NOTES: 1. Completely insert the connection cord plugs when connecting to rear panel jacks. The picture and sound that is played back will be abnormal if the connection is loose.

2.The DVI-HDTV input on INPUT 1 contains the copy protection system called High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). HDCP is a cryptographic system that encrypts video signals when using DVI connections to prevent illegal copying of video contents.

3.DVI is not a “NETWORK” technology. It establishes a one-way point-to-point connection for delivery of uncompressed video to a display.

4.The connected digital output device controls the DVI interface so proper set-up of device user settings determines final video appearance.
