HDMI (high-denition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-denition digital images and high-quality sound by connecting the TV and the equipment. HDMI-compatible equipment (1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a set top box or a DVD player, can be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable. About connections, see External Equipment (p. 40).

The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is greater than the standard 16:9, black bands may appear at the top and bottom of the screen. If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the tracking of the VCR. (See the VCR manual.)

HDMI connection

HDMI is the worlds rst complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard. If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI1 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 (HDMI1: use COMPONENT-AUDIO terminals). Audio settings can be made on the HDMI1 Input menu screen. (p. 22) Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (2ch L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz HDMI2 terminal is for digital audio signal only. Use with a PC is not assumed. If the connected equipment has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to 16:9. These HDMI connectors are type A. These HDMI connectors are compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) copyright protection. An equipment having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either COMPONENT, S-VIDEO, or VIDEO to receive analogue signals. The HDMI input terminal can be used with only the following image signals: 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. Match the output setting of the digital equipment. For details of the applicable HDMI signals, see p. 43.

Before requesting service or assistance, please follow these simple guides to resolve the problem. If the problem still persists, please contact your local Panasonic dealer for assistance.
