•HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI is an interface to enable the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a single connector. Using HDMI, the DVD player transmits a digital video and audio signal and displays a vivid picture on a TV having an HDMI input jack.

•HDMI connection description

HDMI connector - Both uncompressed video data and digital audio data (LPCM or Bit Stream data).

-Though the player uses a HDMI cable, the player outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.

-If TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital content protection), snow noise appears on the screen.

•Why does Samsung use HDMI?

Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal. However, when playing a DVD, the data transmitted to a TV is digital.

DVI technology is superior because it requires no D/A conversion and is a pure digital sig- nal from the player to your TV.
