HDMI connection
Example of connectable devices
●DVD player/recorder ● Blu-ray player/recorder

The HDMI connections permit digital video and audio transmission via a connection cable from a player/ recorder. The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without data compression and therefore lose none of their quality. Analogue/digital conversion is no longer necessary in the connected devices, which also would result in quality losses.
