HDMI In

HDMI Cable (to HDMI 1 or 2)

ξIf your TV has an HDMI input, you can use the included HDMI cable to connect the player directly to the TV. This connection method delivers both video and audio in a pure digital format via a single cable. The HDMI output of the player allows for the highest possible video quality and audio resolution.

ξThere are two HDMI output terminals (HDMI 1 OUT and HDMI 2 OUT) on the rear panel of BDP- 103, both of which can be connected to your TV. We recommend using HDMI 1 OUT since it benefits from the dedicated Marvell QDEO video processor.

ξYou may remove the HDMI cable and connect the DIAG (diagnostic) output to the TV through a regular composite video cable (not included) when there is a problem with HDMI video. Only the Setup Menu will be visible on the TV when using this connection, so it is limited to troubleshooting purposes only.

NOTE

ξThis connection method will output sound via the TV’s speakers. For optimal sound quality, it is recommended that audio be transferred from the BDP-103 to an A/V receiver with connected speakers.

ξIf your A/V receiver does not accept audio via HDMI, or if your receiver does not have HDMI inputs at all, see pages 16 and 17 for instructions on how to output audio to a receiver using different connection types.
