Connecting using HDMI
If you have a HDMI or DVI-equipped
1
monitor or display
2
,
you can connect it to this recorder using an HDMI cable
(not supplied).
The HDMI connector outputs uncompressed digital
video, as well as almost every kind of digital audio.
1 Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI OUT
connector on this recorder to an HDMI connector on
an HDMI-compatible monitor.
• The arrow on the cable connector body should be
face up for correct alignment with the connector on
the recorder.
When connected to an HDMI component,
HDMI 576P
(PAL) or
HDMI 480P
(NTSC) is shown in the front panel
display and the HDMI indicator lights.
HDMI setup is generally automatic. There are however
settings you can change if you need to. See
HDMI Output
on page 121 for more information. Note that the HDMI
settings remain in effect until you change them, or
connect a new HDMI component.
Important
• An HDMI connection can only be made with DVI-
equipped components compatible with both DVI and
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP).
If you choose to connect to a DVI connector, you wil
need a DVI to HDMI adaptor cable. A DVI to HDCP
connection, however, does not support audio.
Consult your local audio dealer for more information.
• When connected to an HDCP-compatible DVI
component,
DVI 576P
(PAL) or
DVI 480P
(NTSC) is
displayed and the HDMI indicator lights.
•The HDMI connection is compatible with 44.1/48kHz,
16/20/24 bit 2-channel linear PCM signals, as well as
Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio bitstream.
About HDMI
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports
both video and audio on a single digital connection for
use with DVD players and recorders, 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 uncom-
pressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 5 gigabits per
second (Dual Link), one connector (instead of several
cables and connectors), and communication between
the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.

Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI

patible with these resolutions the picture may not be correctly reproduced.
