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 technologies 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 uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to five 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.

About HDMI Control

You can enable HDMI Control by turning the HDMI Control setting to On for all components connected via HDMI cable. Check the video output from this unit once you have completed making connections and settings for all components. You will need to check the video output each time you change connected components or remove the HDMI cable.

Note that HDMI Control may not operate properly if you do not use an HDMI cable that supports the HDMI 1.3 specification (Category 2) or later.

Note

•This unit 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 32, Resolution (Max) and HDMI Color on page 33 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 2 channel linear PCM signals (44.1 kHz to 192 kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit), and Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG audio bitstream, multi channel DSD, and multi channel linear PCM signals, (5.1 channel signals up to 96 kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit).

•Depending on the HDMI cable being used, 1080p output may not appear correctly.
