HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a
digital interface that allows pure HD digital video
transmission without the loss of image quality.
The integrated control bus allows system control
between the TV set and connected devices like a
digital set top box.
DVS (Dolby Virtual Speaker) technology creates
a highly compelling 5.1-channel listening
experience from as few as two speakers, making
it an ideal entertainment solution for locations
where space for multiple speaker setup is limited.
