HDMI1 (High Definition Multimedia Interface) (INPUT 1)

About HDMI

HDMI is the next-generation all digital interface for consumer electronics. HDMI enables the secure distribution of uncompressed

high-definition video and multi-channel audio in a single cable. Because digital television (DTV) signals remain in digital format,

HDMI assures that pristine high-definition images retain the highest video quality from the source all the way to your television

screen.

Use the HDMI input for your external devices such as Set-Top-Boxes or DVD players equipped with an HDMI output connection.

HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC.

NOTES: 1. The HDMI input is not intended for use with personal computers.
