Connecting a Component with an HDMI Input

This section shows how to connect the DV-CP704 to a AV receiver, HDTV, or projector that has an HDMI input socket.

What is HDMI?

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new connection format that can carry uncompressed, stan- dard or high definition digital video and up to eight chan- nels of digital audio. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV com- ponents together. With HDMI, a single cable is all that’s necessary to achieve the best picture and audio quality. HDMI video is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface). To send HDMI video to a DVI input requires an HDMI-to-DVI cable. The DV-CP704 supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), and for an HDMI-to-DVI connection to work, the other component must also support it. Note that this may not work with some DVI components.

Using HDMI

Use the HDMI cable to connect the DV-CP704’s HDMI OUT to an HDMI input on your AV receiver. Alterna- tively, you can connect the DV-CP704 directly to the HDMI input on your TV.
