Connections and Setup

Choosing the Best Connection to Your TV

In order to view high definition content from a disc, you will need to connect the HD DVD player to a TV with an HDMI cable or component video (Y, Pb, Pr) cables. To view 480, 720, or 1080 resolution video, use the HDMI connection or the Component video connection. Some discs may require use of the HDMI OUTPUT for viewing of high resolution material.

•When you connect the player to your TV, be sure to turn off the power and unplug both units before making any connections.

•Connect the player directly to your TV. If you connect the player to a VCR, TV/VCR combination, video selector or AV amplifier, the playback picture may be distorted due to copy protection.

•If you TV does not have an HDMI jack or component video jacks, and you can only connect to a com- posite video jack, you will not be able to see high definition content.

•Depending on a combination of the characteristics of the connected TV, resolution of the video source, and video output resolution of the player, high-resolution output may not provide the best picture. Change the output resolution according to your preferences.

HDMI

HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. HDMI transfers digital audio and uncompressed digital video on a single cable. If your TV has an HDMI jack, you don’t need to connect any other audio or video cables.

•HDMI output is digital only, DVI analog is not supported.

•HDMI is an evolving technology, so it is possible that some devices may not operate properly with this player.

Copy Protection and High Definition Viewing

HD DVD and DVD video disc creators can include copy protection instructions in their discs that prohibit the output of high definition video (original 720p or 1080i or up-converted 480i or 480p) from a component connection. If such instructions are present in the disc you are playing, you must use an HDMI connection to view the disc in a high definition format. If you view the disc through a component connection, the video will play in 480i or 480p resolution.

Multi-Channel Audio

If your TV or display does not support multi-channel audio, to use multi-channel audio you will need to either use an AV receiver that supports multi-channel audio over HDMI (set “Digital out HDMI” to “Auto” or to match the decoding capability of your equipment) or use a receiver that has a coaxial or optical SPDIF digital audio input (set “Digital audio SPDIF” to match the decoding capability of your equipment).
