You can connect HDMI-compatible devices to the unit.

Connections with an HDMI cable offer the following benefits that can not be achieved with other connection methods.

High quality playback by transmitting audio and video via digital signals

HDMI connections can transmit high definition video and high quality audio formats (Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, dts-HD, dts-HD Master Audio).

HDMI connections also convey information required for playback between devices. The information is used for copyright protection and TV resolution recognition, the HDMI control function, etc.

Transmission of audio and video signals with a single HDMI cable

Previous connections require multiple audio and video cables, but HDMI connections require only a single HDMI cable to transmit audio and video signals. This allows wires in a home theater system, which tend to be complicated, to be more organized.
