HDMI, or high-definition multimedia interface, is a next-generation interface that enables the transmission of digital audio and video signals using a single cable.

“Multimedia interface” is a more accurate name for it especially because it allows multiple channels of digital audio (5.1 channels). The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size, has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed, and supports multi-channel digital audio.

Each DVD Player/Set-top box has a different panel configuration.

When connecting a DVD Player/Set-top box, match the color of the connection terminal to the cable.

When connecting via HDMI, you do not need to connect Audio Cables. You only need to connect Audio cables when connecting via HDMI/DVI.

The external devices that support lower versioned HDMI mode may not implement sound output for the TV with the latest HDMI version (HDMI 1.3).

In this case, connect to HDMI2/DVI IN and DVI IN [R-AUDIO-L] on the back panel of the TV.

Part of lower versioned HDMI cables may cause annoying flickers or no screen display. In this case use the cable that supports the latest HDMI version (HDMI 1.3).
