Connecting external devices
HDMI connection
The HDMI connections permit digital video and audio
transmission via a connection cable from a player/
recorder. The digital picture and sound data are
transmitted without data compression and therefore
lose none of their quality. Analogue/digital conversion
is no longer necessary in the connected devices,
which also would result in quality losses.
