Connections & SetupChapter 1 17How to Connect: TV + Set-top Box Using DVI-HDTV (Digital Visual Interface)Digital Visual Interface is a specification created by the Digital Display Working Group to supportanalog and digital signals on a single interface. This uncompressed digital video interface is becomingmore prevalent and is expected to become widely used for digital display components. The ideabehind the connector is that it could eventually replace the 15-pin VGA connector in consumerelectronic components.There are three different DVI formats: DVI-A for analog signals, DVI-D for digital signals, andDVI-I for integrated signals (both analog and digital).Your TV has a DVI-D format connector and supports some digital signals. The format is used fordirect digital connections between source video and provides a higher-quality image than analog. Iteliminates the analog conversion process and improves the connection.You should know:• A DVI cable has a 15 feet (5 meters) distance limitation.• Audio information is carried separately; therefore, connect audio left and right cables.VIDEOINPUT 1AUDIOINPUT 1L/ MONORVIDEOINPUT 2AUDIOINPUT 2S-VIDEOS-VIDEOVIDEOINPUT 3AUDIOINPUT 3VL/ MONORVL/ MONORVP BYP RL/MONORVIDEOINPUT 4AUDIOINPUT 4 AUDIOINPUT 5L/ MONORVP BYP R VIDEOINPUT 5RLLEFTEXTSPEAKERSELECT INTERNALSPEAKERSOURCEEXTERNAL AMPLIFIERMAXIMUM POWER RATING(60 WATTS into 8 OHMS)CENTER CHANNEL INPUTRIGHT FIXED/VARIABLEAUDIOOUTPUTEXTERNAL SPEAKERSTV EXT AMPINT W/EXTSURRANTENNA BINPUT ANTENNA AINPUTETHERNETG-LINKVIDEORECORDOUTPUTAUDIORLDIGITALAUDIOOUTPUTTVDVI-HDTVLRHD Set Top BoxDVI-D ConnectorDVI Cable(not provided)
