ξIf your TV has a DVI input that supports HDCP, you can purchase an HDMI-DVI cable to connect the player to the TV. This connection method delivers digital video to the TV without any signal degradation. We recommend that you use HDMI 1 OUT since it benefits from the dedicated video processor.

ξPlease use Red/White audio cables (not included) to connect the FL (Front Left) and FR (Front Right) terminals of the player to the TV. Make sure the audio cables are connected to the same input terminal group on the TV as the DVI input. Usually, the input terminals are marked as “DVI Audio” or “PC Audio”. On some TVs you may need to use an RCA-3.5mm Mini-Jack adapter cable to connect the audio.

ξYou may connect the DIAG (diagnostic) output to one of your TVs for troubleshooting purpose. Refer to page 13 for more details.

NOTE

HDCP stands for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. The HDMI outputs of the BDP-103 use HDCP to encrypt the digital audio and video content. The TV must support HDCP in order to decrypt and properly display the content.
