What is HDMI?
• HDMI, or high-definition multimedia interface, is a next-generation interface that enables
the transmission of digital audio and video signals using a single cable without
compression.
• “Multimedia interface” is a more accurate name for it especially because it allows
multiple channels of digital audio (5.1 channels).
The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size, has
the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed, and
supports multi-channel digital audio.
➢
Each external input source device has a different back panel configuration.
➢
When connecting an external device, match the color of the connection terminal to the cable.
➢
When connecting via HDMI, you do not need to connect Audio Cables. You only need to connect Audio
cables when connecting via HDMI/DVI.
Connecting a Digital Audio System
The rear panel jacks on your TV make it easy to connect a Digital Audio System to your TV.
1.

Coaxial Cable between the
