Name

Description

 

HDMI cable

HDMI transmits an all-digital signal. It is the

 

 

recommended choice for playback from a DVD

 

 

or DVR.

 

 

HDMI is capable of transmitting both

 

 

uncompressed digital audio and digital video

 

 

signals, because it has video, audio, and control

 

 

signals.

 

DVI cable

DVI transmits an all-digital video signal.

VGA cable

VGA transmits an analog video signal.

NOTE: When using a VGA or DVI signal, you must connect your audio separately because a VGA or DVI signal converts only video data, not audio data. A separate audio connection is not necessary when you use an HDMI signal, because an HDMI signal can convert both video and audio data.

3–6 Features may vary by model.
