HDMI connection
The HDMI connection (High Defi niton Multimedia Interface) allows digital
picture and sound transmission via a connecting cable, e.g. from DVD
players. The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without data
compression and therefore lose none of their quality. No analogue/digital
conversion is necessary in the connected equipment which also led to
losses in quality.
DVI signals can be also be reproduced by the HDMI connection using a
DVI/HDMI adapter cable. This is possible because HDMI is based on DVI
and is downward compatible. That means that the digital video signals
are transmitted via HDMI. In addition both use the same copy protection
method HDCP.
Connect the DVD player or other audiovisual equipment with an HDMI
cable (type A, 19-pin) to the EXT 5 socket of the TV set. Log in the EXT 5
connection in the connection wizard (“TV menu” – “Connections” – “New
devices/modifi cations”).
Select the HDMI connection in the AV selection.
Call AV selection.

Start playback on the connected device with HDMI connection.
The best possible formats for picture and sound are detected and set

No sound is transmitted when a DVI/HDMI adapter cable is used for
transmission. You can feed in the appropriate analogue sound via the
audio input sockets AUDIO IN L/R on the TV set. The sound is played
over the TV loudspeakers.
If you have connected a digital external audio amplifi er, you can select
the digital audio signal in the connection wizard (TV menu - Connections
- New devices/modifi cations) and assign it to the EXT 5 socket. You
do the other settings for the audio amplifi er as described for the digital
amplifi er on page 33. The digital audio signal of the DVI audio source is
fed in at the AUDIO DIGITAL IN socket on the TV. The digital audio signal
from the TV AUDIO DIGITAL OUT is fed to the amplifi er.
VGA/XGA connection
You can connect a PC or a Set Top Box (STB) and therefore use the TV
screen as an output device.
Connect the PC/STB with a VGA cable to the PC IN socket on the TV.
When connecting to a PC you set one of the following screen resolutions
on your PC fi rst. 800x600 60Hz (SVGA) or 1024x768 60Hz (XGA).
When a Set Top Box is connected you set the following screen resolu-
tions according to the possibilities of the Set Top Box:
698x576i (PAL), 698x480i (NTSC) .
720x480i, 720x 576i (SDTV - standard modes in STB).
1280x720p, 1920x1080i (HDTV modes).
Select the VGA/XGA connection in the AV selection.
