Connecting using HDMI

If you have a HDMI or DVI-equipped monitor or display, you can connect it to this player using a commercially available HDMI cable.

The HDMI connector outputs uncompressed digital video, as well as almost every kind of digital audio that the player is compatible with, including DVD-Video, DVD-Audio (see below for limitations), Video CD/Super VCD, CD and MP3.

1Use an HDMI cable to connect the

HDMI OUT interconnect on this player to an HDMI interconnect on a HDMI-compat- ible monitor.

•The arrow on the cable connector body should be face up for correct alignment with the connector on the player.

When you first switch on the player, you will see the HDMI settings menu appear on your monitor or display. From here you can select the resolution, aspect ratio and audio settings, as well as adjust the video presenta- tion to your liking. For more on these settings see HDMI Settings on page 73.

HDMI or DVI appears in the front panel display according to the compatibility of the component connected.

•An HDMI connection can only be made with DVI-equipped components compat- ible with both DVI and High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). If you choose to connect to a DVI connector, you will need a separate adaptor

(DVI HDMI) to do so. A DVI/HDCP connection, however, does not support audio signals. Consult your local audio dealer for more information.

•When you change the component connected to the HDMI output, you will also need to change the HDMI settings to match the new component (see HDMI Settings on page 73 to do this). However, the settings for each component are then stored in memory (for up to 5 compo- nents).

•The HDMI connection is compatible with 44.1/48kHz, 16/20/24 bit 2 channel linear PCM signals, as well as Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio bitstream.

•It is not possible to output SACD or copy- controlled DVD-Audio CPPM sources from the HDMI connection.

About HDMI

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital connection for use with DVD players, DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI was developed to provide the technolo- gies of High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one specification. HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted and received by DVI-compliant displays.
