To connect a video or audio device to the HDMI port:

1.Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI port on the computer.

2.Connect the other end of the cable to the video device, and then refer to the device manufacturer’s instructions for additional information.

NOTE: For product-specific instructions on switching the screen image, refer to your Getting Started guide.
