(11) DVI-D 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.

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

✽Commercially DVI cables are available in 24-pin and 29-pin types. The DVD-A1XV supports the 24-pin DVI-D cable, but the 29-pin DVI cable cannot be connected.

DVI-D Input connector

24P DVI-D cable (commercially available)

DVI-D Settings

•When using DVI-D connections, use the HDMI/DVI SELECT button on the main unit or the remote control unit to set “HDMI Y Cb Cr” or “HDMI R G B”. (See “HDMI/DVI SELECT” on page 63. By default, this setting is set to “HDMI/DVI OFF”.)

✽Signals are output via the DVI-D connector in RGB format, regardless of whether “HDMI Y Cb Cr” or “HDMI R G B” is set.

When connecting both the HDMI and DVI-D connectors to monitors

•Video signals with the same resolution are output via the HDMI and DVI-D connectors.

•When monitors are connected to both the HDMI and DVI-D connectors in the AUTO mode, the resolution is set automatically according to the connected devices. (See “HDMI/DVI FORMAT” on page 63.)

q When two HDMI devices are connected (an HDMI-DVI conversion cable is required)

The resolutions of the two HDMI devices are detected automatically, the lowest resolution is selected and the signals are output with that resolution.

w When one HDMI and one DVI device are connected The resolution is set to “480P/576P”.

e When two DVI devices are connected (an HDMI-DVI conversion cable is required) The resolution is set to “480P/576P”.

It is also possible to set the resolution manually. Use the HDMI/DVI FORMAT button on the main unit or the remote control unit to set the resolution to “480P/576P”, “720P” or “1080i” according to the resolution of the connected device.

•Select the HDMI output format, either the Y Cb Cr or the RGB format. Use the HDMI/DVI SELECT button on the main unit or the remote control unit to make the setting. The DVI-D output is set to the RGB format regardless of the HDMI setting. (See page 63.)

Connecting an HDMI-DVI conversion cable

•When connecting to a monitor using a commercially available HDMI-DVI conversion cable, no audio signals are output.

•When connected to a DVI-D compatible monitor, the output is automatically switched to RGB.

•For stable signal transfer, we recommend using cables that are a maximum of 5 meters in length.

Copyright Protection System

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-A1XV supports HDCP. Please see the user’s manual of your monitor (or AV amplifier) for information about this.
