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 DVl 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 / Blu-ray Player or Cable Box /
Satellite receiver 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 1 (DVl) jack and the audio cables to the PC/DVl AUDIO IN jacks on the back of
the TV. If this happens, contact the company that provided the DVD / Blu-ray 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.
