If you connect the DVD Recorder to an HDMI-compatible unit, just one cable transfers a high quality digital audio and video signal without interference.

!Once an HDAVI Control compatible unit has been connected to the HDMI terminal, switch the units on and automatically selects the input channel for the DVD Recorder. Repeat the procedure if there is any change to the HDMI terminal.

The audio signal cannot be transmitted via HDMI if an externally connected unit does not support CPPM (Content Protection for Prerecorded Media), or when playing a

DVD audio with copy protection. In this case, use an audio cable.

If a connected TV only supports dual-channel audio, then an audio signal with 3 or more channels is down-converted, with output through 2 audio channels.

It is not always possible to down-convert all discs.68 Titles where down-converting is not possible can only be reproduced via HDMI through an amplifier which corresponds to the HDMI Ver. 1.1 standard or higher and is CPPM compatible.

Connect an amplifier complying with the HDMI Ver. 1.1 standard and adjust the

 

setting in the [Setup] menu to [HDMI and Optical].

Now you can enjoy the full audio sound.

For HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) compatible units with DVI (Digital Visual Interface) connection (e.g. PC monitors): depending on the unit, it is possible that a DVI/HDMI adapter does not reproduce the video signal perfectly. The audio signal is not transmitted in this case.

If you connect this unit with an fully wired

21 pin scart cable you can use the Q Link functions to control the television and this unit. You can use both kinds of connection at the

same time.
