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 Player or Cable Box / Satellite receivers 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 HDMI3/DVl IN jack and the audio cables
to the HDMI3/DVI IN JR-AUDIO-L] jacks on the back of the TV. If this happens,
contact the company that provided the DVD Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver
to confirm the HDMI version, then request an upgrade.

no screen display.
