About HDMI
HDMI is the first all digital consumer electronics A/V
interface that supports several uncompressed standards,
enhanced and high definition video formats as well as
existing multi-channel audio format. One jack supports both
video and audio information. The HDMI/HDCP
1
input can
be connected to an EIA/CEA 861
2
compliant consumer
electronic device, such as a set top box or DVD player
equipped with an HDMI or DVI output connection. By
inputting a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP) high definition picture source to the HDMI terminal
of this television, high definition pictures can be displayed
on the screen in their digital form. The HDMI input terminal
is not intended to be used with personal computers. This
television is compatible with 1080i, 480p and 480i formats.
Select the output of the connecting device to match that of
the television.
Notes:
1. HDMI/HDCP = High Definition Multimedia Interface /
High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection.
2. EIA/CEA-861 Profiles compliance covers profiles for
transmission of uncompressed digital video including
high bandwidth digital content protection.
