Using Network Services

DLNA®
This TV is a DLNA Certified™ product.
DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) is a standard that makes DLNA Certified digital electronics easier
and more convenient to use on a home network. To learn more, visit www.dlna.org.
It allows you to share photos, videos and music stored in a DLNA Certified media server (for example,
PC with Windows 7 installed (with suitable CODEC pack plug-in), DIGA Recorder, etc.) connected to
your home network, and enjoy them on the TV.
Supported file format

(p. 65 - 66)

Media server
Ensure the connected equipment is a DLNA Certified media server.
To use a PC, install the server software on the PC for obtaining a media server.
Store photos, videos or music into the media server, and then you can watch them on the TV.
“TwonkyMedia server 6” and “Windows 7” are the server software that has been tested to work with this
TV (current as of January, 2011).
For installing, read the manual of the server software.
● The DLNA control function of Windows 7 is not supported with this TV.
● When a server software for the media server is installed on the PC, the data may be at risk of being
accessed by other people. Please take care of the settings and connections under the network
circumstances at the office, hotel or even at home when not using a router.
By connecting a DLNA compatible DIGA Recorder to your home network, you can enjoy and control it
as one of the media servers.
● For details, read the manual of the DIGA Recorder.

The power consumption in Standby mode of the connected equipment is controlled higher or lower in
synchronisation with the TV On / Off state to reduce the consumption.
When the TV is set to Standby mode, the connected equipment is automatically set to Standby and the
power consumption in Standby mode of the connected equipment is automatically minimised.
When the TV is turned on, the connected equipment is still in Standby mode, but the power
consumption is increased to make startup time early.

HDMI connection

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the world’s first complete digital consumer AV interface
complying with a non-compression standard.
HDMI 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 DVD player, a set top box or
a game equipment, can be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.
About connections, see “External Equipment” (p. 58 - 60).

Applicable HDMI features

● Input audio signal : 2ch Linear PCM (sampling frequencies - 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz)
● Input video signal : 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p

“Input signal that can be displayed” (p. 63)
Match the output setting of the digital equipment.
● Input PC signal :
“Input signal that can be displayed” (p. 63)
Match the output setting of the PC.
● VIERA Link (HDAVI Control 5) :
[VIERA Link] (p. 53)
● Audio Return Channel2 (HDMI2 terminal only)

DVI connection

If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI terminal via a DVI to HDMI
adaptor cable3.When the DVI to HDMI adaptor cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio
input terminal (HDMI1 / 2: use AV2 audio terminals / HDMI3: use AV3 audio terminals).
Note
● Audio settings can be made on the [HDMI1 / 2 / 3 Input] in the Sound Menu. (p. 27)
● 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
“COMPONENT” or “VIDEO” to receive analogue signals.
● This TV incorporates HDMI™ technology.
1: The HDMI logo is displayed on HDMI-compliant equipment.
2: Audio Return Channel (ARC) is a function that enables the transmission of digital sound signals via an
HDMI cable.
3: Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.

PC connection

Technical Information

A PC may be connected to this TV so that the PC screen is displayed and sound is heard from the TV.
● PC signals that can be inputted: Horizontal scanning frequency 31 to 69 kHz; vertical scanning
frequency 59 to 86 Hz (more than 1,024 signal lines could result in incorrect display of the image).
● A PC adaptor is not necessary for the DOS/V-compliant D-sub 15-pin connector.
Note
● Some PC models cannot be connected to this TV.
● When using PC, set the colour display quality of PC to the highest position.
