Cable/Adapter Name Description
HDMI cable HDMI transmits an all-digital signal. It is the
recommended choice for playback from a DVD
or DVR.
HDMI is capable of transmitting both
uncompressed digital audio and digital video
signals, because it has video, audio, and control
signals.
DVI cable DVI transmits an all-digital video signal.
VGA cable VGA transmits an analog video signal.
NOTE: When using a VGA or DVI signal, you must connect your audio separately because a VGA or DVI signal
converts only video data, not audio data. A separate audio connection is not necessary when you use an HDMI
signal, because an HDMI signal can convert both video and audio data.
