Connecting to a TV with an HDMI Compatible Port

[HDMI CONNECTION]

A simple 1-cable connection with a device having an HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) connector allows digital transfer of both digital video signals and multi-channel audio signals. This is the best method to connect this unit. It can minimise the deterioration of image quality.

Use the HDMI cable (commercially available) for connection.

Connect the HDMI output jack of this unit to the HDMI input jack of TV.

HDMI cable (not supplied)

Copyright protection system

To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the player and the display device (or an AV amplifier) support a copyright protection system called HDCP (high- bandwidth digital content protection system). HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication of the connected AV device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your display device (or AV amplifier) for more information.
