Image sound may not be available f the first few seconds when the playback starts. Image sound may not be available f the first few seconds when Input mode is switched. Volume function will be displayed when adjusting the volume of the equipment. If you connect the same kind of equipment at once (f example: one DIGA to HDMI 1 / another DIGA to HDMI 2), VIERA Link is available f the terminal with the smaller number. If you connect equipment that has HDAVI Control 2 ( me) function to the TV with HDMI cable, the sound from DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal can be output as multi channel surround. HDAVI Control 3 is the newest standard (current as of December, 2007) f the HDAVI Control compatible equipment. This standard is compatible with the conventional HDAVI equipment. HDMI connection HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high-quality sound by connecting the TV unit and the devices. HDMI-compatible equipment (*1) with an HDMI DVI output terminal, such as a set-top box a DVD player, can be connected to the HDMI connect using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable. HDMI is the wld 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 1 in, HDMI 2 in HDMI 3 in menu screen. (p. 22) 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): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop. Caution Use with a PC is not assumed. All signals are refmatted befe being displayed on the screen.
