Connecting an HDMI
device to the HDMI input
The HDMI input on your television receives digital
audio and uncompressed digital video from an
HDMI source device or uncompressed digital
video from a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) source
device.

Digital-Content Protection) programme material in digital
form from EIA/CEA-861-D–compliant
electronic devices (such as a set-top box or DVD player with
HDMI or DVI output). For acceptable video signal formats,
