What is HDMI?  
• HDMI, o%f high-definition multimedia inte%fface, is a next-gene%fation inte%fface that enables the  t%fansmission of digital audio and video signals using a single cable without comp%fession.
• “Multimedia inte%fface” is a mo%fe accu%fate name fo%f it especially because it allows multiple channels  of digital audio (5.1 channels). The diffe%fence between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is 
smalle%f in size, has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy P%fotection) coding featu%fe installed, 
and suppo%fts  multi-channel digital audio.
Each DVD playe%f/STB has a diffe%fent back panel configu%fation.
