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 in menu screen. Applicable audio signal  
sampling frequencies (L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz

Closed caption notice  
For viewing the CC of digital broadcasting, set the aspect to FULL (If viewing with  
H-FILL, JUST, ZOOM or 4:3, characters might be cut off).  
The CC can be displayed on the TV only when the receiver (such as a Cable box  
or satellite receiver) has the CC set to ON within the device itself. Check with your  
Cable or Satellite provider for instructions. The TV's CC button does not operate  
the Satellite or Cable box's CC function.  
If the CC is set to ON on both the receiver and TV when the signal is 480i (except  
for the HDMI connection), the CC may overlap on the TV.  
If a digital program is being output in analog format, the CC data will also be output  
in analog format.  
If the recorder or output monitor is connected to the TV, the CC needs to be set up  
on the recorder or output monitor.
