Using the HDMI port
Select computer models include an HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) port. The HDMI port
connects the computer to an optional video or audio device, such as a high-definition television, or any
compatible digital or audio component.
The computer can support one HDMI device connected to the HDMI port, while simultaneously
supporting an image on the computer display or any other supported external display. The computer
does not support the simultaneous use of a DVI display and an HDMI display.
NOTE: To transmit video signals through the HDMI port, you need an HDMI cable (purchased
separately), available from most electronics retailers.
To connect a video or audio device to the HDMI port:
1. Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI port on the computer.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the video device, according to the device manufacturer's
instructions.
3. Press fn+f4 to switch the image between the display devices connected to the computer.
