HDMI enables the secure distribution of uncompressed high-definition video and multi-channel audio in a single cable. Because digital television (DTV) signals remain in digital format, HDMI assures that pristine high-definition images retain the highest video quality from the source all the way to your television screen. Use the HDMI input for your external devices such as Set-Top-Boxes or DVD players equipped with an HDMI output connection. HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC. NOTES: 1. The HDMI input is not intended for use with personal computers. 2. Only DTV formats such as 1080i, 720p, 480i and 480p are available for HDMI input. ቫ To Monitor Connect the Monitor Connection Cable to the AVC center's "TO MONITOR" connector, and to the display monitor's "FROM AVC" connector. ቭ IR Blaster This jack provides IR output to your external components (VCR, Cable box, DVD player, etc.).
