Important Note

•DVI (Digital Visual Interface)

DVI is an interface to enable the digital transmission of video signals between various digital devices. Using DVI, the DVD player transmits a digital video signal and displays a vivid picture on a TV having a DVI jack.

•Description of the DVI connection DVI-D connector : digital signal only.

DVI-I connector : digital and analog signal.

•Though the player is using DVI-I connector, the output from a DVI-I is only a digital signal.

•If TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital content protect), snow noise appears on the screen.

•Be careful that various connectors are similar to DVI connector, for example VESA PnD, VESA DFD and so on.

•Why we adopt DVI?

Generally, with an analog TV, an analog video signal is input to VIDEO IN.

However, when playing a DVD title the data transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to- analog converter(in the dvd player) and an analog-to-digital converter (in the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picture quality is degraded due to noise and loss of signal.

DVI technology requires no D/A conversion and DVI is a pure digital signal from the player to your TV.

•What is the HDCP?

HDCP(High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a system for protecting DVD content outputted via DVI from being copied. It provides a secure digital link between a video source(PC, DVD. etc) and a display device(TV, projector . etc). Content is encrypted at the source device to prevent unauthorized copies from being made.
