Operating additional equipment
Connecting devices to the HDMI (DVI)
connections and playback
The HDMI connections (High Definition Multimedia In-
terface) permit digital video and audio transmission via
a connection cable from a player, e.g. from the Loewe
Centros 2102/2172 HD DVD recorder.
The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without data compres-
sion and therefore lose none of their quality. Analogue/digital conversion
is no longer necessary in the connected devices, which also would result
in quality losses.
Using a DVI/HDMI adapter cable, the digital video signals of a DVI player
can also be played via the compatible HDMI connection. The sound must
be fed in additionally.
HDMI and DVI both use the same copy protection method HDCP.
