Connecting external devices E Before connecting ... • Be sure to turn off the TV and any devices before making any connections. • Firmly connect a cable to a terminal or terminals. • Carefully read the operation manual of each external device for possible connection types. This also helps you get the best possible audiovisual quality to maximise the potential of t\ he TV and the connected device. Introduction to connections The TV is equipped with the terminals as showed below. Find the cable corresponding the TV’s terminal and connect the device. NOTE • The cables illustrated in pages 15 to 18 are commercially available items. HDMI device (Page 16) Game console or camcorder (Page 16) Video recording device (Pages 16 and 17) HDMI Cable DVI/HDMI Cable ø 3.5 mm stereo minijack cable S-video cable * AV cable* Audio cable Component cable SCART cable or Audio cable or Optical audio cable Audio device (Page 18) or * When using an S-video cable, you also need to connect an audio cable (R\ /L). 15 L C -4 2X 20E -g b.in dd 1 5LC-42X20E-gb.indd 152007/0 9/0 4 1 6:3 1:2 12007/09/04 16:31:21
HDMI connection Connecting external devices The HDMI connections (High Definition Multimedia Interface) permit digital video and audio transmission via a connection cable from a player/recorder. The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without data compression and therefore lose none of their quality. Analogue/digital conversion is no longer necessary in the connected devices, which also would result in quality losses. DVI/HDMI conversion Using an DVI/HDMI adapter cable, the digital video signals of a DVD can also be played via the compatible HDMI connection. The sound must be fed in additionally. Both HDMI and DVI use the same HDCP copy protection method. NOTE • If a connected HDMI device is AQUOS LINK compatible, you can take advantage of versatile functions. (Pages 20 - 22) • Video noise may occur depending on the type of HDMI cable used. Make sure to use certified HDMI cable. • When playing the HDMI image, the best possible format for the picture will be detected and set automatically. Supported video signal: 576i, 576p, 480i, 480p, 1080i, 720p, 1080p See page 36 for PC signal compatibility. You will enjoy accurate colour reproduction and high quality images through the EXT 8 terminal when connecting a DVD recorder or other recording equipment.
