Introduction

Via HDMI input

HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. HDMI transfers digital audio and uncompressed digital video on a single cable. As a result, audio cables and video cables don’t need to be connected separately to a device.

Connections

HDMI INPUT

Depending on the equipment connected to this player, such as a TV or a projector, no sound may be output by the display.

In this case, set “Digital Output HDMI” ( page 53) to “PCM”.

If sound still is not heard, use analog output.

To HDMI OUTPUT

This player supports simultaneous output of video on its HDMI and component video ports. However, some discs may restrict output of video on the component video ports when viewing high definition content or up-converted DVD content. The resolution on the HDMI output will be the same as the resolution output on the component video output. Thus, because the HDMI output can change automatically to match the maximum available resolution of your display, if you connect both the HDMI output and component output, the resolution on the component output will change if the HDMI output Auto-adjusts.

After completing the connection, proceed to page 23 to make the setting.

Notes

Refer to the owner’s manual for the TV to be connected to this player for more information concerning HDMI connections.

When the HDMI connection is not verified, an error message appears on the front panel display. In this case, disconnect the HDMI cable then connect it again, or turn off the connected HDMI device then turn it on.

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.

To get the most possible benefit from Dolby Digital Plus, you should connect your HD DVD player to your AV receiver using either its HDMI audio capable input. If your AV receiver has this type of input(s), make sure one of them is connected to your HD DVD player and that the input is set to use audio from HDMI (and not the SPDIF coaxial or optical input). If your AV receiver does not have an HDMI input, but it can decode DTS, then the next best choice is to use the SPDIF (coaxial or optical) input on your AV receiver. While this connection does not have enough bandwidth to transport the full, high-quality Dolby Digital Plus signal, it will support DTS – the highest bandwidth commonly available encoding method that does work over SPDIF. If your receiver does not support DTS, you may be able to obtain a two channel digital by setting the player to output PCM. If your receiver does not have either HDMI or an optical digital input, use the two channel analog outputs.

If you use the SPDIF optical output or analog outputs to connect your audio system and have the “Digital Output HDMI” ( page 53) set to “Auto” or “PCM”, the audio output level from these jacks will be reduced when listening to a multi-channel disc. To restore the audio output level, set “Digital Output HDMI” to “Downmixed PCM”.
