How to connect the HDMI Input Terminal

About HDMI

HDMI is the first all digital consumer electronics A/V interface that supports several uncompressed standard,
enhanced and high definition video format as well as all existing multi-channel audio formats. One jack supports
both video and audio information. The HDMI/HDCP*1 input can be connected to an EIA/CEA 861/861B*2 compliant
consumer electronic device, such as a set top box or DVD player equipped with a HDMI output connection. By
inputting a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) high definition picture source to the HDMI terminal of
this unit, 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 unit is compatible with 1080i, 720p and 480p formats. Select the
output of the connected device to match that of the unit.
