happens, the magnetic field produced by the

humming noise from the speakers.

About HDMI

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
was developed to provide the technologies of
High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
in one specification. HDCP is used to protect
digital content transmitted and received by
DVI-compliant displays.
Note
1 If the video signal does not appear on your TV, try adjusting the resolution settings on your component or display. Note that
some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be displayed. In this case, use a (analog)
composite connection.
HDMI has the capability to support standard,
enhanced, or high-definition video plus
standard to multi-channel surround-sound
audio. HDMI features include uncompressed
digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes
per second (with HDTV signals), one connector
(instead of several cables and connectors), and
communication between the AV source and
AV devices such as DTVs.
Even if you connect the playback components
with an HDMI cable, no sound will come out of
the speaker connected to this receiver. An
audio cable connection is also needed for this.
