The
unfortunate truth is that some components are not compatible with
others. Often, this is due to the use of different connection
types between the two. For HDTV, the difference could be
between an
HDMI
connection and a
DVI
one.
HDMI-to-DVI Cables to
Save the Day
If your new HDTV uses a DVI connection and your home theater receiver
accepts only HDMI for its digital video, you have no need to
panic. There are HDMI-to-DVI
cables on the market that
address this very situation. Their use is not limited to only
HDTV to receiver connections, rather
they can be used any time there is
a conflict between two components with these connections.
This includes DVD players,
HDTV
receivers,
HDTV
tuners and the list
goes on.
