Connecting to a device equipped

DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a standard that outputs digital-
ized image data to digital display devices. Using DVI enables
the display of high quality images without degradation of the
data due to analog conversion.
The DVD-V8000 is equipped with a DVI output connector and
can be connected digitally with display devices equipped with
DVI input connectors. (Complies with DVI 1.0)
