Analog video connections

The DVD99 can output video in both fully digital (HDMI) and analog (Composite, S-Video, RGB/SCART and Component) formats. If your TV set supports HDMI then this is the preferred format (see next section).

If your TV set supports only analog video the preferred connection is (in declining order of quality) Component, then RGB/SCART, S-Video and finally Composite.

HDMI connections

HDMI (High-Definition Multi-Media Interface) is a digital connection that can carry both audio and video in one cable. Direct digital transfer of video and support for various types of High Definition video content make this the best connection type for picture quality.

DVI output can be supported simply by using DVI to HDMI adaptors as these two connection types are compatible. When using DVI only video will be passed to the TV/Monitor. A Co-axial (SPDIF) or Optical (TOSlink) digital audio connection must be made from the DVD99 to the AV receiver for it to be able to receive audio and decode surround sound etc.

As HDMI can carry both digital audio and video, HDMI can be used to connect to AV receivers that support this function. If your AV receiver is able to receive audio over HDMI only one cable is required*.

*If your AV receiver can switch HDMI but not receive audio in this way, an additional SPDIF or TOSlink cable will be required.

If the HDMI input of your TV is only capable of decoding 2-channel digital audio, it is recommended that you set the Down-mix to 'Stereo'* in the Speaker setup page in the DVD99 setup menu. This sets the audio down-mix mode of the DVD player to 'Stereo'.
