CUSTOMIZING THE FUNCTION SETTINGS

For TVs that support it, HDMI can provide the best quality audio and video output (depending on media source), and so is the preferred connection type. The HDMI cable incorporates both audio and video signals, so you will have just one cable running from the unit to your TV. Using the HDMI cable (not included), connect the HDMI OUT jack on your unit to the HDMI IN jack on your TV or HDMI-compatible display.

•When using the HDMI cable, do not connect to other analog video outputs.

•Set an output signal from the HDMI terminal of the DVD player in accordance with your TV’s input signal

to change output signals as below:

480p (progressive)

720p (progressive)

1080I (interlace)

1080p (progressive)

Notes:

•Refer to your owner’s manual to the connected TV as well.

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

•If you have a HDMI (with HDCP) equipped monitor or display, you can connect it to this player using a HDMI cable.
