ቧ 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.
