Notes:

The player has been designed to be compliant with HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface). Depending on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers.

When you change the component connected to the HDMI output, you will also need to change the HDMI settings to match the new component (see “HDMI Out” on page 45, “HDMI Resolution” on page 46 and “HDMI Color” on page 46 to do this).

However, the settings for each component are then stored in memory (for up to 2 components).

The HDMI connection is compatible with 44.1 kHz/ 48 kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit 2 channel linear PCM sig- nals, as well as Doldy Digital, DTS and MPEG audio bitstream.

About HDMI

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital connection for use with DVD players, DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI was developed to provide the technolo- gies of High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one specification. HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted and received by DVI-compliant displays. HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncom- pressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 5 gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals), one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and communication between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.
