Analogue video connections

The 650BD can output video in both fully digital (HDMI) and analogue (Composite, S-Video and Component) formats. If your TV set supports HDMI then this is the preferred format (see next section).

If your TV set supports only analogue video the preferred connection is (in declining order of quality) Component, then S-Video and finally Composite.

HDMI connections

HDMI (High-Definition Multi-Media Interface) is a digital connection that can carry both audio and video in one cable. Direct digital transfer of video and support for various types of high definition video content make this the best connection type for picture quality.

DVI output can be supported simply by using DVI to HDMI adaptors as these two connection types are compatible. When using DVI only video will be passed to the TV/Monitor. A Co-axial (SPDIF) or Optical (TOSlink) digital audio connection must be made from the 650BD to the AV receiver for it to be able to receive audio and decode surround sound etc.

Note: The Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby True HD, DTS HD High Resolution and DTS HD Master Audio can only be passed by the 650BD over HDMI.

As HDMI can carry both digital audio and video, HDMI can be used to connect to AV receivers that support this function for external decoding.
