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.
