 HDMI connection
HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-d\
efinition 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, su\
ch 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 ter\
minal via a DVI to HDMI adapter cable (*2). 
●When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to t\
he audio input terminal. 
●Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI1 input”, “HDMI2 input”\
 or “HDMI3 input” menu screen. (p. 31)
Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (L.PCM):  48 kHz, 44.1 kH\
z, 32 kHz
  (*1):  The HDMI logo is displayed on an HDMI-compliant device. 
  (*2):  Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.
Caution
 
●All signals are reformatted before being displayed on the screen. 
●If the connected device has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspec\
t ratio to “16:9”. 
●These HDMI connectors are “type A”. 
●These HDMI connectors are compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) copyright protection. 
●A device having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input \
terminal of either “COMPONENT”, or “VIDEO” to 
receive analog signals.
 
●The HDMI input terminal can be used with only the following image signal\
s:  480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p.
Match the output setting of the digital device.
 
●For details of the applicable HDMI signals, see p. 39.
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal
You can enjoy your Home theater by connecting a Dolby Digital (5.1 chann\
el) decoder and “Multi Channel” amplifier to the 
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminals. 
Caution
 
●Depending on your DVD player and DVD-Audio software the copyright protec\
tion function may operate and disable optical 
output.
 
●When an ATSC channel is selected, the output from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack will be Dolby Digital. When an NTSC 
channel is selected, the output will be PCM.
 
●When playing a movie on SD Card Movie player, when the sound has been recorded in Dolby Digital, the output from the\
 
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal will be Dolby Digital. When the sound is recorded in other for\
mats, the output will be PCM.
  Closed Caption (CC)
 
●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 provi\
der 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.

 Care and Cleaning
First, unplug the Power cord plug from the wall outlet.
Display panel
The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the pane\
l surface gently, using only a cleaning cloth or a soft, 
lint-free cloth.
 
●If the surface is particularly dirty, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in diluted, mild liquid dish soap (1 par\
t mild liquid dish soap diluted 
by 100 times the amount of water) and then wring the cloth to remove ex\
cess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the 
display panel, then wipe it evenly with a dry cloth of the same type unt\
il 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, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the \
quality of the surface may be adversely affected.
Cabinet
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. 
●If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in diluted, mild liquid dish soap and then wring the cl\
oth dry. Use this cloth to 
wipe the cabinet and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.
 
●Do not allow any mild liquid dish soap to come into direct contact with \
the surface of the LCD TV. 
If water droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may result.
 
●Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents, a\
nd thinner; otherwise, the quality of the cabinet surface 
may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off. 
 
●Do not let articles made from rubber or PVC be in contact with the TV for long periods of time.
Pedestal
Cleaning: 
●Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is particularly di\
rty, clean it using a cloth soaked with water to which a small 
amount of mild liquid dish soap has been added and then wipe with a dry \
cloth.
Do not use products such as solvents, thinner, or household wax for cleaning, as they can damage the surface coating.\
 
(If using a chemically-treated cloth, follow the instructions supplied \
with the cloth.)
 
●Do not attach sticky tape or labels, as they can make the surface of the\
 pedestal dirty. Do not allow long-term contact with 
rubber, vinyl products, or the like. (Doing so will cause deterioration.)
Power cord plug
Wipe the plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. (Moisture and dust\
 can lead to fire or electrical shock.)
