• Why does Samsung use HDMI?
Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal. However, when playing a BD/DVD, the data
transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the Blu-ray Home Theater) or an
analog-to-digital converter (in the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picture quality is degraded due to
noise and signal loss, HDMI technology is superior because it requires no D/A conversion and is a pure digital
signal from the player to your TV,
