(8) DVI connections

Connection with equipment that has a DVI (Digital Visual Interface)-D connector permits the transfer of digital images.

✽When using display equipment that is not supported by the HDCP (content protection function), the image will not be output properly. (See the compatibility table.)

✽Make an audio connection also because an audio signal will not be output from the DVI-D connector.

✽Commercially-available DVI cables are available in 24-pin and 29-pin types. The DVD-2910/955 supports the 24-pin DVI-D cable, but the 29-pin DVI cable cannot be connected.

*1 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. Use analog audio outputs connectors to provide the audio output at “DIGITAL INTERFACE SETUP” under “SETUP”, set “HDMI AUDIO SETUP” to “2CH”.

*2 When the set’s HDMI connector is connected to a DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with an HDMI-DVI converter cable (commercially available), the signals are output in digital RGB, regardless of the “HDMI/DVI SELECT” setting.

To play the digital images and sounds of DVD video or DVD audio via an HDMI/DVI-D connection, it is necessary that both the player and monitor (or 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 partner equipment. The DVD-2910/955 supports HDCP. Please see the user’s manual of your monitor (or AV amplifier) for information about this.
