What is HDMI?

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

•The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size and has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed.

➢Each DVD Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) has a different back panel configuration.

➢The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal color when DVD Player or Cable Box / Satellite receivers supporting HDMI versions older than 1.3 are connected. When connecting an older HDMI cable and there is no sound, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI IN 2 jack and the audio cables to the DVI IN (HDMI2) [R-AUDIO-L] jacks on the back of the TV. If this happens, contact the company that provided the DVD Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver to confirm the HDMI version, then request an upgrade.

➢HDMI cables that are not 1.3 may cause annoying flicker or no screen display.
