Preparation

NOTE

•DD-8 and DD-3 support up to HDMI version 1.0. The HDMI video signal type can be checked with the “HDMI” indicator in the display window.

(Refer to “Selecting the video signal type” shown on the right.)

•If the picture is distorted while an HDMI TV is connected, turn off the main unit and turn it on again.

•A TV compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) can also be con- nected to the [HDMI] terminal, so that the uncompressed HD video signal type can be out- put as well.

■CAUTION

•Do not connect an S-video cable and a compo- nent video cable at the same time. Otherwise the picture may not be played back properly.

•Connect the main unit directly to a TV (or a mon- itor) without routing through a video cassette recorder (VCR). Otherwise picture distortion may occur during playback. (Routing the con- nection through a VCR, however, does not affect the audio quality.)
