Using the HDMI port
NOTE:
To transmit video signals through the HDMI port, you need an HDMI cable (purchased
separately), available from most electronics retailers.
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.
NOTE:
A Blu-ray movie, or any protected high-definition video content, cannot be simultaneously
shown on an HDMI device and on another display.
To connect a video or audio device to the HDMI port:
1.
Connect one end of the HDMI cable to 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.
NOTE:
A device connected to the HDMI port will continue to play the audio on the computer speakers.
To play the audio through the HDMI device, you must manually switch the audio to that device.
