Resetting the HDMI connection

If you get an error message (the display shows HDMI ERR) or if the screen goes blank (for example, after changing the resolution), check the troubleshooting guide on page 44. If this doesn’t solve the problem, follow the steps below to reset the HDMI connection.

1 Switch the system into standby.

•The arrow on the cable connector body should be face up for correct alignment with the connector on the player.

You can also adjust the HDMI settings for resolution and color. For more on these settings see Video Output settings on page 27.

Note

1 • An HDMI connection can only be made with DVI-equipped components compatible with both DVI and High Bandwidth Dig- ital Content Protection (HDCP). If you choose to connect to a DVI connector, you will need a separate adaptor (DVI HDMI) to do so. A DVI connection, however, does not support audio signals. Consult your local audio dealer for more information.

•This unit has been designed to be compliant with HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) Version 1.1. 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 Video Output settings on page 27 to do this).

2 If the AUTO surround mode is selected, there are cases where you won’t hear sound from the center and surround speakers. In this case, we recommend selecting AUDIO OFF.
