High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a format for high definition video and audio input and output. Basically, a user is capable of connecting an input device such as a DVD player or cable receiver box to an output device such as a TV using one HDMI and get both high-definition video input and high-resolution audio input with that one cable. To embed audio in HDMI, all you need to do is connect your TV to whatever input device you have.
Instructions
1. Plug an HDMI cable to the HDMI output port of an input device that also transmits sound such as a home theater sound system, cable or satellite receiver box, DVD player or Blu-Ray player. Note that older models of these devices might not have HDMI output ports and will not be capable of transmitting anything with an HDMI cable.
2. Plug the other end of the HDMI cable into your digital TV set's HDMI input port. Note that like older input devices, older TV sets such as analogue TV sets might not have HDMI input ports and will not be capable of receiving anything with an HDMI cable. Note also that the HDMI cable's connectors are interchangeable.
3. Power on both the input device and the TV set and increase the volume on your TV set. Audio will be embedded into the HDMI cable and transmitted to the TV from the input device if, and only if, the input device is transmitting audio. For example, if you are playing a movie on a DVD player, then you will get audio on your TV so long as the TV is not on "Mute" or with the volume turned down.
