✎✎ NOTES

■■ If you use an HDMI-to-DVI cable to connect to your display device, you must also connect the Digital Audio Out on the player to an audio system to hear audio.

■■ An HDMI cable outputs digital video and audio, so you don't need to connect an audio cable.

■■ Depending on your TV, certain HDMI output resolutions may not work. Please refer to the user manual of your TV.

■■ When you connect the player to your TV using the HDMI cable or to a new TV, and then turn it on for the first time, the player automatically sets the HDMI output resolution to the highest supported by the TV.

■■ A long HDMI cable may cause screen noise. If this occurs, set HDMI Deep Colour to Off in the menu.

■■ To view video in the HDMI 720p, 1080i, or 1080p output mode, you must use a High speed HDMI cable.

■■ HDMI outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.

If your TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), random noise appears on the screen.
