HDMI troubleshooting

Problem

No HDMI video output. (A connected HDMI component doesn’t work with this player.)

Remedy

•This unit has been designed to be compliant with HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface). Depending on the component you have connected, unreliable signal transfers may result.

•If you connect a DVI device to the HDMI output of this player, ensure that it is compliant with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP).

•If the front panel HDMI indicator is unlit then:

–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.

–Check that the HDMI cable is connected properly and that the cable isn’t damaged.

• If the front panel HDMI indicator is lit:

–Depending on your display, some of the settings may result in the picture disappearing. In this case, press OUTPUT RESOLUTION repeatedly until the picture re-appears (see Changing the output video resolution on page 12).

• Depending on the HDMI cable being used, 1080p output may not appear correctly (The supplied HDMI cable is capable of outputting 1080p video).

No HDMI audio output.	• If you have connected to an HDCP-compatible DVI component, there won’t be any audio output

from the HDMI terminal. Connect using the optical/coaxial digital outputs (or the analog outputs).
