CONNECTIONS

Connection to a TV with an HDMI Compatible Port

A simple 1-cable connection (using a commercially available cable) with a device having an HDMI (High- Definition Multimedia Interface) connector allows digital transfer of the digital images of DVD-Video and other sources, DVD-Video, and the multi-channel sound of DVD-Audio.

*1 If the connected equipment is not compatible with HDMI BITSTREAM, signals are output on PCM.

*2 If the connected equipment is not compatible with HDMI Multi PCM, signals are output on down mixed PCM.

*3 If the connected equipment is not compatible with HDMI ver. 1.0, signals are not output.

*4 Sounds recorded on the MULTI-CH/2CH AREA of Super Audio CDs are not output.

*5 Transfer of signal from DVD audio discs that are copyright-protected by CPPM is only possible if both devices are HDMI Ver.1.1 compatible. This player is HDMI Ver.1.3 compatible.

Copyright protection system

To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the player and the display equipment (or an AV amplifier) support a copyright protection system called HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System). HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication of the connected AV equipment. This player supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your display equipment (or AV amplifier) for more information.

*HDMI: High-Definition Multimedia Interface

NOTES:

•When using an HDMI-incompatible or HDCP-incompatible display equipment, the image will not be viewed properly.

•When the PURE DIRECT button on the front panel is turned on, not only HDMI images but sounds are not output (refer to page 17).

•Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can control other devices via the HDMI connector; however, this play- er cannot be controlled by another device via the HDMI connector.

•The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit length) may be limited by the equipment that is connected.

•When playing a Super Audio CD with an HDMI connection, audio cannot be transferred beyond the CD layer. Make an ana- log connection for this.

•Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do not support audio output (for example, projectors). In connections with equipment such as this, audio signals are not output from the HDMI output connector.

•When the set’s HDMI connector is connected to a DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with an HDMI-DVI convert- er cable (commercially available), the signals are output in digital RGB.
