HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is a digital audio/video interface that connects
high-definition video signals, multi-channel audio signals
and control signals supporting two-way transmissions
with a single cable. High-definition images and sounds
can be enjoyed just by a simple connection since the
digital signals are not compressed for transmission.
HDMI CEC function

sounds of higher quality is used for Blu-ray discs and
DVDs.
5.1-channel surround
The “monaural” and “stereo” systems use one and two
speakers respectively to reproduce sounds. Meanwhile,
5.1-channel surround uses five speakers and one
subwoofer for sound output. The name “5.1-channel
surround” originates from its sound reproduction method
using all of five channels consisting of one center
speaker, two front speakers and two side or rear
surround speakers; as well as 0.1 channel of subwoofers
which generates a narrower sound field than other
speakers. You can enjoy 5.1-channel like surround effect

Dolby Digital and AAC from the receiving component (TV,
etc.) to the transmitting component (AV amplifier, etc.) via
an HDMI cable.

connected with an optical digital cable in order to output
the sound from a TV tuner to an amplifier. Between ARC-
compatible equipment, sound can be transmitted using
only an HDMI cable.
Bitstream
