Connecting the DVD receiver—Continued

Connecting your HDTV or AV component with an HDMI connection

This section shows how to connect the DVD receiver to an HDTV, projector, or game console that has an HDMI input/output socket.

What is HDMI?

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new connection format that can carry uncompressed, stan- dard or high definition digital video and digital audio. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components together. With HDMI, a single cable is all that’s necessary to achieve the best picture quality.

HDMI video is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface). To send HDMI video to a DVI input requires an HDMI-to-DVI cable. The DVD receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), and for an HDMI-to-DVI connection to work, the other component must also support it. Note that this may not work with some DVI components.

Using HDMI

Use the HDMI cable (not supplied) to connect the DVD receiver’s HDMI OUT to an HDMI input on your TV. In the same manner, connect the DVD receiver’s HDMI IN to an HDMI OUT on the game console, etc.

HDMI & the DVD receiver

■Video

The DVD receiver’s HDMI OUT supports the following video resolutions:

•720 x 480p (progressive), 60 Hz

•1280 x 720p (progressive), 50/60 Hz

•1920 x 1080i (interlaced), 50/60 Hz

If the connected HDTV or projector doesn’t support a resolution, you may get no picture.

On the DVD receiver, you can select a resolution suit- able for use with the connected HDTV or projector (see page 30).

■Audio Formats

The DVD receiver’s HDMI OUT supports the following audio formats:

•PCM (96 kHz, 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz)

•Dolby Digital

•DTS

Notes:

•If your HDMI-compatible TV or projector doesn’t support Dolby Digital and DTS, the HDMI OUT will not output digital audio in that format. In this case, set the “Digital/HDMI Audio Out” setting to “PCM” (see page 61).

•If your TV doesn’t support digital audio at high sam- pling rates, set the “Linear PCM Out” setting to “Down Sample On”, so that it’s down sampled to below 48 kHz (see page 61).

•Note that audio from SACD discs or audio from the multi channel area of a DVD-Audio discs is not output by the HDMI OUT.

•The audio signal input from HDMI IN is not output from the speakers connected to the DVD receiver but only from the TV.

With some TVs and input signals, no sound may be output. In these cases, set the connected device’s out- put to PCM.

•Audio and video inputs from VIDEO 1 INPUT or VIDEO 2/DOCK INPUT are not be output from

HDMI OUT.
