The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size, has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed, and supports multi-channel digital audio. Each external input source device has a different back panel configuration. When connecting an external device, match the color of the connection terminal to the cable. For 40 inch model, use the cables with the ferrite core. Connecting a Digital Audio System The rear panel jacks on your TV make it easy to connect a Digital Audio System to your TV.
