High-Defi nition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an uncompressed digital interface that carries
both video and audio data by way of an integrated mini-plug cable. Since HDMI is based on
Digital Visual Interface (DVI), the jack on the back of your TV is also compatible with devices
that have a DVI jack.
Note: The HDMI/DVI jack is not intended to be used with a computer.

Connect an HDMI cable to the HDMI/DVI INPUT jack on the back of the
