HDMI and DVI differ in their support for audio signals and use connectors that are shaped differently,
but otherwise are identical. Thus, an adapter can help you to connect to your DMP any presentation
system that supports DVI but not HDMI. When you do this, however, you must also use a separate signal
cable to transmit audio signals, or there will not be any audio.
Before You Begin
Obtain an HDMI-to-DVI adapter if your presentation system uses DVI.
Procedure
Step 1 Do only one of the following.
Step 2 If the presentation system is not already turned on, turn it On now.
