DVI-D

A digital video connection capable of displaying 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i video resolutions from the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

media center. If 480i is not selected in HDTV Setup, video in 480i is automatically converted to 480p. If

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

your TV has an HDMI port but no DVI-D port, you may use video output from the media center with a DVI

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to HDMI conversion cable. A separate audio connection is required.
