Connecting a TV

After connecting a TV, follow the instructions on page 10.

■IMPORTANT

•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.)

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 con- nected 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 func- tions of HDMI CEC. (Refer to page 50.)
