Connecting—Continued

E. Connecting a SCART-compatible TV (European model only)

This section shows how to connect the DV-SP1000/ DV-SP1000E to a TV fitted with a SCART socket. SCART is a convenient connection format because it carries video (RGB, S-Video, composite) and stereo ana- log audio all in a single cable. If your TV has a Dolby Pro Logic decoder built-in, with a SCART connection you’ll be able to enjoy DVDs that bear the Dolby Surround logo.

Use the supplied SCART cable to connect the DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E’s AV CONNECTOR to a SCART socket on your TV.

F.Connecting a Component with an HDMI Input

This section shows how to connect the DV-SP1000/ DV-SP1000E to a AV receiver, HDTV, or projector that has an HDMI input socket.

What is HDMI?

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new connection format that can carry uncompressed, stan- dard or high definition digital video and up to eight chan- nels of digital audio. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV com- ponents together. With HDMI, a single cable is all that’s necessary to achieve the best picture and audio quality. HDMI video is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface). To send HDMI video to a DVI input requires an HDMI-to-DVI cable. The DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Pro- tection), and for an HDMI-to-DVI connection to work, the other component must also support it. Note that this may not work with some DVI components.

Notes:

The DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E’s SCART socket can output RGB, S-Video, or composite video. The default setting is composite video. If your TV’s SCART socket supports RGB or S-Video (check your TV’s manual), you can change this setting and enjoy better picture quality (see page 74).

See the tables on page 27 for details on how the DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E outputs video and audio from its SCART socket.

Using HDMI

Use the supplied HDMI cable to connect the DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E’s HDMI OUT to an HDMI input on your AV receiver. Alternatively, you can connect the DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E directly to the HDMI input on your TV.

Notes:

Use the Digital Out/Digital 2 settings to match the HDMI output format with your HDTV (see page 75).

The DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), a pro- tection system for digital video. HDMI components that you connect to the DV-SP1000/DV-SP1000E must also support HDCP.
