HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is an interface to enable the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a single
connector. Using HDMI, the DVD player transmits a digital video and audio signal and displays a vivid
picture on a TV having an HDMI input jack.
●
HDMI connection description
HDMI connector - Both uncompressed video data and digital audio data (LPCM or Bit Stream data).
- Though the player uses a HDMI cable, the player outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.
- If TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), snow noise appears on the
screen.

Why does Samsung use HDMI?
Analog
TVs require an analog video/audio signal. However, when playing a DVD, the data transmitted to
a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the DVD player) or an analog-to-digital
converter (in the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picture quality is degraded due to noise and
signal loss.
