth of the same type until the surface is dry.
Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingernails or other hard objects.
Furthermore, avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays,
