You can use an HDMI jack to connect a DVI device to your TV. You need to attach an HDMI-to-DVI adapter to the end of the HDMI cable that connects to the DVI device.

Cautions

Check the jacks for position and type before making any connections.

Loose connections can result in image or color problems. Make sure that all connections are tight and secure.

The external audio/video equipment shown may be different from your equipment. If you have questions, refer to the documentation that came with your equipment.

Always unplug the power cord when connecting external equipment.
