CONNECTIONS
Copyright protection system
To play back the digital video images of a BD / DVD
via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the
unit and the TV (or an AV receiver) support a
copyright protection system called HDCP (high-
bandwidth digital content protection system). HDCP is
copy protection technology that comprises data
encryption and authentication of the connected AV
device. This unit supports HDCP. Please read the
operating instructions of your TV (or AV receiver) for
more information.
* Do not set “HDMI Video Resolution” to “Source Direct” or
“1080p24” if the connected display device does not support the
video resolution of 1080p24. If "HDMI Video Resolution" is set
to "Source Direct", it may take a while to display the playback
picture, when the video resolution of a disc material switches
during playback.
