There’s no picture from the Hdmi output

04Getting Started

You can’t hear multi-channel DVD-Audio using the HDMI interface. Make sure that DVD-Audio Out is set to 2 Channel (see DVD-Audio Out on page 78) for a stereo downmix (note that some discs will not allow you to do this). Also, you won’t hear any sound from the HDMI output if the source component is only DVI/HDCP- compatible.

DV-868AVionly–If the i.LINK interface is active, all other audio outputs are switched off. You can check by looking at the i.LINK indicator on the front panel. If it’s lit then the player is outputting audio over i.LINK. See Audio Out on page 76 for how to switch it off.

•My AV receiver is definitely compatible with 96/88.2kHz Linear PCM audio, but it doesn’t seem to work with this player. What’s wrong?

For digital copy-protection purposes, some 96/88.2kHz DVD discs only output digital audio downsampled to 48/44.1kHz through the optical and coaxial outputs. This is not a malfunction. To fully take advantage of the high sampling rate audio, connect the analog audio outputs to your amplifier/receiver.

•Why can’t I hear SACD audio through the optical/coaxial digital outputs or the HDMI interface?

SACD audio is only available through the analog outputs and the i.LINK connector (DV-868AVi only). This is not a malfunction. Also, some DVD-Audio discs only output audio through the analog outputs and i.LINK connector.

•Is it better to listen to DVD-Audio discs through the analog outputs?

Some DVD-Audio discs do not output anything through the digital outputs, and multichannel discs are downmixed to stereo for the optical and coaxial digital

outputs. In addition, high sampling rate DVD-Audio discs (96kHz or higher) automatically downsample audio output from the optical/coaxial digital outputs.

Using the multichannel analog audio outputs or the i.LINK connector (DV- 868AVi only) for DVD-Audio have none of these limitations.

•I’ve connected to a HDMI/DVI compatible component but I can’t get any signal and the front panel HDMI indicator won’t light!

Make sure that you’ve selected this player as the HDMI input in the settings for the component you’re using. You may need to refer to the instruction manual of the component to do this.

An HDMI connection can only be made with components compatible with both DVI and High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). See Connecting using HDMI on page 21 for more on HDMI compatibility.

•There’s no picture from the HDMI output!

Depending on the source material, you may not be able to get a picture from DVI- compatible sources. DVI sources must also be encoded using High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) for you to see a picture using this player. See Connecting using HDMI on page 21 for more on HDMI compatibility.

Make sure the resolution on this player matches that of the component you have connected using HDMI. See HDMI Settings on page 71 to change the HDMI resolution.
