What is HDMI?
HDMI, or high-definition multimedia interface, is an interface that enables the transmission of digital audio and video signals using a single
cable.
The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size and has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy
Protection) coding feature installed.
Each DVD Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) has a different back panel configuration.
The TV may not output sound and pictures may be displayed with abnormal color when DVD Player or Cable Box / Satellite receivers
supporting HDMI versions older than 1.3 are connected. When connecting an older HDMI cable and there is no sound, connect
the HDMI cable to the HDMI IN 2 jack and the audio cables to the DVI IN (HDMI2) [R-AUDIO-L] jacks on the back of the TV. If this
happens, contact the company that provided the DVD Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver to confirm the HDMI version, then request
an upgrade.
HDMI cables that are not 1.3 may cause annoying flicker or no screen display.
