(selected models). When enabled, the wireless status
indicator will light. Windows software settings are necessary
before use.

Antenna Input (on selected models)

The antenna input is for TV frequency signal and for

use with the provided digital TV antenna or input from
subscription television services.

HDMI

HDMI Port

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an

uncompressed all-digital audio/video interface between
any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player,
and A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such
as a digital television (DTV). Supports standard, enhanced,
or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio
on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and
supports 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare
to accommodate future enhancements or requirements.

USB Port (3.0) (on selected models)

The USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is compatible with USB

3.0, 2.0, or USB 1.1 devices such as keyboards, pointing
devices, cameras, hard disk drives, printers, and scanners
connected in a series up to 4.8Gbits/sec (USB 3.0),
480Mbits/sec (USB 2.0), and 12Mbits/sec (USB 1.1). USB
allows many devices to run simultaneously on a single
computer, with some peripherals acting as additional
plug-in sites or hubs. USB supports hot-swapping of devices
so that most peripherals can be connected or disconnected
without restarting the computer.
