    The cord doesn't come in the box. It's a really common cord though and you could find one cheap online or if you are in a rush you can pick one up at Best Buy etc

    HDMI combines DVI (digital video signal) and Audio together in one lead with it's own unique connector. It's now pretty standard on Modern Video equipment.
