About HDMI
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) 
supports both video and audio on a single 
digital connection for use with DVD players, 
DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI 
was developed to provide the technologies of 
High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection 
(HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) 
in one specification. HDCP is used to protect 
digital content transmitted and received by DVI-
compliant displays.
HDMI has the capability to support standard, 
enhanced, or high-definition video plus 
standard to multi-channel surround-sound 
audio. HDMI features include uncompressed 
digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes 
per second (with HDTV signals), one connector 
(instead of several cables and connectors), and 
communication between the AV source and AV 
devices such as DTVs.
This receiver is also compatible with the 
DeepColor and x.v.Color feature (x.v.Color is 
trademarks of Sony Corporation).
HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition 
Multimedia Interface are trademarks or
