HDMI connections

HDMI (High-Definition Multi-Media Interface) is a digital connection that can carry both
audio and video in one cable. Direct digital transfer of video and support for various
types of High Definition video content make this the best connection type for picture
quality.
As HDMI can carry both digital audio and video, HDMI can also be used to connect to
AV receivers that support this function to allow decoding of surround-sound, etc. In
the diagram at right, option 1 shows direct connection to a TV while option 2 shows
connection via a surround-sound receiver with HDMI In/Out.
DVI (Digital Video Interface) output can be supported simply by using DVI-to-HDMI
adaptors as these two connection types are compatible. When using DVI, only video
will be passed to the TV or monitor. A separate analogue or digital audio connection
would then need to be made from the DV30 to the AV receiver or TV.
