IMPORTANT

Connect the main unit directly to a TV (or a monitor) without routing through a video cassette recorder (VCR) or an HDD/DVD recorder. Otherwise picture distortion may occur during playback. (Routing the connection through a VCR or an HDD/DVD recorder, however, does not affect the audio quality.)

Connecting the main unit to a VCR-built-in-TV may also cause picture distortion during playback.

Connecting a TV with the [HDMI MONITOR OUT] terminal

This system can output uncompressed digital video signals to a TV compatible with HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface).

NOTE

The HDMI video signal type can be checked with the “HDMI” indicator in the display window. (Refer to “Selecting the video signal type” on page 10.)

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 connected to the [HDMI MONITOR OUT] terminal, so that the uncompressed HD video signal type can be output as well.

This system is compatible with some basic functions of HDMI CEC. (Refer to page 57.)

NOTE

You can output the audio signal from the [DIGITAL OUT] terminal when “DVD”, “USB” or “DGTL IN” is selected as the source in the display window.

When “DGTL IN” is selected as the source in the display window, digital audio from the [DIGITAL OUT] terminal is decoded to a linear PCM signal.
