Connecting HDMI devices

NOTE

The audio signal from the HDMI output connector (sampling frequency, number of channels, etc.) may be limited by the HDMI audio specifications of the connected device regarding permissible inputs.

When connecting a TV that does not support the ARC function, an audio cable connection is required in addition to the HDMI cable. In this case, refer to “Connecting a TV” (vpage 13) for the connection method.

For the ARC function, see “About ARC (Audio Return Channel) function” (vpage 8).

Connecting to a device equipped with a DVI-D connector

The DVI-D (Digital Visual Interface) method is also used for video transmission via digital signals. This is developed mainly for computers, and some displays such as projectors are equipped with this interface. To output HDMI video signals to a DVI-D video input compatible device, use an HDMI/DVI conversion cable or adapter.

The DVI-D connector can transmit high quality digital video signals, but copy guard and other issues may hinder normal operations for some device combinations.

NOTE

• No sound is output when connected to a device equipped with a DVI-D connector. Make audio connections as described in “Connecting a TV” (vpage 13).

• Signals cannot be output to DVI-D devices that do not support HDCP.

• Depending on the combination of devices, the video signals may not be output.

Settings required when using a TV that supports the ARC function

When using a TV that supports the ARC function, make the following settings.

• Set “HDMI Control” (vpage 116) to “On”.

Video signals are not output if the input video signals do not match the display’s resolution. In this case, switch the Blu-ray Disc/DVD player’s resolution to a resolution with which the display is compatible.

When this unit and monitor are connected with an HDMI cable, if the display or monitor is not compatible with HDMI audio signal playback, only the video signals are sent to the display or monitor.
