Basic Connection

You can enjoy high-quality picture by adding the HDMI cable connection to the 21-pin Scart cable connection between this unit and your TV.

Connecting to a TV with an HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) Cable (not included)

When connected to an HDMI compatible unit, an uncompressed digital audio and video signal is transmitted, enabling you to enjoy high quality, digital video and audio with just one cable. When connecting to an HDMI-compatible HDTV (High Definition Television), the output can be switched to 1080p, 1080i or 720p HD video.

This unit incorporates HDMITM (V.1.3a with Deep Colour) technology that can reproduce greater colour gradation (4096 steps) when connected to a compatible TV.

A lower colour gradation (256 steps), without Deep Colour, will be reproduced if connected to a TV which does not support Deep Colour.

The unit will automatically set appropriate output to suit the connected TV.

Video sources converted to 1920t1080 resolution, while of high quality, will exhibit somewhat lower subjective image resolution than true, native 1080p full-HD sources. See dealer for details.

Please use High Speed HDMI Cables that have the HDMI logo (as shown on the cover).

When setting video output to “1080p”, please use the HDMI cables 5.0 meters or less.
