HDMI connection
The HDMI connections (High Defi nition Multimedia Interface) permit digital video and audio transmission via a connection cable from a player.
The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without data compression and therefore lose none of their quality. Analogue/digital conversion is no longer necessary in the connected devices, which also would result in quality losses.
HDMI/DVI conversion
Using a DVI/HDMI adapter cable, the digital video signals of a DVD can also be played via the compatible HDMI connection. The sound must be fed in additionally. (Page 10)
HDMI and DVI both use the same copy protection method HDCP.
NOTE
•Video noise may occur depending on the type of HDMI cable used. Make sure to use certifi ed HDMI cable.
•When playing the HDMI image, the best possible format for the picture will be detected and set automatically.
Supported video signal:
VGA, 625i (576i), 625p (576p), 525i (480i), 525p (480p), 1125i (1080i), 750p (720p), 1125p (1080p)
