Samsung HT-BD7200 METHOD 2 : Component Video (BETTER), METHOD 3 : Composite Video (GOOD), EnG

~HDMI connection description

HDMI connector - Supports video and digital audio data.

-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.

~Why does Samsung use HDMI?

Analogue TVs require an analogue video/audio signal. However, when playing a BD/DVD, the data

transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analogue converter (in the Blu-ray Home Cinema) or an analogue-to-digital converter (in the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picture quality is degraded due to noise and signal loss. HDMI technology is superior because it requires no D/A conversion and is a pure digital signal from the player to your TV.

~What is the HDCP?

HDCP (High-band width Digital Content Protection) is a system for protecting BD/DVD content outputted via HDMI 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.

~What is Anynet+?

Anynet+ is a convenient function that offers linked operation of this unit through Samsung TVs with the Anynet+ feature.

-If your Samsung TV has an logo, then it supports the Anynet+ function.

-If you turn on the player and insert a disc, the player will start playing the disc, and the TV will turn on automatically and switch to HDMI mode.

-If you turn on the player and press the Play button with a disc already inserted, the TV will immediately turn on and switch to HDMI mode.

~What is BD Wise?

BD Wise is Samsung's latest inter-connectivity feature.

-When you connect Samsung products with BD-Wise to each other via HDMI, the optimum resolution will be set automatically.

METHOD 2 : Component Video (BETTER)

If your television is equipped with Component Video inputs, connect a Component video cable (not supplied) from the Component Video Output (Pr, Pb and Y) Jacks on the back of the Blu-ray Home Cinema to the Component Video Input Jacks on your TV.

M ` You can select from a variety of resolution settings such as 1080i, 720p, 576p/480p and 576i/480i, depending on the disc type. (See page 42)

`The actual resolution may differ from the setting in the SETUP menu if both Component and HDMI cables are connected. The resolution may also be different depending on the disc. (See page 42)

`After making the video connection, set the Video input source on your TV to match the corresponding Video output (HDMI, Component or Composite) on your Blu-ray Home Cinema. See your TV owner's manual for more information on how to select the TV's Video Input source.

`In DVD playback, if both HDMI and Component jacks are connected and you select the Component 1080p, 1080i or 720p mode, the Display Setup menu will show the output resolution as 1080p, 1080i or 720p in the menu.

The resolution is actually 576i/480i.

METHOD 3 : Composite Video (GOOD)

Connect the supplied Video cable from the VIDEO OUT jack on the back of the Blu-ray Home Cinema to the VIDEO IN jack on your TV.

M ` The VIDEO source is always output in 576i/480i resolution regardless of the resolution set in the SETUP menu. (See page 42)

`After making the video connection, set the Video input source on your TV to match the corresponding Video output (HDMI, Component or Composite) on your Blu-ray Home Cinema. See your TV owner's manual for more information on how to select the TV's Video Input source.

`Do not connect the unit through a VCR. Video signals fed through VCRs may be affected by copyright protection systems and the picture will be distorted on the television.
