Technical Information
HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) is the world's first complete digital consumer AV interface complying
with a non-compression standard.
HDMI allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high-quality sound by connecting the TV and the
equipment.
HDMI-compatible equipment
game equipment, can be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.
For information about connections, see "External Equipment" (p. 64).
