If the stereo signal is poor or the receiving conditions are not optimum or if STEREO:MONO automatic switching
occurs, it is recommended you switch from STEREO to MONO.
Even when the contents of the receiving signal undergo changes, selection mode is kept intact.
When the receiving conditions deteriorate, listening will be easier if the mode is set to the MONO position, using
the stereo / bilingual sound selection button.
DUAL, also known as DUAL MONO or as BILINGUAL is not currently transmitted in some countries.
HDMI connection
HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-definition 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, a DVD player or a
game equipment can be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.
About connections, see “External Equipment” (p. 52).
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 / 4 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
AV2 IN AUDIO terminal / HDMI4: use AV4 IN AUDIO terminals).
Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI1 / 4 Input” menu screen. (p. 30)
Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (2ch L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz
HDMI2 and 3 terminals are for digital audio signal only.
Use with a PC is not guaranteed. Only HDMI video formats indicated in the HDMI table (p. 57) are applicable.
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 only with 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. 57.
(∗1): The HDMI logo is displayed on HDMI-compliant equipment.
(∗2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.
