HDMI™ (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is for use with
a DVD, decoder or electrical equipment with digital audio and
video output. It is designed for best performance with 1080i
and 1080p high-definition video signals but will also accept
and display VGA, 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p and 720p signals.
NOTE:
Although this television is able to connect to HDMI
equipment it is possible that some equipment may not operate
correctly.
A wide variety of external equipment can be connected
to the back of the television, therefore the relevant
owners manuals for
all
additional equipment must be
referred to.
We recommend
