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. ➢ When connecting via HDMI, you do not need to connect Audio Cables. You only need to connect Audio cables when connecting via HDMI/DVI. Connecting a Digital Audio System 1.
