HDMI is a next-generation digital interface for consumer electronic products. Unlike  
conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital video and audio signals on  
a single cable. This unit supports high-definition video output (1080p,1080i) from HDMI  
AV OUT terminal. To enjoy high-definition video a high definition compatible television  
is required.  
HDMI can transmit more video data in Deep Color mode for expressing more colors.  
To enjoy video in Deep Color mode a television which supports Deep Color mode is  
required.  
Connected to the Deep Color compatible television, this unit can automatically output  
video in Deep Color mode.
