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. 32). 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 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. 20) 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. 36. (1): The HDMI logo is displayed on HDMI-compliant equipment. (2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.

(p. 13) ŶAuto: Auto aspect determines the best aspect ratio to use to fill your screen. It does this using a four step process to determine if the picture being viewed is a widescreen picture. If Auto aspect detects a widescreen signal it switches into the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen mode. If Auto aspect does not detect a widescreen signal then this advanced TV enhances the picture for optimum viewing pleasure. The text shown on the screen indicates how Auto aspect determined which ratio to use: “WIDE” appears in the top left of the screen if a widescreen identification signal (WSS) is found or a signal found through a SCART terminal. Auto aspect switches to the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen ratio. This function will also work in any aspect mode. “Auto” appears in the top left of the screen if black stripes above and below the picture are detected. Auto aspect chooses the best ratio and expands the picture to fill the screen. This process can take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the picture.
