HDMI features
HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) is the world's first complete digital
consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard.
HDMI allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high-quality
sound by connecting the TV and the equipment.
HDMI-compatible equipment with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a
DVD player, a set top box or game equipment, can be connected to the HDMI
terminal using a fully wired HDMI compliant cable.
