OTHER CONNECTIONS

■Connecting an HDMI component

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital A/V (audio/ video) interface.

By connecting to an HDMI component (such as a TV), you can enjoy standard, enhanced or high-definition video as well as digital audio using a single cable.

When used in combination with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), HDMI provides a secure audio/video interface that meets the security requirements of content providers and system operators.

For further information on HDMI, visit the HDMI website at “http://www.hdmi.org/”.
